Aeroplane 2: Cows 0

Spotted by Paul Lockett in The Aviation Herald:

An Aserca Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-82, registration YV348T performing flight R7-764 from Caracas to Santo Domingo (Venezuela)* with 125 passengers and 6 crew, struck two cows on the runway after landing on Santo Domingo Airport's runway 30.

The aircraft rolled out safely, no injuries occurred to occupants of the aircraft, both cows were killed, the aircraft received damage to the left main gear and left hand flaps. Passengers disembarked onto the runway, the aircraft needed to be towed to the apron.

Passengers reported that after deplaning they saw two dead cows on the runway, the left main gear and flaps showed blood.


* I'm sure that regular readers of The Aviation Herald will grasp the significance of all these finer details.
