Cow falls from sky, barely misses couple
Posted by The Associated Press November 06, 2007 11:29AM

MANSON, Wash. -- A Chelan County fire chief says a couple were lucky they weren't killed by a cow that fell off a 200-foot cliff and smashed their minivan. District 5 Chief Arnold Baker says they missed being killed by a matter of inches Sunday as they drove on Highway 150 near Manson.

The 600-pound cow fell about 200 feet and landed on the hood of the minivan carrying Charles Everson Jr. and his wife Linda of Westland, Mich., who were in the area celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary. They were checked at Lake Chelan Community Hospital as a precaution.

The van was heavily damaged, including a broken windshield. Charles Everson says he kept repeating, "I don't believe this. I don't believe this." The year-old cow had been reported missing by a breeder. It was euthanized at the scene.

I'm not sure what is more amazing, the fact that the cow hit a minivan, the cliff wasn't fenced off, or the cow survived the 200ft fall Shocked

Sounds like someone made a big misteak.

I kind of wonder about the wording of the article. So, a cow fell directly from the sky onto a car?
To me that sounds like 90 degrees straight down. Ok, so maybe a cow might walk right off a 90 degree cliff. I don't imagine the cow took a running start at it Wink

so it must have fallen straight down. If that's so, the car must have been driving extremely close to the edge of the cliff.

It's more probable a cow fell off a cliff, tumbling down quite a bit and then crashed into the car(rather than landing directly on top of it). It is also very probable that I have nothing better to do at work today. Wink

Bet the couples friends gave them a RIBBING, about their TENDERIZED and WELL-DONE beef.

If anything, it enforces the mad cow scare which is making it difficult for other cows to enter ROK.

EDIT: Cheesey, YES, but I was beaten to the steaks are too high pun.

I heard it was the cow that jumped over the moon. Just didn't stick the landing.

The vehicle was udderly crushed.

What do you call cows raining down on people? Bovine judgement.

I reckon the cow in question was probably vactioning in Japan during the time he went missing from the farm and got the idea from this lady. Not being a perfectionist like most Japanese, the cow slightly missed.

Was the cow found with his hooves intact?
