Rain, Fog, Vog, and Smog... all in one day.

On this particular day, our helicopter flight witnessed a remarkable meteorological spectacle: a unusual mix of smog, rain, and a distant volcanic fog known as Vog. As we made our way back from Camp Hogad in Laguna to Metro Manila, we encountered a white out condition over Laguna lake. As we got closer to Manila, the city was hidden by smog, caused by a weather phenomenon known as Thermal Inversion. This particular phenomenon traps pollution near the ground, mainly due to the heavy rush hour traffic. At the same time, in Batangas Province, on the other side of the Taal volcano, Vog was rising from the sulfur dioxide that the volcano was spewing.

Thanks for the comment... yan din yong advantage ng modern technology ng Garmin glass cockpit, my synthetic vision na plus terrain avoidance pa on top of pilot experience. Agree that what happened to Kobe was tragic.
