How Volcanic Ash Can Kill An Airplane

I heard a story yesterday (NPR?) about a 747 pilot who lost all four engines about 20 years ago after flying into a plume of ash. Fortunately for all aboard, the pilots were able to restart them, after descending in a glide 20,000 feet.
It's stories like this that make me all that more fond of terra firma, no matter the conveyance. |
