I just came into the house and popped on the tube.
Some 6 year old kid took his family's helium balloon out for a ride.
The kid's name is Falcon.:confused::rolleyes::D
It lookes like it's starting to collapse as if flies along...
Wow!
------------
Oh,
The balloon landed and there is no one inside....:eek::(
:(
Balloon is DOWN (softly) and searched - NO Kid on board!

They now don't know if he was even in it to start with..
Hopefully he wasn't.
Something is really hinky about this story.
If the structure is open inside, like a hot air balloon? That kid would have been exposed to the helium and he would have been in a little trouble from the start.
If the kid did fall, this is a real tragedy, but something doesn't sit right with me.....:(
It's not open, and there was a box/basket attached to bottom when it took off, but not there when it landed. They're speculating that it fell off with the boy in it.Quote:

CNN is reporting now that the boy's brothers saw him climb into the box.
Thanks for the info.....
what a tragedy.
:(
The Falcon has landed..
Boy found at home safe and sound!!!

I love it.
The news head on FOX had it right.
The little effer probably was hiding- he was hiding, in a garage attic space.
I remember going out to play when I pulled off some evil at home.
You get hungry, tired and have to go pee...you have to go home sometime.
But,
WILL HE GET "GROUNDED"?
-----------------------
Every one at the house is looking up in the air when they hear a voice ask, "What you all looking at?" at their feet.
Sure enough...It's the kid YOU THOUGHT took the family balloon out for a spin.
I was so relieved to hear that he was found safe and sound, too.
What I want to know is, WHY is this balloon left around somewhere where the kids might just be able to get into it and it might just possibly be able to come loose from its moorings?
They have balloons at kiddie parties all the time.....;)Quote:

As soon as the last news truck would have left, my mom would have kicked the living shiat out of me or my brothers...:D:eek::)
When I hear stories like this I always wish it was the early 60's and it happened to my family....Just to see how my mom would react.:eek:
way too funny.
Apparently the parents were building a new type of aircraft.
Thank GOD this little guy is ok!
But - did he cause it to take off?
The parents might need to be 'grounded' too.
LOL ... it's Colorado, Richard. Come on, you're from California, you understand.Quote:

I can poke fun legitimately, I used to live there.
Im sorry i dont mean to be a prude,But where were they when he could have gotten in the balloon?As far as im concerned,at 6 years old they too can be just as fast as a 2 year old...They need to watch a little more careful,He could have been in that ballon and fallen and instead of happy to have found him they could be planning a funeral,So much of this has gone on in my area lately it makes me sick.
This past March a three year old Boy drowned,his Grandmother had fallen asleep and out the door he went,Its so tragic.
