Volcano Eruption Strands Thousands at Jakarta Airport

More than 20,000 passengers are stranded at Indonesia's main airport near Jakarta after a volcano eruption sent ash into the airspace, forcing flight suspensions. The eruption caused widespread disruption to air travel in the region.

🐿️ This is a classic case of nature reminding us that no matter how advanced our technology, a cloud of volcanic ash can still shut down an entire airport and strand thousands.
