Mt St Helens was a single eruptive event, lasting a few hours at most. The Icelandic eruption has lasted for many days weeks?) spewing enormous amounts of particulates into the atmosphere far above Mt St Helens. Why don't you let the pros do their job instead of amateurish jabbing?

The US didn't blanket ban air travel after Mount St Helens, there was no continent wide ban and no air crashes. Yes, there were several planes that made emergency landings from engine damage but they were in the air in the area of the volcano when the eruption occured. Most delays were caused by ripple effects from places actually effected by the plume, and actual air sampling gave a very good idea of where the problems areas lay. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
