Eagle Eyed

UPDATE #2  Okay, as many hinted, that school in Montreal that hosts annual "hoax" contest has admitted that this was the work of three clever students in the 3D/Animation department.

Earlier:  If you missed, this video went viral late last night--showing a huge Golden Eagle snatching a tiny kid off the ground in a park in Montreal (the caption says) and attempting to carry him/her off.  Happy ending:  Looks like the bird nearly did it but the kid probably proved a little too heavy.  But a nice warning for parents everywhere.   Update #1:  Some, such as at Storyful,  claiming this is a fake though hard to see how they pulled that off. Here's a news report but based on just one person dissecting it.  Now other sites are rounding up reasons it's a fake.  That may very well be true but most of the objections very spotty.  I understand the Today Show aired. Stay tuned.
