Turn on your TV's and go to CNN!!
 
There is the craziest thing going on right now over Colorado! Turn on your TV's and go to CNN, it's live. A 6 year old climbed into a homemade helium "balloon" and untied the tether, and is now floating at around 7000 feet, at the mercy of the wind!

What I want to know is, where the hell were the parents when this happened, or maybe they were part of it? Publicity stunt maybe?

_paralyzed_ 10.15.2009 03:25 PM

they said there are conflicting stories and they are unsure if a boy is really in there.

If it's true I feel for the family, you can't live off breathing helium, that boy is toast.

The rescuers are gonna need to free fall and parachute to save the little shit ?

Somebody just told me on AIM that the boys name is Falcon? Not sure if that is true, but if it is, well maybe he can match the performance of the bird if his balloon pops. If he reaches 100MPH in a free fall, his name will be very fitting. :rofl: (Sorry, that comment is probably really mean, but I had to say it...)



EDIT: According to CNN he is descending now.

Krawlin 10.15.2009 03:38 PM

It's on the ground! Why arent they opening the door? :neutral:

The balloon is down on the ground now.

Krawlin 10.15.2009 03:42 PM

Now they think he fell out...

t9dragon 10.15.2009 03:43 PM

The boy was not inside of the balloon.

suicideneil 10.15.2009 04:03 PM

There is no spoon....

bruce750i 10.15.2009 04:47 PM

Maybe the kid didn't know he had lifted off and went to get out and fell.

JThiessen 10.15.2009 05:04 PM

No, he's hiding somewhere, still scared to death about his old man is going to do to him for letting the balloon go. Either that or this whole thing is publicity stunt - any family that goes on Wife Swap has an ADD disorder....
