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.
It lookes like it's starting to collapse as if flies along...
Wow!
------------
Oh,
The balloon landed and there is no one inside....

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.Originally Posted by RICHARD

Sheriff's dept is searching for the child. Watchers saw something fall from the balloon at one point in its 42 mile trip. Praying it wasn't the boy.

CNN is reporting now that the boy's brothers saw him climb into the box.

Looks and smells pretty fishy now.
Speculation is that it was a publicity stunt of some kind, and the parents were in on it. On Larry King last night, the boy said he "did it for the show". They were on GMA this morning too, and the father just isn't acting like someone who went thru such a traumatic experience, and said he's appalled that people think it was a hoax. He just acted strange, to say the least.
The family qualifies as "attention seekers" - been on Wife Swap twice. They are facing a whole lot of questions by the authorities.
I hope they have to pay the cost of yesterday's fiasco if it proves that it was indeed a hoax. Just putting that Black Hawk in the air is a costly venture, not to mention all the rest of what transpired.

LEARNING TO FLY by Tom Petty:
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
The town lit up the world got still
Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn
Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I started out for God knows where
But I guess Ill know when I get there
Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down
Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down
Im learning to fly
Im learning to fly

I heard a commentary on news radio today that said the father was developing the balloon as an alternative to heavy commuter traffic -- not sure if that is the truth or if the commentator was being facetious, though.
I didn't know you could be on Wife Swap more than once!
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

LOL ... it's Colorado, Richard. Come on, you're from California, you understand.The kid's name is Falcon.(
I remember one of those "You know you're from ..." jokes that said, "You know you're from Colorado when you ask your husband to pick up Granola on the way home from work ... and he stops at the daycare center."
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.
