Eyjafjallajokull.

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano has caused mass disruption in Europe, costing millions of dollars a day to the economy and it would seem that no news reader in the western world is brave enough to try and pronounce Eyjafjallajokull, it is simply called the volcano.

Holidays have been wrecked by Eyjafjallajokull and airlines are increasingly keen to start flying again, along with some bureaucrats “It is clear that this is not sustainable,” the European Union’s transport commissioner, Siim Kallas, told reporters in Brussels. “We cannot just wait until this ash cloud dissipates.” It is suggested that flights may resume by Wednesday, but imagine if flights were not able to leave Europe for the next month, six months, year, Europe's skies shut off by mass of thick ash, an economy cripled, alterior methods of transport used, only rogue airlines and brave passengers daring to take on the thick ash.
