I saw a news report last night and a reporter was talking to a
Pilot that had gone though a Volcanic dust cloud some years ago
and all 4 engines stopped working due to the volcanic dust reheating
and sticking to the turbine blades...
Luckily he was able to land safely...

Incredibly shit. Im stuck in france
Yes, that can block the engines, not just cause re-melting, also cause, basically, volcanic ashes are in good part composed from vetrified stone powder ..... is like throw a bag of sandpaper compound into the rolling parts ..... also, it can sand and opacize the glasses of the windows in a minute or less, at that speed ..... not the maximum of the comfort, for a pilot
