World Record Eagle Flight From World's Tallest Building

Eagle cam captures stunning footage of an imperial eagle descending over 2,700 ft (830 m) from the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai.

Loved how you could see him/her fold his/her wings in and then drop like a bullet to his trainer... very cool.

On Saturday, 14th March, an eagle was fitted with a camera . . . and "Eaglecam"
and took flight from the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai. Here is the film.
What surprises me is how smooth the flight is with no camera shake whatsoever.
Knowing the camera was there I am sure he took the scenic route.
