Wow! I realize the U.S. (especially the state of Arizona) is decidedly insular, but you'd think something with that much international impact would at least have been MENTIONED on Wednesday's "Nightly News"!!! We got plenty of rehashing of political issues and the state's "budget crisis", along with local crime news. Nary a WORD about Icelandic volcanoes! Interesting that the news story mentions the effects of an 1821 eruption lasting for two years - that was before jet aircraft. How might a similar situation affect worldwide air travel, now?
