A special spirit day at Oral Roberts University took a tragicomical turn last week when a bald eagle released into the school's Christ Chapel by a professional handler crashed into a window just as students began chanting "USA! USA!"
The eagle was unharmed, but many of the students could be heard screaming at the sight of America's national animal wiping out in metaphorical fashion.
The bird had apparently become disoriented from the crowd's patriotic hollering.
"It was a bit shocking to see, but we're thankful the eagle is OK," an ORU spokeswoman told Tulsa World.

(15,189 posts)But I thought the eagle hit the window from the outside. What a bunch of dumb asses bringing it indoors and expecting it to fly where you want it too. Birds fly to the light DUH! I hope the bird at least got a chance to shit on one of those dumb asses.
