Volcano, the European aircraft grounded week

In the April 15 awards ceremony, the Russian judges in use arrived hand iPad see Icelandic volcanic eruptions in the news, I patronize the join in the fun to see iPad function, and no sense of this I also have a significant impact, Moreover, Iceland from Germany still a long way. Results of a tragedy the next morning, television stations reported that because of volcanic ash affecting flight safety, "European flight control" (EuroControl, the European air navigation safety organization) that Western Europe, Scandinavia the airport closed. Grounded on the first day of the 17,000 in the next five days it was.
Responsible for air safety in Europe, "European flight control", is based in Brussels, EU institutions, the European countries have direct control over the air. Such a power is evolving. July 1, 2002, is located in southern Germany, Baden - Württemberg Baobang Wu bohringen crash occurred over the city, a Russian flight and an express delivery company DHL cargo plane collided errors in Yinrui Shi dispatchers. Since then the whole of Europe, the idea of flight safety in the game deeply rooted among the countries are willing to accept the fact that the flight control handed over sovereignty to avoid a similar tragedy occur again having problems with coordination. "European flight control," about the ban,
Western Europe, Northern Europe over the handful of aircraft.
In this way, Europe has become "9.11" and the world's largest no-fly zone. I do not like ordinary tourists in suffers with it, the whole contest organizers arranged for us to stay and help contact the airline, in Berlin the day hiding volcanic ash is basically a joke in all countries spent talking. But European airlines, the loss of billions of euros a day is not a joke, but a huge disaster. EU to send NATO aircraft flight test results show that the aircraft engine did the damage by the ash, but the KLM, British Airways, Lufthansa of Germany have sent their test flights, and even some CEO was personally involved in flight test,
To prove that "the European flight control," rendering the situation and in fact did not matter. British Airways to break the ban is the ultimate Denver - London flights, in London, circled over the force, "European flight control" open the airport. The next day the airport opened in Europe. Airlines around the world before this follow-up, 22, I finally riding on China's Hainan Airlines [8.10 -0.86%] increase in the company's particular 490A flight back to Beijing.
Thankfully, the outbreak of the glaciers of Iceland eyjafjallajokull (Eyjafjallajkull) volcano, and it does not wake the neighbors hekla terror, which is known as the gates of hell. Suppose Hai Kela broke out, I probably only take about five days to consider the train, pass back to Beijing to Moscow. And if so, to judge according to scientists, volcanic ash cloud makes a lot of biological extinction.
This is not the week the European aircraft, the entire process of international exchange and globalization are the unexpected shock. Polish President's funeral, including numerous international dignitaries, including Barack Obama because of the no-fly can not go to Europe. German Chancellor Angela Merkel to visit in Beijing, could not fly back directly, but to let fly back to Southern Europe in Lisbon, and then drove home, and then by helicopter to Portland. British business executives in Africa, spent tens of thousands of pounds to find ways to back the country. A singer, to return home only, and taxi drivers for their summer concert VIP tickets. All international meetings in Europe this week have been delayed, canceled,
The Europeans can not go to other places to participate in any international conferences and negotiations. DHL and other courier companies and Europe cut off the Express, the world's major airports outside Europe are exported to Europe but has been filled with flowers and food rotting seafood.
Assuming hekla make this state one year and then the whole world about to face the facts: there is no participation in the globalization of the European aircraft still exist? No planes in Europe, but also to maintain today's rich and prosperous? Perhaps Western Europe (Anglo-German Law) rapidly decline, Southern and Central Europe quickly replace them, but the World Conference will focus on Hong Kong, New York and Beijing held for longer points, London, Paris and Berlin will be very few people live in waste all.
This reminds us that globalization than we thought it would be more dependent on real traffic, but in fact the cost is far from simple mouse click. In fact, hidden behind the rhetoric of globalization many obstacles, will be overshadowed in certain times of all the factors, the destruction of fragile globalization. Globalization must have a sudden and huge profits, can allow these obstacles to become less important.
In addition, when the global climate scientists and politicians are warming the world in Copenhagen to discuss the future, no one even predicted in advance to make this small European no-fly week Icelandic volcano. Nature is clearly powerful than we thought, man can conquer nature remains unrealistic dream, but civilization might really like Pompeii again as quickly be overwhelmed.
Avoid difficulties due to volcanic ash in the week in Berlin, I think the love, thought life is short, think about the meaning of existence. Hainan Airlines plane landing at Beijing airport that moment, I sent to crush a short message: I have landed in Beijing, I love you. Globalization and 2.0 times, we still need each other warm.
In fact, we can not leave Europe. In fact, none of us can do without.
