Im not one to post about things I see on Youtube... but this was just too amazing not to.

It's an eagle trying to fly away with a kid.  And it almost does!

The debates on the clip run 50/50  as to whether it's fake or not.  I am leaning toward faked.

Here's a few of the arguments...http://gawker.com/5969701/all-the-reasons-that-baby+snatching-eagle-video-is-fake

I was pretty amazed when I first watched it, but as with all things on the internet these days, just wait a few for people to figure out its real/fake

Never thought about fake on the interet. glare  But the shadows of the bird look pretty legit.

Stolen from the internet, but too funny not to share "Sad the video was fake. Now the only thing snatching precious things away from Canadian families is Gary Bettman "

Just got back in the office, and the sports radio show was talking about this clip... turns out it is a fake made by some Montreal students for a class.

"But I saw it on the internet!! IT must be true!"

There were just too many things  that just seemed wrong. If my kid was almost abducted by an eagle, I'd be holding him like there was no tomorrow, not leave him where he was dropped on the ground. And honestly, leave a baby 15 -20 feet behind you  and take your eyes off him digging through a bag?

And is bad I thought an American would have kept filming and not  run to the help?
