Indonesian Travel Affected by Volcanic Ash.
SESAY: Well a travel is a mess across Indonesia. Thanks for the erupting volcano.</s>VAUSE: Metrologist Derek Van Dam joins us now from the CNN. Hey, Derek you throw your family through the volcano? What happened?</s>DEREK VAN DAM, AMS METEOROLOGIST: No, not in the volcano, they're being impacted by the volcanic ash. Let's clear that up.</s>VAUSE: I'm sorry, I misunderstood.</s>DAM: Yeah. They're actually stuck in an island to the Southern East of Bali, a small island called Sumba. And like so many others their waiting for that domestic flights to flight into the Denpasar of the international airport, so they can fly internationally back home. So many other people -- over 700 people or flights rather have been stranded at the Nigeria Raleigh International Airport in Denpasar over the seven sections of Bali. Look at the satellite imagery and you can see Mount Rinjani, the volcano responsible for this ash drifting across this region but lately the winds have been a little bit more favorable, more of a north to north east to the direction across this area but it just too close for comfort for the airline industry and that is why they have cancelled so many flights in Denpasar's airport continues to remain close. So why it's so dangerous for airline industries? Here is a jet engine, volcanic ash, all of this is pulverize rock and glass and eventually the ash - particles melt forming a molten glass that eventually solidifies and cools on the turbine blades of an engine. That will restrict the airflow eventually causing catastrophic failure for a jetliner. So very, very dangerous. Now John and Isha, think about these, airplanes fly typically between 45 and 50,000 feet in the air (ph). Well that's not the only thing we're going to talk about of that altitude. Take a look at this rare, red Aurora Borealis. If you can roll the video, you'll see something phenomenal not -- I mean, people get to see in their lifetime.
