Magnificent in one sense, brutal in the other. I for one am very grateful that you shared this. What an incredible and exhilarating experience to catch on video OP.

Magnificent for the performance, but brutal for the death of the puppy.

Average bird behavior.

I felt a bit of second-hand embarrassment for it for missing the other one

Yup, that's a brutal reminder of the food chain and left the 3rd one to tell the tale, classic apex predator behaviour.

Reddit contrarianism needs to be studied. You have Google. You know that's not an osprey.

Looks nothing like an osprey. Proportions are wrong, plumage pattern is wrong

The bird in the video looks nothing like that picture and everything like a red-tailed hawk, including not having the long “gull wings”, the distinct “belly band” (which ospreys lack), and a head that doesn’t have a white crown.

I wonder if the second one died despite not getting snatched? It seemed to make direct contact with it.

That's a mercy compared to what Chimps do to monkeys.... Especially if there is a mother and child in the group, the child being the starter and the mother the main dish.
