Posted by Chris FinnieOf course, in hindsight, it's always possible to scrutinise whether reactions to certain situations were adequate. But sometimes people are too quick to start pointing fingers. There isn't always a choice between right and wrong. Oftentimes, one can only try to pursue the path that is less wrong. Anyway, I like the report for it's enterprising attitude.
This article offers some ideas of what might happen (especially in Europe) if eruptions from the volcano in Iceland continue.
An interesting overview of the economic impact of the Icelandic eruption, and the possible future effects.
One more reminder of how closely we are interlinked and how, because of this, we are ever more vulnerable to an interruption of our technical support systems.

This is quality journalism which shows different viewpoints. The topic is extremely relevant to the world today as the volcanic eruption could have grave consequences. This article was informative as it gave in depth insight into how different companies are dealing with the natural crisis.

Yes–It is thorough and looks at many aspects of the economical damage from the volcano cloud. It is not very enterprising, however, as it does not stray from familiar topics such as the global recession and the damage to tourism.

The writer seems to want to make it look apocalyptic, keeps telling how the global economy is rouble, but gives no scientific fact about the volcano eruption. He doesnt explain what might happen if plane flew through volcano ashes, he fails to explain for how long the ashes will travel the atmosphere, and finallly refuses to give hope. He doesn't refer to the buildng of a new kind of plane, with a device that would fight volcano ashes.
I believe that this one showed all aspects and was informative. They used elevated language to show the story and they had relevant videos to watch in addition to the article.
