Air Traffic Gridlock

On April 14, Wednesday, 2010, the world awakened to the news about the eruption of  Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano which was dormant for about 200 years. As ashes, fumes, and lava fill the air, it caused chaos all over the world when all jets and airplanes were grounded in the surrounding areas. Travel planes for thousands were disrupted and airliners lost millions due to the recent havoc.

Today, flights resume in Europe as authorities confirmed the safety of the air-crafts after almost a week of chaos. Perhaps it will take days or even weeks to recuperate as airliners struggle to reconcile the effects of more than 95,000 canceled flights. Time will tell and time will heal.
