When will the Iceland volcano stop?

(CNN) – European transportation officials are using words like "unprecedented" and "unsustainable" when describing air travel across the continent.

That's just the short-term view. There's a very real threat of more eruptions in Iceland. To help us understand how unpredictable the situation is, we spoke with R.B. Trombley on Monday's American Morning. He is the lead volcanologist and director of the International Volcano Research Center.

    I agree with Mr. Trombley as he speaks of volcanoe or volcanoes being similar to mans personalities. You see, in my own perception, when the air as in the air we breathe-in has been gradually polluted with negativity such as hate and non-sense wars alike. It causes the Earth ground to move with thus magnetic pattern that allies with karma; no matter what movement, or somehow we believe that we can deviate from it. We cant! because the Earths ground causes that magnetic function all around us (so to speak how our planet was built with magnetic gravity to move with precision) which includes mans daily behavioral in life that moves with the Earth's magnetic circumnavigated energy around the Sun. Therefore in relation with Mr. trombley's: Volcanoe reacts or filters up like man's point of view when anger arises. So if one fears of its untimely eruption. Surely i must confide with a drink which put our negative mood-swings aside. Then one shall see that my god speaks the real deal. In Hawaii we call it the mysterious wife of god whose name is Pele (the eruptor of all volcanoes) but she seems to stop when she's content with the drink given by her husband. lol..............................gutc

    since the airline is responsible for the lives of their passenger,i believe they are responsible for their safe journey too...and no one can be hold for natural disaster......we have to accept it just like that.

    What do people think will happen even IF the ash output stopped immediately, which isn't the way it works? The ash that is already in the atmosphere is going to be around for a while. It will settle over a huge area. This isn't over and the "fall out" will be long lasting. "The worst is likely over" is one way to spin it, but not very accurately. Ret. Geo.

    Definitely agree that for this one the airlines should not be held responsible for any monies. And yes, everytime we THINK that we know about nature and talking about controlling it, she shows us that we can't!

    I think the airlines should not be held responsible to pay passengers for their inconvenience. It is a natural disaster, beyond the airlines control

    Hopefully the Iceland Volcano's will continue blasting away for a very long time and slowing down both foreign wars.

    This just proves we mere mortals are not in control of anything in nature.
