Operation Eagle Attack was a codename during World War 2 for a series of German air attacks against the British Air force (RAF), battles later knows as The Battle of Britain.
Of course, the image above has nothing to do with World War 2 or German air raids. It’s just a picture of a very grumpy eagle giving an oriental dude a lesson in aerial supremacy which he will never forget.
Unfortunately a bird, believed to be a house martin, was killed in the making of this clip.
This happened in the Australian Open in 2002, where tennis players Julien Boutter and Arnaud Clement were playing a doubles semi-final against Michael Llodra and Fabrice Santoro. At one point, Llodra struck a powerful forehand and the ball flew directly into the bird, instantly killing it. Llodra ran over to it in order to administrate mouth-to-mouth, but it was already to late. The only thing that remained doing was giving the bird it’s last rites, which Llodra promptly did, being joined in the instant funeral by the other 3 players.
