Oral Roberts University Holds "Bald Eagle Day", Turns Out To Be Epic Fail

[Initech]

Really, the kind of fail that words cannot describe.

The eagle was one of two birds brought to the Christian school to celebrate Golden Eagle Day on Aug. 21, officials said.

“U-S-A! U-S-A!” the students chanted as the bald eagle swirled around the room.

But after one lap, the cheers turned into a gasps of horror as the bird — which was supposed to land on the arm of its trainer, Roger Wallace — soared straight for a window and smacked into the glass.

9. This one needs to be inside

According to the article, this eagle fell out of its nest after it hatched, breaking his foot and hip in the process, and was delivered to a raptor rescue center by someone who found him. His foot is fucked up for life so he can't be released to the wild.

2. The article explains that the eagle had successfully done several rehearsal flights

It doesn't say that between the rehearsals and the performance, someone told the eagle the Parable of the 900 Foot Jesus. The poor beast decided to escape the lunacy.

As the late great Sam Kinison once said, "yeah, right, Oral, take your medicine and you'll stop seeing these nine hundred foot Jesuses."

Were the rehearsals done with hundreds of morans screaming USA USA? Probably scared the shit out of the poor thing.
