this is insane! He actually gets the little guy off the ground! Good job he was well padded, those claws would of ripped his back apart.
What an amazing bird though!

If it's not real its one of the best fakes I've seen (other than avitar).

Range as clearly they never became extinct!

Have a closer look. You may notice something is not quite right. The footage is pretty bad quality because it is zoomed in.

I couldnt spot anything wrong in the zoomed in slowed down version. Like you I am a skeptic and have been googling for info. Even Snopes has nothing yet.

[SUP][/SUP]It looks a bit strange when he drops the kid. It looks like the eagle let's go of the kid and the kid drops then goes up then falls properly. But the shadows look pretty much spot on for most of it. Although when the eagle grabs the kid the shadow looks a bit off. It is really hard to tell because the original video is such poor quality and there is so much camera shake. I'm not completely convinced it is real but I'm not completely convinced it's fake, if that makes sense.

Have faith...being gullible and a believer makes life far more interesting
