Animals' Sixth Sense Breaking Down

Early today at the airport in Aceh, Indonesia, an cargo plane hit a water buffalo that had strayed onto the runway.

Evidently, the water buffalo's sixth sense foreshadowing impending doom did not apply to oncoming aircraft, just earthquakes and tsunamis.

I looked tirelessly for a photo of the water buffalo in question, but all I could find was this photo of a similar beast who met his maker in the isolated village of Lhoknga in northwest Indonesia.
