The 1st Thread/The Break For 4/19/10: The Volcano Has Erupted (Or Didn't??)

Well, it has finally happened. The volcano in Iceland has erupted ladies and gentlemen.

Updated: But there are reports that it didn't erupt:

The Icelandic Meteorological Office on Monday said the Hekla volcano in the southern part of the country had not erupted.

Live footage from the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service initially appeared to show images from the Hekla volcano with a huge plume of smoke rising from it. Later, the service said the camera was accidentally pointed at the Eyjafjallajökull glacier - which continues to erupt and has caused major air travel disruptions across Europe.

An official with the Icelandic Meteorological Office in Reykjavik said he was aware of media reports, but said they were not accurate. “I’m sitting here in the middle of the Icelandic Met Office and we’ve seen nothing to indicate an eruption,” he said.

Oh well to that, so that's good news there then that it didn't.
