Two bald eagles got stuck in a Florida storm sewer on Thursday creating a visual metaphor that's perhaps too painful for many Americans during a week of political unrest.

The birds were apparently fighting in the air over Orange County when they fell from the sky and got wedged in a storm drain along a road.

Video shows the eagles awkwardly stuck in the drain, frozen until one was able to free itself and fly away. The other eagle — a female — fell into the sewer after its foe escaped.

According to Orlando's WFTV-TV, the bird was rescued from the drain about 90 minutes after she had initially become stuck. She reportedly suffered injuries to her leg, chest and beak.
