Michelle Childers of Idaho was impaled by a tree branch that crashed through the window of the truck she was sitting in. Childers and her husband were driving through a mountain range at the time of the incident, it took an hour before they reached a lodge where an ambulance and helicopter came to their rescue.

The branch that went through Childers neck measured 13-inches long and was a few inches thick. Childers had to undergo a six-hour-long operation to remove the branch.

I read this as "Friggin' Owl" so I read what you posted, wondering what an owl had to do with this story.

OMG! I read the headline a few times but didn't open the news story!

I read frigging owl.

Me too. I hate owls.

I was wondering about the owl as well. Jeeeze. Random acts of limb violence.

Can she be considered an amputee now because she had a limb removed?

LOL @ potato.
