Man has always in a constant search of ways which can tame his surroundings according to his comforts.Nature has been munificent in the way it has given us ennumerable gifts,but as if it was not enough, man has always tried to come up with the technology that can keep him par with the nature.Be it the invention as simple as bulb or as complex as hadron collider,they have helped him to make his surroundings supportive.
The recent crippling of air travels in Europe due to Icelandic volcanoe that erupted has left human generation thinking.All they could do was to wait for the sky to get clear of the ash thick enough to have the rotors jammed.The bustling airports have added the chaos, throwing light on the inadequacy of the European response to the unfamiliar disaster.The volcanoe ash is thick enough & can’t be penetrated thus the only option left is roadways.Officials are trying to come up with the maps of roads in order to help the passengers.There have been till now no cases in which an aeroplane has to be flied in the volcanoe ashes except one which took place in 1989 where the pilot was able to get the engines stated just before they were to crash.It is said that no thrust must be added to the dying engine in such a case as it only thickens the ashes and jams the rotor.
This incident has crippled the whole EU’s economy as well has highlighted the shortcomings of airways over roadways such as time consuming checks,constantly decreasing leg space,hefty charges on weights exceeding the limits etc.So, on the part of the scientists community it becomes essential to come up with the technology which can combat with disasters like this in future and provide much more control in taming the situations
