The photos are a great way to record history, but I feel awful for the people! In all the pics they look like they are standing around helpless. Even the one of the bulldozer shovelling the ash shows you just how much there is to get rid of, and how long it will take. All comes to a halt...there are no flights, kids can't play in the playgrounds, people can't drive their cars. It's the devastation of nature. Beautiful in its own way, but deadly. :(

Agree!

The sadest: they can do nothing! The ash will fall down...
