Putting Things In Perspective of the Day: As you may have heard by now, the UK has been forced to shut down its airspace, with parts of Scandinavia following suit, due to the volcanic activity currently taking place in Iceland, which has produced a high-altitude cloud of ash too thick for pilots to navigate through. Nowhere is this dramatic turn of events better illustrated than on the Swedish website Flightradar24, where visitors can watch airplanes fly over Europe in real-time.
There is no word as of yet on when the restrictions will be lifted.

Hey Mother Earth, quiet down! It’s not like we did anything to you… oh, wait.
