ABSOLUTE FUCKING GUDGEON

This looks about right. There's something about being upside-down then flipped right-side-up while drinking that fucks your poo poo up, even if it's not much booze. There's video footage of me at a July 4th BBQ a few years ago that's pretty much the same - I was being held upside-down by two dudes while drinking, and as soon as I get flipped rightside-up I ragdoll. Luckily I was caught instead of hitting the ground. Ten minutes and a glass of water later and I was fine. But still, uh. Don't do that I guess. Lesson Learned.

On the one hand, I really don't like brake checking. It's really dangerous because exactly this thing can happen.

On the other hand, giving yourself some stopping distance is for preventing this exact thing in a situation where the braking would be necessary.

I didn't even notice that the first time through. I'm hoping it's because he's pulling to the shoulder so he can stop and help, but he's probably just being a dick.

Clearly he's just passing the car on the right lane and once he has enough distance, he changed lanes.

I wouldn't help simply because it's not safe for a number of reasons (center median, possible altercation). Just drive away and if you're calm and feel safe call the police and report the accident anonymously. I'm just glad the rear end in a top hat tailgating didn't go into the other lane as it's obvious they weren't really in control of their vehicle at the time.

Don't know what that goose thought, going after a bird of prey like that, but yeah...that's how it would end. It's almost funny until you realize the eagle/hawk is going to take its head off in a few seconds.

That bird was dead as soon as the eagle grabbed its head incredibly lucky. The amount of gripping force in a bird of prey's talons is, well, it's way more than you think. Anytime you see a bird of prey on somebody's arm, remember that the leather glove they're wearing is no protection at all if the bird decides to snap down on their arm- it would break instantly. The only reason it doesn't happen is because birds don't get pissed off at the perch they happen to be sitting on.

I though this was BS so I looked it up. Eagles can generate up to 1,000psi with their talons. 1,700psi will break your femur so yeah a forearm is probably going to break.

Roman authors recorded that the people of northern Europe, particularly Britain and Germany, drank unprocessed milk.

Don't their talons also lock like a ratchet when they latch onto something? Or is that a hawk and/or falcon thing?

Not physically, i.e. there aren't serrations on the claws that would prevent them from unclenching. But they're strong as hell and stubborn to boot, so there's no real difference.

This video is simultaneously hilarious, sad and amazing. It's amazing to watch the eagle dive bomb then latch on. It's hilarious to watch it rodeo that goat, but then sad cause it probably died.

This one is just down right funny though. Eagles be dicks, yo.

I witnessed something similar a few years ago I wish I caught on video. I saw a bald eagle on approach like in that video, swoop down and grab two big talons full of a small halibut carcas on the beach. Well the halibut was half buried in the sand and when the eagle got ahold of it it just pivoted like a hinge and got swung into the ground so drat hard. The eagle took a good tumble and then looked around almost to see if anyone saw his mistake, he flew off a minute later no worse for wear.

I just Googled, and according the Alaska Fish & Game it's a myth, there's no "lock" and they can drop prey at any time. They're just super stubborn as you said.
