Child-Snatching Eagle Video? Big Hoax By Students
The unusual sighting of the bird in a park, turned out to be computer-generated by some Canadian art students. In Laguna Niguel, however, our parks do have some unique attractions.
The video made by a group of college kids in Montreal, Canada, garnering 5 million views on YouTube on the first day of an eagle grabbing a small child in a park, is a fake, according to MSN.
Surprise, surprise, right?
