No surprise that it blows every so often. The Icelandic economy went down the pan for plenty of other reasons, no need to invoke volcanic activity as one of them. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 927388I'm talking about the knowledge of MAJOR earth changing volcanic eruptions, like nothing we have seen in the last 200 years or so. Sounds far fetched? Just read the news to find out how much the airlines are losing day by day as this crisis continues. |

Now, if (or when) Yellowstone blows THAT would be a major bad hair day for the Northen Hemisphere. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 526155 Canada 04/20/2010 02:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is my theory: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 937913In October 2008, it was discovered that the 3 main Icelandic volcanos were due to erupt very soon, within a year or so. The western investors in Iceland were warned that when this happened, all the money invested in Icelandic banks would be required for emergency/contingency plans to evacuate the entire population, of around 317,000. The western investors decided to pull their money, quickly, hence the move to get their money out by whatever means possible. The west (particularly the UK) invoked "anti-terrorism legislation" to secure their monies, and Iceland resisted, knowing they would need the assets deposited there quite soon. And so here we are know, with one volcano already causing major problems for the airlines in the UK and most of Europe You might be right. Either way, they definitely targeted Iceland for a fall, no doubt about that. |
