Well, you might as well watch a video of a couple bald eagles stuck in a storm drain today.

The sorry affair happened in Orlando, Florida, and the the whole thing was captured by WFAA-TV on Facebook Live. Just a typical day in the United States in 2016.

One eagle got caught, and its mate stuck around in solidarity. It's unclear how it happened, so we can only assume why. Eagles aren't having a great year.
