The Taung Child, a very famous find of a child Austrolapithecus Africanus, was killed in such a manner. An eagle grabbed it by the head, and punched it's claws through the skull.
Haast's Eagle, a bird native to New Zealand was hunted to extinction because of it would do the same thing to the native inhabitants.
Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

Lord of the Rings had eagles carrying small people in it. I blame LotR for glamorising child-snatching eagles. All you people reading LotR and watching the films should be ashamed!
On the other hand, all you people thankful that this child was safe have obviously never been a hungry eagle. That you can even think to deprive an eagle of a well-deserved meal is shameful, utterly shameful! Are you all so heartless?
Then again, ha, kid got owned!

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

If that thing tried it on my niece(only one of them, the eagle can take the other brats) There would be one less eagle in the world.
While firsts its funny, It is kinda sad because its a kid. I hope the fall didnt hurt him that much, and thank goodness he was wearing a heavy jacket the eagle could grab onto.
But hell, The kid know has an awesome story to tell when he grows up "I was kidnapped by an eagle when i was young"
I may be a bad person, but I laughed my ass off at that video. (And yes, I have kids.)

Was anyone else rooting for the eagle to successfully make the snatch and fly?

It's not a question of the strength with which he grips it; it's a simple question of weight ratios. An 8 pound bird could not carry a 10 pound toddler.

Actually, the bird's weight really doesn't factor into it. It's a question of the cargo weight vs. the amount of lift that can be generated by the wings.
