What do you think NSG? How could this have been prevented?

I would say raise the fence a bit higher now, maybe get rid of some of the larger rocks from the enclosure too.

The elephant probably knew they (yes, they) where attacking humans. That an innocent got caught in the crossfire is just more of the same sad and tragic narrative of history.

Tragic but it seems weird that if this elephant normally believes this way no one at the zoo thought to do something to protect the public. If it didn't normally behave this way, then it seems weird it would just start chucking rocks one day.

According to one of OPs articles, it looks like authorities and bystanders are calling it a freak accident. The elephant may have just been playing, and happened to throw the rock in a bad direction. Why throw a rock? Why do humans throw rocks, or Frisbees, or various sports balls? Probably same reason.
I guess I'd assumed it was some sort of intentional attack, since the description initially brought to mind stories of zookeepers and the like getting foot stomped by captive elephants. This might not be the case here, however.
