“Airlines face a logistical nightmare.”

That’s what Barry Turner Woods has stated. Woods is a contributing editor of Airlines World.

It’s really a nightmare for airlines as they return to usual business. The flight may have return to space next week but airlines need more time to normalize its every schedule. People may think that flights can go back easily to business but that is not the case. There are reasons that need to be considered. Aside from arranging flight schedules, people need to become aware and patient for the flights that might get interrupted due to the sated challenge. Another thing is that there are also planes that have been stranded in some parts of the world that were also affected by the volcanic ashes that have spread in the air.

Airline companies don’t want to compromise the safety of their passengers the reason of extra safety measures are taken such as delaying some flights.

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruption has affected not only the country’s people but also the neighboring countries up to the aerial spaces. If the volcanic eruption will continue to explode, directing the ash that initial upward thrust, the plume that has scattered in UK and European airspace could also keep on intensifying.

Professor Jon Davidson of the University of Durham has said in the BBC News: “It’s the fact that the prevailing winds are driving the ash plume over the UK.”

Experts are facing difficulties in predicting the whether the volcanic eruption is strengthening or weakening. Professor Davidson stated that it is really difficult to examine how the Eyjafjallajokull volcano will act : “This eruption started on 20 March.” He added, “So in a sense it’s been erupting already for almost a month.

According to States Civil Protection Agency spokesman Alan Sandoval, the earthquake knocked out electricity and disrupted phone service in Mexicali, the capital of Baja California.
A magnitude of 4.7 to 5.4 aftershock s struck about an hour after the initial earthquake. The Baja residents were advised to evacuate buildings as a precaution but luckily, there was no reported damage.

Chandeliers of Skyscrapers in Los Angeles swayed with the initial earthquake. Erik Scott, the spokesman of city fire department sated that there was no damage come about in the place. The shaking was also felt in Phoenix,according to the Arizona Republic Newspaper.

According to USGS records, this latest earthquake that hit Mexico was the largest after the 7.6 magnitude temblor struck offshore of Colima in 2003. The last large earthquake destroyed 2,005 homes, killed 29 people and left about 10,000 homeless.

another report update from Baja California state Civil Protection Director Alfredo Escobedo said a man was killed when his home collapsed just outside of Mexicali. He said the other man was killed when he panicked as the ground shook, ran into the street and was struck by a car.

At least 100 people were injured, most of them struck by falling objects. At least 20 aftershocks were felt in the city, he said.

Power was out in virtually the entire city and the blackout was expected to last at least 14 hours, Escobedo said.

All 300 patients had to be evacuated from the Mexicali General Hospital to private clinics because the building had no electricity or water. But the emergency generators powering the private clinics might not last long and authorities might have to move patients to hospitals outside the city, he said.

At least 20 people were trapped in two stores when the electrical doors would not open but firefighters quickly freed them, Escobedo said. Authorities initially feared people were trapped in homes but Escobedo said that was not the case.
