I do know how overwhelming a Haliaeetus eagle can be very close up. I

me fall over the cliff edge.

I'd have to say you're very lucky it wasn't a hungry golden. You

Would that have bee a first? A human taken by an eagle?

I meant dragged/pushed off the cliff like the goats. Probably wouldn't be very hard for one to do. Also, if golden eagles can take goats & wolves, babies & young children doesn't seem like any stretch of the imagination. Besides, they look at us all the same way, not that they can really help it(lack of facial muscles)

could've ended up like these unfortunate fellas: http://

Seen this footage before. Where was this taken?

No idea, I just know the original version I saw had [I think] a Spanish narrator.
