FW: Test the effects of ash on jet engines

Yeah! We should solve problem proactively.
'Next week marks five years since the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull that halted air traffic over Europe. For six days flights were grounded as politicians and the public wrestled with ideas of risk management and scientific uncertainty. Good decisions were made at the time, but in the immediate aftermath, governments and airlines promised that they would learn the lessons of a shutdown that cost the global economy an estimated US$5 billion. So would things be different if the same eruption happened tomorrow? Yes and no.'
