Barely a day after a SpiceJet plane hit a stray buffalo on the runway , security guards and airport staff were once again caught unawares on Friday evening when two cows trespassed into the airport area and leisurely walked through, grazing on grass.
INCREDIBLE INDIA - a popular refrain from Indian tourism Department.

Google: airplane deer hits. The first bunch all take place in the good old US of A. My favorite is the jet hitting a heard at KCLT.

Incredible India - Buffalo on runway: Inspection of walls around all airports

A day after 146 people on board a Delhi-bound SpiceJet flight had a narrow escape when a buffalo hit their aircraft at Surat as it was about to take off, the aviation ministry has decided to despatch teams to all airports across the country for detailed inspections of perimeter walls. Barbed wires fenced will be replaced by boundarywalls at all airports to prevent animals straying inside airports for grazing within next three months.
A high-level meeting held by aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju Pusapati here Friday discussed the issue of
stray ani mals at airports, a common occurrence in India. About the latest incident at Surat, the ministry admitted: “Timely action by the pilot of the aircraft averted a mishap.“ Both the DGCA and Airports Authority of India are investigating this serious incident involving the airline's Boeing 737.
