    “cow that was tossed 30m up in the air”

    How hard do you have to hit a cow to knock it 30m into the air?

      Trains have a fuck ton of momentum, and this was an express train. It likely also had a cattle guard on the front which could explain the air it got.

      It’s like it was hit by a train!

      The average train in India is 24 coaches long, plus a loco and a guard van. Let’s say the loco is 100 tonnes and the coaches and van are 20 tonnes each. That’s 600 tonnes moving at around 100 km/hr. I can totally believe the cow flying that high.
