Not watched much news lately Hxtr, never seen anything about the fishing boat but i think the possible Volcano in Iceland is very credible, The Mirror never made it up in 2010 when most of Northern Europe was grounded for quite a while, maybe all that Volcanic dust in the air that was a danger to 1000's of flights was just a figment of our imagination, i remember having a summer with very little sunshine that was blamed on the shit that was still floating about in the air and many people losing holidays because of cancelled flights.
