"That is the craziest thing I've ever seen."

SWAIN COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A driver in rural North Carolina was left in shock when a bald eagle dropped a cat onto her car's windshield, leaving a massive hole.
The woman was not injured but understandably shaken by the incident.
According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the event occurred shortly after 8 a.m. on Wednesday, on US-74 in Swain County.
"You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield. It absolutely shattered my windshield," the woman told a 911 operator.
"I do believe you, honestly," the operator responded.
"I had a witness who was like, 'That is the craziest thing I've ever seen," the caller said.
The cat, unfortunately, did not survive the fall.
