The point is, it's important to have a defense against drones. That's why the Dutch National Police force have started training eagles to take down drones and look awesome doing it. These birds of prey are the perfect weapon to take down a drone because of their super strong talons and the fact that they can fly.

The only problem so far is that the drone blades could still injure the eagles which means someday our future may include armored eagles.

Skier Marcel Hirscher had some luck and great timing with that close-call.

Until you figure out that it's a drone, and a prank.

Dance party!
