So today’s transportation news brings us - a Lion Air plane hitting a [cow](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/07/plane-hits-cow_n_3718790.html) on the runway & - a [shark](http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/world/something-fishy-about-shark-on-subway/story-fnihsmjt-1226693187478) on a NYC subway What will the evening commute bring us? :eek: pointless but not exactly mundane ---

I feel bad for the guy that lost the shark. “You said you had a shark?” “Yeah” "Well? Where is it? “D’oh!” ---

Perhaps it is an early push for the _Sharknado 2_ movie, which is set to start filming in New York. 🆒 ---

Well, I landed a [sailplane](http://www.eastcarolinasoaring.org/images/Soaring_040309_7.jpg) in a cow pasture once, but there weren’t any cows there that day. That’s the best I got. ---

It’s better to do that in a [biplane](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCk4ywD_yyM) The best part is that the passenger doesn’t notice but the pilot does a (delayed) look back. You can almost see her brain registering the question, “Did I really just hit a cow?” Next up: [Tractor-trailernado](http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/52666105). Tractor trailer _fully_ airborne before exploding.
