London, England (CNN) -- Volcanic ash from Iceland severely disrupted air traffic across Europe for a second day on Friday, causing the cancellation of some 17,000 flights, according to the intergovernmental body that manages European air travel.

Eurocontrol said it expected around 11,000 flights to take place Friday, in contrast to the normal 28,000. The impact will last at least another 24 hours, Eurocontrol said Friday morning.

The ash has spread to parts of northern and eastern Europe and has forced the closure of some of Europe's busiest airports, causing more disruption to worldwide air travel than 9/11.

I saw Al Roker there on The Today Show today. He was only a few miles from the volcano and you see the air is thick is ash. Also the heat has caused an iceberg to melt and there is flooding in the area. The Earth burps and cleans itself up.
