After four days, flights across Europe are still suspended as a result of Iceland's volcano eruption. This is the most extensive air travel shutdown since the terror attack of 9/11. Flights have been slashed by a quarter since the volcano's eruption last Thursday (15/4/2010), causing airlines to suffer hundreds of millions of dollars in daily damages. Hundreds of thousands of passengers have been stranded worldwide due to thick clouds of ashes which are smothering the continent. Unfortunately it isn't quite over yet, as officials predict the suspension of aviation to continue for a few days to come.
The main thing that these four volcanoes have in common is that they were all once a beautiful quiet scenery, that is until they erupted and caused a lot of damage.
