ORLANDO, FLA. (WSVN) - Crews in Orlando rescued two bald eagles that appeared to be stuck in a storm drain, Thursday afternoon.
The discovery of the animals prompted road closures as rescuers awaited Florida Fish and Wildlife authorities.
One eagle was freed by crews and flew away, but the other fell into the storm drain. Rescuers were able to free the second eagle from the drain shortly afterward.
