The Golden Eagle is one of the best known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. It has a wingspan averaging over 2 m (7 ft) and up to 1m (3 ft) in body length.
It is said that the strength on its talons can crush a human skull with ease.

Anyone there knows if they just descend to the ground with it and eat it, or are they capable of lifting it whole?

Hi mauz, the golden eagle cannot make a flat takeoff with more than about 6 pounds. If it's grabbing prey off a hillside or cliff it can carry twice that weight and still be able to maintain altitude. However, with something as big as what we just saw in this video the eagle is basically acting as nothing more than a parachute, it can glide a bit but there's no way it will be able to stop it's descent.

Still impressive. They had several camera angles there so it must be shot at several different times in a location where these eagles are known to take goats.

I'm guessing it would smash it against the ground to kill it..?

It also depends on whether the golden eagle is african or european...

I always wonder how on earth they have the cameras so perfectly set up, for something that must be quite unpredictable!

Amazing footage nonetheless.
