First new: Volcanic ash cloud forces postponement of Japan MotoGP

As you should know last wednesday 14th of April the Icelandic volcanic eruption created a very big cloud of volcanic ash which extended very fast in the main part of Europe and Asia. Because of that the organization of the Moto GP of Motegi, in Japan, decided to postpone the Grand prix because the cloud has made that the main part of the flights in Europe become cancelled. This makes very difficult to carry the material and the personal of the teams to Motegi and this GP will celebrate before the GP of Malaysia.

In my opinio
n the decision of the manager of the airlines to decide to cancell the main part of the flights in Europe only for this cloud maybe is too exorbitant. I mean some airline companies decided to do some testing flights to evaluate the conditions of the atmosphere because of the cloud, and they said that it wasn't dangerous to fly. But I also have to say that it's a very big responsibility to make this decision because the lives of lots of people depend on you. I guess that the posture of the manager is responsible and far-sighted.

Hi Nil :)
This morning I've commented on the same news.
I think it's a good mesure, not exaggerated. Lots of people travel by plane, so imagine how terrible it would be...! They have to be sure there are good and safe conditions to fly.

bziiiuu! lol ;)
