Oral Roberts University students gasped and shrieked Wednesday morning when a bald eagle that was part of a chapel service failed to fly to its trainer, crashed into a window at Christ Chapel on campus and collapsed to the floor.

WHY have an eagle flying around indoors for people's amusement?
I'm sure it was rescued from the wild & rehabilitated and is now used in shows by its "trainer." Whatever.
Just.... WHY?

Too bad these people insisted on having them indoors. Especially for whatever ceremony, or whatever they were having.
