]]> What: Aserca Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-82 en route from Caracas to Santo Domingo
Where: Santo Domingo
When: Mar 7th 2012, 8:45
Who: 125 passengers and 6 crew
Why: While landing at Santo Domingo in Tachira, the plane struck a number of cows which were on the runway.

The cows were killed. Luis Anaya, owner of the pasture which is located north of the runway, was arrested. The fence was cut.

The plane was damaged and had to be towed off the runway.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Popular Power for Air and Water Transport (Mpptaa) launched an investigation.

Disgruntled passengers had already waited two hours to get on the plane and had no idea what was going on when the plane struck cows. Flight attendants immediately opened the emergency door to evacuate the jet. Passengers were frightened, shoving, trying to get out and jump down the slides that opened instantly.

The crew directed passengers to walk to the terminal.
