Froch stuck in England by Volcanic ash

[porkypara]

Was anyone on here going over for this?

Are they having to rethink their travel plans now?

Kesslers promoters have said Froch wont use it as an excuse because they will personally fly him over in a helicopter if they have to.

Cant see the logic there though, the reason planes arent flying is because the ash will clog the engines. Do they think helicopters fly just by will

Not an expert in the subject but helicopters fly a lot lower than planes so it might go under the ash.

Well, whatever they decide he should get going now.

Is the fight this week or next?

This Saturday

Hell he could train on the trip over.

Or just get really fucking high and stare at all the scenery.

Or even candy flip, that would be intense.

*shudder*

Don't think thats the case, I believe the ash is problematic for planes because it will get sucked through the turbines and corrode them or something. Chopper blades I doubt would be affected, there are all kinds of coniditions that Helicopters can fly in which planes can't.

A quick google search leads me to conclude that helicoptors were grounded too, with the exception of air and sea rescue, but that they can fly in some cases becuase of the lower altitude.

There is no way a helicoptor would happily fly through an ash cloud though imo. They would keep well under.

Isn't the entire airspace closed though? I know it is over Norway I would imagine that extends to Denmark.

Probably but I expect Bear Grylls or some other rich toff air enthusiast is planning to pass through it in a pedal powered flying bike or an air balloon just to set a world record for the longest one man flight through a volcanic dust cloud.

Helicopters have engines too. Its the ash clogging up the air filters and stuff.....

Froch and his team will now be panicking

Kesslers team will be loving it

[Cressa121]

Some flights are back on tomorrow...he might travel then. It shouldn't stop the fight happening though if there's other ways to get there? I mean, Barcelona are driving to Milan for their Champions League game next week, surely Froch can get there someway if he can't fly

[Kirkland Laing]

It's only Denmark, it's not like he has to get to Australia. You can drive there in 18 hours on a bus, he can train and sleep on a bus or something. It's no big deal.

Thanks chief, I was so sure Helicopters ran by a winch with a 1500000:1 ratio and some gargantuan man giving it stink the whole way through Who is that Tyson is sparring with in your sigi there, anyone well known? He does a good job to keep his guard up for that upper.

You certainly couldn't drive the whole way I'm no geography whiz but I'm pretty sure the UK is a giant island.

John Cleese just hired a Taxi to drive from Oslo to Brussels and he is 70 years old!

That will cost him a fortune, would have been cheaper to fly.
