Go the French!

Fantastic! In the midst of the madness of the volcanic ash cloud grounding all flights around Europe, people are struggling to get back home in a rather Amazing Race-style way. They are taking all forms of land and sea transport: rental cars, taxis, trains, buses, cruise ships, cargo ships etc. Enter the French train employees. They have gone on strike! Awesome! Don't ever let natural disasters get in the way of your industrial action!
