Whenever I see a story about an Indonesian volcano I think of the story of the British Airways 747 that flew through the ash cloud of just such a volcano and the ash caused all four engines to shut down.IIRC the engines were out for quite a while and the story went that some passengers were on their knees praying in the aisles.
