a point of view from aviation lady

It is sound a little bit late to discuss about the volcanic ashes that appeared to happened in Iceland and affected some of the European countries's sky.

Basically there was once upon a time around 1982, the big airplane Boeing 747 flew from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Perth, Australia, it passing through eruption from volcano Gelanggung, Indonesia. Imagine the same ashes as from the Iceland volcano (can't remember the name actually,really hard to pronounce it) and that time, all the 4 engines from that airplane lost thrust (dead engine) from 36 000 feet to 12,500 feet (around 11 km to 3.81km above sea level). In god willing, the pilot finally managed to restart the engines and landed safely. Further investigation been made and the pilot reported that they witness sparks at the windscreen like abrasive sand paper and the whole body of the aircraft especially at the edges parts being eroded. It is something like severe damage to the body and may fallen apart.

I think all of you get an idea when your house in renovation process, our eyes caught something like dirts, small particle of unknown things and the next thing you will realize, your eyes changed to red..it hurts isn't it?
