Title: Golden Eagle Post by: BONOVOX on December 19, 2012, 10:54:00 am 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! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE0Q904gtMI Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: Kilroy on December 19, 2012, 11:26:43 am The debates on the clip run 50/50 as to whether it's fake or not. I am leaning toward faked.
Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: tkaz on December 19, 2012, 11:31:13 am 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 Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: MaineT on December 19, 2012, 11:37:52 am It could be carried by an African swallow!!
Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: tkaz on December 19, 2012, 11:42:42 am It could be carried by an African swallow!! but not a European swallow Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: jholmgren on December 19, 2012, 11:43:07 am It could be carried by an African swallow!! Tim, Are you suggesting coconuts migrate??? Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: MaineT on December 19, 2012, 12:05:29 pm Tim, Are you suggesting coconuts migrate??? Not at all. They could be carried. Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: BONOVOX on December 19, 2012, 12:30:04 pm Never thought about fake on the interet. :glare: But the shadows of the bird look pretty legit.
I dunno.... I'm bored at work so I thought I would post. Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: Kilroy on December 19, 2012, 12:43:17 pm Not at all. They could be carried. What? A swallow carrying a coconut? !!!!! Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: tkaz on December 19, 2012, 12:53:40 pm 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 "

Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: BONOVOX on December 19, 2012, 02:37:37 pm 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!" Title: Re: Golden Eagle Post by: Kilroy on December 19, 2012, 03:02:48 pm 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? |
