On Tuesday, a bald eagle landed on a Minnesota display honoring those who had lost their lives in the 9/11 terror attacks 17 years ago. The majestic and rare bird landed on top of a fire truck that had parked on an overpass in Minneapolis.

There, firefighters had gathered, trucks and all, to pay a tribute to the thousands lives that were lost in the 2001 attacks. They parked their trucks on top of an overpass in Coon Rapids, a suburb in northern Minneapolis, when the bird made its landing.

Fire Chief Jerry Streich of the Andover Fire Department captured the bald eagle sitting on top of one of the aerial trucks on the bridge and posted it to Facebook.
