Flights Grounded as Anak Krakatau Erupts, Ash Clouds Drift Over Java

Indonesia grounded flights after the Anak Krakatau volcano erupted, sending ash clouds to altitudes of about 20,000–50,000 feet that drifted toward Jakarta, Banten, West Java and surrounding waters; travelers were urged to check airline status.
