Eldorado Posted September 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) As Minnesota fire crews gathered to honor and remember the victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a majestic American symbol, the bald eagle, swooped in to join the ceremony. The eagle's surprise landing while firefighters held their annual 9/11 remembrance on a highway overpass was captured Tuesday morning on Facebook Live video by Andover Fire Chief Jerry Streich. “Isn’t that unbelievable?” said Streich in the video. “This eagle just landed on the aerial while we’re doing the 9/11 memorial – phenomenal.” Pics and video: http://www.14news.com/2018/09/12/unbelievable-bald-eagle-lands-fire-truck-during-tribute/ Edited September 12, 2018 by Eldorado 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davros of Skaro Posted September 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Humans have a long history of superstition with birds. "It's unbelievable!" Yeah. Ok. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bald eagle is a fish eating buzzard which gets smacked around by crows and robins. It smelled carrion. That's why I hate seeing them on Pan-Indian art. They were never sacred to any tribe. Our sacred eagle is the golden eagle. That's actually a pure predator. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted September 12, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Wow, I think under the circumstances it was kinda special in a way that such a majestic bird as the Bald Eagle payed tribute. It seems rather fitting. I guess like most things in life, it depends on the way you look at it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be Irish on the Indian side somewhere cause it's not from the Jowetts.

Ireland is pretty much a bureaucratic mess but, never heard that amount of money for pay roll. It could literally run our Country here. That story of Shawn's is tragic, but I assume its an all too often event. Bloody disgusting. For a Country that holds it's army in such esteem and it's veterans in such high regard, you'd think The People would be more p***ed off about it, because apparently the Government doesn't seen to care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted September 14, 2018 #24 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The story currently is that the money is not missing, they just don't know where it is because they can't balance the accounts ... ~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how bloody big is the defense budget? Edited September 14, 2018 by danydandan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
