While the volcanic ash looms over Europe, the airlines are finally being allowed to fly again. However there is some serious concern over the skeptic and hesitant decision to start flying. There is worry that not all the channels of safety have been tested and that there is a great deal of risk in flying so soon. We'll see what happens as the week goes on. Not only could the airlines be putting passengers at risk, they could also be doing severe damage to their airplanes.

Volcano Eruption

Some raw footage of a volcano eruption. Some of you might know that volcano activity is vital to producing valuable minerals.

This a natural process and is quite a beautiful sight.
