A herd of cows wandered onto a railroad line at the wrong time Tuesday, and it did not end well.
A 6,700-foot Norfolk Southern train plowed through the herd in the darkness about 6 a.m., a statement from the Clark County, Ohio, sheriff's office said.
The train, which was traveling at 38 mph, killed 20 cows, the sheriff's office said. The value of the animals was not known, and the owner was not named.
The accident, which happened about 40 miles west of Columbus, disabled the train's lead locomotive and blocked a rural highway for three hours, the statement said. No humans were injured.
This is just udder bull!!
This story is bull.
Too bad they didn't moooo-ove.
the front of that train is probably pretty Mooshy.
Guess they should have moooooooved.
In India, this would be cause for at LEAST one day of mourning.
And riots.
mmm.... pretendersized beef
Slow news day!?!
steaks anyone? the train crew ate GOOD that night!
CNN got a bum steer with this article.
Nice!
And the train got a steer's bum.
typical misleading media story.
the cows knew what they were doing.
People are unbelievable callous. Those cows are living creatures, just like you and me and they do feel pain.
No!!! Those cows WERE living creatures, WERE.
...not when a train turns their brains in to something resembling hominy and snot
not anymore.
Don't you mean unbelievably COWllous?
It's too bad they didn't survive to be dismembered in a slaughterhouse. Oops, sorry. Was that reality too callous for you?
Muriel? I didn't know 85 year old ladies knew how to use computers.
I understand the owner is about 20 cow-less!
I don't thing they are like me. First, I can type on a keyboard and cows can't. Second, I don't stand around all day and eat grass. I eat COWS!!!
The saddest part is that the owner of the cows was never named. Lazy parents...
I don't care who you are......thet's funny!
cow tipping to a new level?
Cow bowling!
3 hours, it takes a long time to cook all of that beef. Sounds like a BBQ will be happening shortly
