I'm really impressed the bird actually got the kid off the ground. I bet he was thinking 'If I pull this off, I'll eat for days'.

I'm equally impressed that the person filming actually stopped filming and ran to help rather than trying to get the latest prize for America's stupidest home videos or whatever. There is some intelligence left in the world. Who'd have thought?
 
Posted this on the other thread. It's a fake. In super slo-mo versions you can see the baby continuing to rise after the eagle has let go.

But it's a really good fake!
 
Looked pretty real to me. There are anomolies that occur in real videos also when reduced to slo-mo. We lost a 5 lb 3 y/o yorkie dog to a big hawk when I lived in WV. Bird flew away with it up the street and dropped it in the middle of the road from about 40 feet up. Circled back down for it before I got there and flew off to the woods with it. Our other yorkie got picked up and quickly dropped but survived. It would never step out into the open ever again and just start trembling when it neared the door.
