In order to not disrupt traffic, he went on; the local airport authorities had allowed smaller planes to depart from the airport.
The Lion Air airplane had to cancel its take off after its back wheel hit a cow. Two of its passengers had broken their legs because they jumped out of the plane once it stopped.(dic)
