British pilot hits cow during emergency landingBuzz Up Send Email IM Share Digg Facebook Newsvine del.icio.us Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo! Bookmarks Print Wed Dec 17, 9:04 pm ETLONDON – A British pilot said he ran into an unusual hazard while making an emergency landing — a cow. Rob Wotton said he was trying to land his World War II-era Tiger Moth after the engine stalled just after takeoff southwest of London on Sept. 14. He was about to touch down in a field when the animal wandered into his way. Video of the event on YouTube shows the brown-and-white cow being knocked to the ground by the plane's lower left wing. The two-seater was damaged but landed safely. An accident report said the cow was "apparently uninjured." Wotton said he might paint a cow on the plane to mark the event. He says: "I have to say it is the first cow I have ever hit in 22 years' flying." ___ On the Net: Accident Report (PDF): http://tinyurl.com/4tlltn |
