The Volcanic Ash Cloud Over Romania
If you are like me, I have been concerned about Mia’s Children after hearing about the Icelandic volcano ash cloud covering Europe. In fact, we have neighbors who went to the Ukraine on a mission trip and have been delayed coming home. So, here is a short update on how Bucharest and the rest of Romania is fairing.
The English/Romanian newspaper, NINE O’CLOCK, reported Monday morning that Romanian air space would remain closed until noon. Romanian Air space was closed Saturday at 6 p.m. as the cloud of ash covered Romanian territory by 9 p.m., at an altitude of 6 to 10,000 metres.
“The cloud of volcanic ash is currently covering the entire Romanian territory, but there is no excess in maximum admissible polluting substances recorded and there are no problems as regards air quality, so we have no special recommendations for the population,” Prime Minister Boc reported.
Time will tell if the sky will be clear enough for flights out of Romania to land in other airports across Europe.
I have requested a first hand account from our on-sight reporter at Mia’s Children.
