Bald Eagle Drops Dead Cat Thru NC Woman's WIndshield

NORTH CAROLINA WOMAN STUNNED WHEN BALD EAGLE DROPPED DEAD CAT THRU WINDSHIELD

Well, the holidays are over at last, as is all that driving so many people endured. I’m one of them, and closed the books on this year’s holiday driving just last night. Like all drives can be, my drive last night was fraught with some hazards. Mountain snow this time, coupled with several salt spraying plows in the slow lane I had to pass, with the concern each time the car would be damaged or the windshield cracked on the way by. Hey, it happens. But last night I got lucky. No cracks or dings from salt, or falling branches, or random animals in the road or in the air. But a woman in NC (North Carolina)had the most insane experience when a bald eagle literally dropped a dead cat thru her car’s windshield.

WOMAN DRIVER SUSTAINED NO INJURIES, BUT WAS COVERED IN GLASS AND CAT GUTS

Fortunately, 28-year-old Melissa Schlarb wasn’t hurt, either by the cat with broken glass, or by losing control of her car. She was driving to work along a highway near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in western North Carolina last November and saw a bald eagle flying above. She said, “I’m not used to seeing them there, and I was like ‘Wow, that’s amazing. I realized it had something with it. Once I realized it was a cat that it had, it barely had a hold on it, it dropped it right on my windshield. It sounded like a bomb went off.” Who wouldn’t lose their mind if this happened to them?

FORTUNATELY ANOTHER DRIVER SAW THE WHOLE BALD EAGLE DROPPING DEAD CAT ORDEAL

Fortunately, a man driving behind her saw the whole thing and pulled over to help. Schlarb then called 911 to report the incident. She told dispatch, “You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield. It absolutely shattered my windshield.” The dispatcher let out a laugh and replied, “OK. I do believe you, honestly. Oh my goodness. Let’s see. I’ve heard crazier.” If there’s crazier than that, I’m not sure I want to know. But experts say the cat was likely scavenged by the bald eagle and it lost its grip. North Carolina now has more than 200 nesting pairs of the American iconic bird.

Local cats might want to take cover. Well, and North Carolina drivers, too. You can hear the crazy 911 call here:
