I just don't understand why he plays the cheesy inspiration music at the end when replaying an event that almost ended his child's life.

Also because it's not necessarily a bad thing to look back at near-tragedies and laugh. Good coping mechanism for one thing, and lightens the mood when ultimately nothing bad happened.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

This isn't his child. He's just some random guy seeing that. Although it may or may not be a fake.

I call fake on the video. Something about it just looks off.

Actually, apart from slow moting to hell, there's nothing in that so called proof. It's the free point of every "fake-revealer" who just slow mo and then tells : "I told you".
I was more referring to this : http://blogue.centrenad.com/2012/12/19/centre-nad-reassures-montrealers-no-danger-of-being-snatched-by-a-royal-eagle/?lang=en

You mean the so-called proof where the people who made it admit to doing it?

I mean what you linked, with the video in slow motion. There's nothing in it (and it isn't the same people, if that's what you're saying).

Yeah... I was just dropping by to post a similar link, talking about how a special effects class admitted to faking the video :P

Wandering to the front door in the dark, finding it wide open and crashing against the wall from a strong wind and rain billowing forth. That door has a really crappy latch, but still made me scrutinise the empty kitchen for a bit until a cat dropped out of the hole in the ceiling and I almost shat a brick.

Then I fed the beast some chicken. Not sure if I'm reinforcing this behaviour or not. Keeps me on my toes I guess.

Somebody on an IRC channel I frequent linked this. >_>
The image tags are suitably terrifying, and the fact it isn't loading makes it MORE terryfing.

EDIT: Uh, Vorthon? I don't think that site is, SFW.
