Lion Air Jet Skids Off Runway After Hitting Cows
Three cows idling on an airport runway in Gorontalo caused a Lion Air jet carrying 110 people to skid off of the landing strip, a report issued Wednesday said.
Iwan Permadi, the pilot of the plane, told the Antara news agency that as he was landing on the runway he saw animals on it.
The plane, which was arriving in Gorontalo from Jakarta, proceeded to slide off the landing strip while touching down at Jalaluddin airport at around 9:00 p.m. on Sunday.
“There were three cows passing on the runway while the landing procedure was being conducted,” Iwan said.
“Fortunately, the ground near the runway was wet and muddy, and the airplane was able to come to a stop. The atmosphere in the cabin was under control, although there was some smoke present.”
No casualties were reported after the incident, but Iwan added that
some of the passengers exited through the emergency doors and windows before the pilot gave official instructions to evacuate the airplane which led to two passengers spraining their legs.
The cows, however, were killed.
“When we tried to turn the aircraft around, it turned out that there was a cow carcass blocking the left wheel,” he said.
Iwan said that he had previously seen cows near the grounds of other airports, but never on a runway.
