Mount Redoubt erupted 6 times.On the 22 - 23 March 2009, Mt Redoubt erupted 6 times, spewing ash 60,000 feet up in the air. Mt. Redoubt had erupted several times before, most notably for five months in late 1989 through 1990, when its ash stopped the engines of a KLM jet in mid-flight. The plane dropped two miles before its crew could reactivate the engines. The jagged particles that constitute ash from volcanoes such as Mt. Redoubt do more than shred machinery. They can tear into eyes and skin and cause breathing problems.
