[DENZILDON]

That thing is going fast!:eek:

[GQBalla]

man this kid could be dead

[gretz]

they took the cartoon "up" too seriously

[beyond_ban]

CRAZY... i wish they would show it touch down live.

[DENZILDON]

it seems to be loosing altitude now.

[n1zm0]

the kid has obviously watched the procedures on how to let it go and 'fly' it, untie it and hop into the bottom and zip it up or whatever.

he is going to have some explaining to do... or just some milk and cookies lol, its @ 500ft now, i guess they're cutting the heli live feed when i gets closer for obvious reasons. hopefully the kid makes it.

[legendboy]

nobody feels the slightest bit bad for this little guy? :thumbsdow

[DENZILDON]

touchdown

[Dj_Stylz]

He Just landed haha. But wow where is the kid?

[beyond_ban]

Wow, it landed SOFT. They said they were not gonna show it... :dunno:

[eglove]

the kid is not with the balloon now that it's landed!

that's sad :(

i wonder if he just rickrolled everyone, or if he's splattered on a road somewhere from falling

[barmanjay]

no kids so far

[JfuckinC]

no one is getting out?!?!

[hampstor]

poor kid... stupid parents.

It's like leaving the keys to your brand new car in easy reach of your kids. wtf did they think was going to happen?

Edit: shit, it looks like no one was inside it... hopefully he didn't fall out and die

[barmanjay]

:( :( :(

[beyond_ban]

WTF, no kid? Publicity stunt? Or he fell out?

[n1zm0]

there was supposed to be a bucket underneath, shit.. kid could be anywhere

[TDFTW]

Kids not in it

[Dj_Stylz]

:( :(

[eglove]

i hope they don't find him splattered somewhere

[ApexDrift]

kids not home and not in the balloon this is messed up

[masoncgy]

I wonder if the kid is hiding somewhere, scared he's in trouble...

[SScott]

this is fucked, how do we not know where the kid went

[J NRG]

Yeah was wondering where the kid was supposed to be, I guess in a bucket, hopefully he untied the balloon and ran off somewhere

+1

[GQBalla]

thats f'd

[2EFNFAST]

I bet the kid and his brother set this up as a hoax - claim he's in there, get everybody panicked, then, oh look, he fell out just as the balloon took off and is fine.

[Z_Fan]

Hopefully he didn't fall and die.

That'd be not good at all.

[Sugarphreak]

....

[masoncgy]

The kid is hiding in the woods or something... that's what 6 year olds do when they do something stupid...

I lit a grass fire when I was about that age... and that's what I did... went and hid out in the forest for a few hours. lol

[Z_Fan]

I'm hoping that is what happened. But the kid's brother says he was in it. Crazy.

[2EFNFAST]

[stevieo]

what if the balloon accidently the whole thing?

[toastgremlin]

Apparently, the kid's dad runs http://www.thepsyiencedetectives.com/ and has been on Wife Swap before.

There was also something going around about how they called the news media before 911, so I'm wondering if this isn't some kind of hoax to drum up business.

Either way, I'm probably going to get carded from now on to buy helium.

Hope the kid's ok, if he actually was on this thing.

[xxviet]

wtf..first they make spiderman, then they make batman begins, Now captain falcon's child hood

[GQBalla]

ohhh,

the plot thickens.

i remember watching that part when the family contacts the media first and i was thinking who would do such a thing.

:rofl: :rofl:

On another note, I hope this is a prank or something. That would be terrible for the parents to find the kid splattered on some road.

Wonder what the point was on building that thing anyways??

[n1zm0]

from what i read i guess the father is saying something along the lines of it being for weather research purposes, as he's a storm chaser or w/e, also that the balloon was never intended to carry humans i guess of any size, it just wouldn't take off.

so there is probably a 6 year old hiding in the woods somewhere wetting his pants cause he knows he's gonna get in shit for letting his dad's oversized party balloon fly away

I LOL'd :rofl:

[toastgremlin]

Apparently the parents have said there's supposed to be a multicoloured basket of some kind attached to it, so the cops are wandering along the flightpath looking for one.

