When Eyjafjallajökull erupted in March 2010, ash plumes drifted southeast over Europe and, as a result, the controlled airspaces over many European countries were closed to air traffic, stranding thousands of people worldwide. Why would flying a commercial jet through a cloud of volcanic ash be dangerous?
