Again. >> it's deja vu. the same volcano erupted in 1821 and we're following the script. 1821 it lasted 13 months. off and on for 13 months. just remember nearby is another volcano, which is much bigger. if that volcano is set off we could repeat 1783 when one-quarter of the population of iceland died of starvation. >> we could have issues much bigger than simply air traffic. >> let's hope it doesn't come to that. it's unlikely but possible. in the past one volcano triggered another. there's 35 active volcanoes in iceland. >> wow, okay. you also say ice is the key here. >> everyone forget, fol...
