This is not far from where I live. Local news is all over it,

The basket holding the kid was not found where the balloon landed....
Man I hope this doesnt turn into a tragedy!!![no]

**Teomaderm** · 10-16-2009, 05:08 AM

Oh he is land gumbo im sure of it.

**EspnaConCam** · 10-16-2009, 06:15 AM

Wow this is unusual

**Quick$bux** · 10-16-2009, 06:16 AM

Ahh man this is rather terrible,
i´m pretty sure the boy is smoosh

Let´s just hope im wrong.

**Brareevor** · 10-16-2009, 07:05 AM

I live in Ft. Collins. Everyone here is talking about it. I hope the boy is found safe somewhere, but it doesn't look good.

**asivisepo** · 10-16-2009, 07:09 AM

Just heard on the radio, according to Sky News, the boy has been found alive.

**Ferkilort** · 10-16-2009, 07:12 AM

I have been following this....... But somehow the whole story seems incredibly unlikely.

Do you remember a Myth-busters where they used balloons to float a child? It took an incredible volume of gas. An amount I think it would be awfully hard to match by that already half-collapsed looking saucer. (while it was in the air)

It's......... Bordering on the impossible, is what my instincts are saying, but it will certainly not be the first time I am wrong! [yes]

Continuing to watch closely.......

Edit: Oopps, just saw bungles post. Now lets see what the story is.

2nd Edit: Safe at home!!! [rofl]

Do they know what/how it happened?

**Erawise** · 10-16-2009, 07:12 AM

global hoax

he was hiding

**asivisepo** · 10-16-2009, 07:14 AM

Do they know what/how it happened?

That's all they said on the radio (it's just a phone in show). I'm not actually watching the TV.

Unconfirmed reports that he was found hiding in a box.

**asivisepo** · 10-16-2009, 07:20 AM

Apparently he was hiding in his attic.

Oh little mutherf****

Edit: at least he's alright though.

Until the media leave and his parents have 'a word' with him and his brothers!

**asivisepo** · 10-19-2009, 05:34 AM

Apparently it was all a stunt to produce publicity for them to appear on a reality TV programme.

**EspnaConCam** · 10-19-2009, 06:41 AM

Oh FFS, I have conflicting feelings about this. On the one hand I hope they get slapped with a humongous fine and possibly prison (assuming they prove it's true) but on the other hand I can't help thinking about the kids and how that'd impact their futures[no]

**Erawise** · 10-19-2009, 06:59 AM

they are going to get totally bummed over that, especially if the FAA decide they want to press charges for Airspace violations...

**hhynmtrxcp** · 10-19-2009, 04:48 PM

And so they should.

after all the great effort he forgot to teach his son how to lie? [rofl]

Don't you think having these people as parents is already impacting enough?
