A bald eagle landed on an Andover Fire Department's aerial truck during the department's 9/11 memorial Tuesday.

The department's captain, Fire Chief Jerry Streich, filmed the eagle's landing while the department was conducting a 9/11 tribute display. They posted it to Facebook where the symbolism of the national emblem of the United States landing on a fire truck commemorating the 9/11 terror attacks that left 343 firefighters dead, part of the 2,983 people who lost their lives that day was not lost on people. The video quickly went viral, getting more than 700,000 views and over 40,000 shares in just a few hours

Love these raptors. LOVE THEM.

They will make a nest in one area and if it’s not destroyed they will stay at that same nest for years, they pair bond for life too.

Was on my way north of Columbus, Ohio this morning listening to some general at the Pentagon giving a speech during the 9/11 memorial there. The SECOND he finished his speech, a bald eagle swooped down over me. Cool deal :-)

The Eagle has landed ...

Well, as long as he doesn’t display an American flag I guess it’s OK.

The truck it landed on was part of an American flag display.
