"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?

Maybe we should steer this conversation away from the puns and back on track.
Edit: Extra pun

First assume a spherical cow in a frictionless vacuum...

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.

Tldr: the cow was launched by a train and flew 30 meters.
Hoe the cow gained more impetus than the train itself isn't explained.
Seeing a cow is a holy animal in India I'm wondering about the karmic balance of this situation...
