A Boeing BA aircraft smashed into a buffalo while preparing to takeoff from a runway in western India on Thursday evening, raising questions about airport security.
The aircraft, part of Indian budget carrier SpiceJet fleet, had 146 people on board when it collided with the animal that had wandered into Surat airport in Gujarat.
The collision damaged one of the twin engines of the 737-800 jet, grounded the plane and created alarm among security agencies who questioned how such a large animal could have got through the airport's perimeter fence and approached the runway undetected.
