COON RAPIDS, MN — A fire chief in Minnesota captured a special moment on the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. On Tuesday, an eagle landed on top of an aerial truck, which was set up to display the American flag in remembrance of the lives lost on 9/11.
“Isn’t that unbelievable?” Andover Fire Chief Jerry Streich said on a video, which has been shared more than 34,000 times. “This eagle just landed on the aerial while we’re doing the 9/11 memorial. Phenomenal.”
“We’re all set up here, so nobody forgets,” Streich added.
