No connection between ash clouds and the Airbus crash in Libya?

I’ve watched a special on the Brit Air flight that was disabled by volcanic ash over Indonesian Sea several decades ago, first highlighting this problem, and how the crew saved the plane by luck and determiation

very scary

Saw that episode. The skill of those pilots saved their collective butts. Luck...well yeah...they had a lot of that too. That episode is the reason I want to be no where near an ash cloud (or even a hint) in an airplane. I would rather walk or swim.
