    Kingfisher Plane Hits Dog During Takeoff, Skids Off Runway

    Bloomberg:
    Kingfisher Plane Hits Dog on Bangalore Runway During Takeoff

    By Anand Krishnamoorthy

    March 28 (Bloomberg) -- A Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. aircraft hit a dog during takeoff at Bangalore's airport in southern India, causing the propeller plane's nose landing-gear to collapse.

    Two of the 25 passengers also suffered sprains while evacuating the plane after the incident yesterday, the airline said in an e-mailed statement late last night. The Avions de Transport Regional ATR 72-500 was flying to Hyderabad.

    How big was this dog to casue such damage? I've seen pictures of a King Air that hit a deer and he damage wasn't that great...Didn't a cow recently get hit by a passenger plane in India? Imagine the ATIS at those airports? "Various dogs and cows wondering around taxiway Alpha."
