Holy crap!

Wow, that's crazy. I'm glad the child is okay.

And people complain today's kids are too fat.

If that was a skinny kid, well ...

You do make a good point though.

That is the craziest crap I have ever seen.

Perfect word Tom - the video is fake. It's just more of that crazy Canadian NEA propaganda.

That was weird...it didn't look fake to me. Poor kid. A hawk almost snatched my younger cousin once in AZ. My auntie just happened to look out the window and came out wielding a broom, swinging and screaming.

Really?! Wow. That is very convincing. Why the heck can't they do that in movies?!

When it's slowed-down I guess it's easier to tell. My mom used to scare me with threats of 'child hawks' when I was a kid, I am going to send this to her and tell her to be careful the next time she's out with my nieces and nephews.

My first thought was that it was fake. The bird seemed to swoop in WAY too fast. That part looked unreal to me

[johnnystorm]

FAKED....They showed this tonight on Inside Edition...slowed down and closeup, the kid's shadow & the bird's shadow are different, and you can see the kid literally floating apart from the eagle's claws. Plus, an eagle has like 5" razor sharp claws...that kid's back would have been shredded.

Surprised no one mentioned that the kid's shadow disappears in some frames. Not a good job of editing and fixing.
