Iceland volcano
According to the article, hundreds of thousands of travelers have been stranded by governmental actions that closed airspace because of the cloud spewed from the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland.
Major airports across Europe has closed for a fifth day.
Flying through a volcanic cloud can cause a plane's engines to fail, a threat that led officials to suspend flights. It was expected that only about one-third of the usual 8,000 European flights would be in the air Monday.
The head of the International Air Transport Association told the BBC the flight ban was costing airlines $200 million a day.
Recently, my friend Chika and I were thinking about how to escape from work. We were racking our brains trying to figure it out.
We are friend from college days and both are travel addict.
Just then, she were traveling Bangkok in Thailand.
She was thinking she wanted to be idling away her time by the pool.
She made mention that we can escape from our work if the airport was closed by strike-bound or something while we were traveling.
I thought it was good idea, but it's not as simple as it's sound.
And this case is worse.
I watched on TV that hundreds of thousands people have stranded in the airport and no one exactly knows when they can leave from there.
They all are worried, tired, frustrated and giving up. and they are staying airport and waiting resumption of operation.
I feel that travel is just travel and it should end and we are supposed to get back to work.
I just pray that Europe government will decide to reopen the airport. And I pray people who hung up in the airport will get back to normal day.
