Video: Eagle takes down drone

A drone flown by Melbourne Aerial Video photographer Adam Lancaster in Australia was filming when a wedge-tailed eagle knocked it out of the sky. According to Lancaster, the eagle wasn't hurt.

"She was massive and used talons to 'punch' the drone out of the sky. Hung around overhead, so I got a really good look. Eagle's health was my main concern."

Lancaster added, "If you see a bird of prey while flying. Land. I have added this to my operating procedure."
