Mt Agung Erupts
Not to forget the horrific 1989 experience of KLM 747 over Anchorage, losing all four engines, falling 3,000 meters, and causing USD 80 million in damage.
Good idea musta although that wouldn’t work if there is any ash on the runway. If the wind is blowing the wrong way the airport could have meters of ash on it.
Media are now reporting that the airport is now closed.

It’s a rough situation. The airlines don’t assist other than rebooking in the future, and I’ve spoken with the insurer who say they just call it a “travel inconvenience” which is limited to a $500 claim
This is just the first stages, wait till the lava starts running down the slopes and fire is spewing out.
Buses have reportedly been deployed to the airport and members of the Indonesian hotel association are giving guests an extra night free.

Insects buzzing around, and the occasional firework.
Pretty impressive presence up there above the little lights of civilization!

And what of the poor stranded schoolies..........let's all take a moment to pray that they have plenty of data to update Facebook/Snapchat/instagram/tinder/grinder/selfies and easy access to iPhone charging.

For those who are just making the best they can of it, I offer my empathy and best wishes.
For those doing the whingeing and whining, shut the F.... up. You knew what you were doing when you boarded the plane to go there.

Every tourist currently trapped on Bali (and they're really not trapped at all, there are ways out) went there knowing that there was a risk of this happening.

Volcanoes are controlled by the airlines. They are used to disrupt flights.

load 'em all into small boats and let them make their own way home................
LOL - lots of Indonesian boat skippers ready to do the trip 😂😂😂😂
Winds in DPS now from the west however at altitude (20K+) still from the north.
Does not bode well for opening Ngurah Rai but Lombok might be OK.
If forecasts are correct, by next Monday ash may even start to affect airports on Java