CNN is interviewing a "corporate balloon pilot" right now.

Still pretty sure the entire thing is a hoax.

[pyroza]

Update: boy was found alive in the attic of his home

That family successfully trolled millions of people

[masoncgy]

He's been found alive.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33330516/ns/us_news-life/

Surprise, surprise.

[hampstor]

glad he's ok but I wonder what the bill will be from the police dept & everyone else involved in the search. :drama:

[GQBalla]

at least the kids alive

[Type_B]

Not sure if anyone on the first page read it right. Its says the boy was hiding in the attic the whole time since the ballon launched.
personality i think 2 days would really suck for me specially if i was so young, cause mostly id like to move around, plus why would i go inside a balloon when im afraid of heights. lol So no up up and away little falcon

The link on first page was an evolving story. It changed quite a few times through out the hours.

[bituerbo]

After I got the dimensions of the foil I ran the calculations, the max that balloon could lift would be something like 45lbs... no way could it have reached 8000 feet with a 6-year old and plywood box slung underneath. By the time I came back on here the boy's been found.

[Z_Fan]

Glad he was OK. I think he probably set it loose and then figured he'd better hide so when Daddy discovered it was gone he wouldn't get an ass whooping!

Do you think they will get a bill and charged with public mischief?

If it can be proven they didn't do this for attention (i.e., they didn't tell the boy to hide in the attic for several hours) and they legitimately though he was up there, how can you force them to foot any bill of the rescue effort? :dunno:

[thetransporter]

if these retards where i dont know lets say 'moslem' they would be in trouble. i dont get this story.

Busted - listen to the kid - he says "but you guys said we did this for a show" when they're questioning him :rofl:

[deaftone]

^ I heard on the tv that they were on that stupid Wife Swap show not too long ago.

they were; twice :rofl:

[st184]

Holy shit, why haven't the news channels capitalized on that clip? There is a ratings boost right there for you. They had 100+ emergency crew workers chasing a balloon around. You can totally tell the guilt when the mother thought they were getting busted too with her "no". What a bunch of self centered pricks.

**Edit**http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxtFXtiUbbw

[TorqueDog]

I wish they had asked the boy what he was doing, and he just started singing "Never Gonna Give You Up".

[D'z Nutz]

bwaha that kid's going back into the attic for ruining their scam :rofl:

[GQBalla]

Troubles brewing

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33340547/ns/us_news-life//

[V6-BoI]

Hah, well if they wanted media attention, the whole thing being a scam would probably give them more attention than if it wasn't.

[Rat Fink]

[Weapon_R]

Confirmed!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33340547/?GT1=43001

[deaftone]

I really thought it was a honest mistake when they were on the news the first night crying. Then when they were on Larry King, the little kid dimed them out and then proceeded to puke on live tv :rofl:

What a waste of time.

[banned3x]

Great he can do a reality show in jail.

[kaput]

.

[AudiPWR]

I work out of denver 4 days a week and live in Fort Collins, a few blocks away from this family. I saw that balloon flying when I was commuting to work, I had no idea what the fuck it was. I thought it was a UFO at first glance. Then flicked the radio on and heard that some boy was stuck in it lol.

[npham]

I hope that guy gets some jail time. I wonder if his two appearances on Wife Swap and wasting thousands of dollars worth is the tricks he'll be turning in jail to stay alive.

Supposedly the neighbor. Sounds like a good place to grow up.

Fucking media. What a pussy, guy grabs him from behind and won't take him from the front :rofl:

[banned3x]

that guy was funny!!! now that guy should have a reality tv show!!!

[AudiPWR]

Haha I fucking love Fort Collins, 1/3+ of their population is ALL in College, everyone resorts in a fight here simply because there is so much adolecent testosterone floating around.
Now thatt dude should of just dummied the guy in the yellow on Camera, he obviously could of got off on SD.

Anyone hear him say: "help me out guys" and the one dude "tries" to hold the neighbour and gave up, and that's when the back jumper got punched.
