Indonesia Krakatoa eruption
The Anak Krakatau volcano in Indonesia erupted, leading to air traffic disruptions, the closure of 8 airports, the cancellation and delay of over 1,550 flights, affecting 170,000 travelers. Despite the strength of the explosions and ash plumes reaching 50,000 feet, there were no human casualties thanks to the residential areas being situated away from the crater. The eruption lasted for 25 hours before subsiding, with activity diminishing and stabilization being achieved. Currently, damage assessments are underway, and commercial flights are gradually resuming while volcanic activity remains monitored.
