It seems not everyone is enamored with drones. Case in point, in this video filmmaker Patrick Pircher was using his DJI Phantom 3 to capture some great video of the surrounding landscape when two eagles decided to attack his small aircraft. They did manage to take it down, but it appears that the drone survived the assault. The camera that it was carrying managed to capture some memorable footage in the process.

it is very bad and harmful for the animals and birds because they get injured and died while fighting.
Amazing video; not sure why the film maker paired it with such an incredibly irritating piece of music.
Have to admit, I kind of feel the same way about the music too.
If they knew that place is eagles territory and habitate, why they still flying a drone? Certainly the eagles will attack or think that's a prey or another bird try to invade him. Using technology should be wise in a certain place.. just saying.
