Volcanic Ash Cloud Shuts Down High School Beat-down.


Iceland's Eyjafjallajokul volcano erupted in April, shutting down global travel for five days. It has caused sporadic disruptions since then, closing London's Heathrow and Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport — two of Europe's busiest hubs. It was a huge pain in the ass for millions of travellers, and continues to have ramifications.
Thanks to a strong westerly wind, the nasty clouds have settled over Bangus County, forcing the cancellation of the scheduled school yard fight outside the St Augustine High School’s shop room. The highly anticipated match between Kyle Donnelly and James Hands will now go down June 6 at 3 pm.
"When you get a big volcanic event it gets very, very busy and very, very stressful. These things can go on for weeks, or months — it can be a very crazy time to schedule a good beat-down" said Darryl Hall, the fight promoter who has had contact with his colleagues in London since Eyjafjallajokul's eruption.
