**BART** · 10-15-2009, 12:09 PM

the

frack?

**BART** · 10-15-2009, 12:10 PM

that thing is hauling

**Jordann** · 10-15-2009, 12:15 PM

wtff....i feel like and asshole watching buts it looks wild.

**RUM_RUNNER** · 10-15-2009, 12:16 PM

Im scared for that kid and his family. I doubt he'll make it. He is probably laying in his own vomit, freezing to death if he hasnt already done so

**a_pla5tic_bag** · 10-15-2009, 12:18 PM

All hope towards the kid, but how the hell does that happen? Why was there an experimental aircraft at someones house, moreover, how was a six year old able to not only gain access, but launch it successfully?

**The Dtrick** · 10-15-2009, 12:20 PM

parents probs sent him up on time out.

edit, on a serious note i really hope the kid gets out safe, maybe they could send a sky diver?

**CustomKO** · 10-15-2009, 12:21 PM

EDIT no just a mile and a half

**Colon** · 10-15-2009, 12:21 PM

CNN's feed has commentary. I don't think the kid's gonna make it. They say the basket is so thin it won't take any impact well.

I heard it was homemade.

**Jim Gordon** · 10-15-2009, 12:26 PM

The thing is deflating. Hope it comes down slow enough.

**The Dtrick** · 10-15-2009, 12:27 PM

i would hate to be the kid, i would hate even more to be the parents right now

**VISITOR** · 10-15-2009, 12:28 PM

Amazing- what a crazy situation

**a_pla5tic_bag** · 10-15-2009, 12:29 PM

Yeah they said it was homemade, but what, are the parents like aliens or something making UFO shaped balloons? Or do they work for NASA or the airforce or something, or was this just some crazy side project?

Yeah I saw it was deflating, but they said it could take awhile, but when it runs out of helium (or at least i able to be influenced by gravity) he's gonna have a hard fall toward the ground.

Yeah to me it looks like a helium ballon, but the news says it's a hot air ballon.

**CustomKO** · 10-15-2009, 12:37 PM

no sign of FALCON

**Colon** · 10-15-2009, 12:38 PM

Nice landing but they haven't opened it yet.

**CustomKO** · 10-15-2009, 12:38 PM

10$ hes in the backyard

I hope you're right, because now they are saying he may not be in it.

**Chrith** · 10-15-2009, 12:39 PM

he just wanted to get a little high

**Colon** · 10-15-2009, 12:39 PM

Hope he didn't fall out.

**Mapdash** · 10-15-2009, 12:40 PM

I missed it. So did he live?

**RUM_RUNNER** · 10-15-2009, 12:41 PM

He wasnt in the balloon

**a_pla5tic_bag** · 10-15-2009, 12:46 PM

Shit, not only was he not in the balloon, but people searched his house and he wasn't there either. If he fell out how could they miss that. I'm watching it right now, he may just be around the neighborhood with a friend or something and not know they think he's missing.

**BART** · 10-15-2009, 12:48 PM

holy shit, they just showed a pic of the family and i remember watching this family on a wife swap episode.

**RUM_RUNNER** · 10-15-2009, 12:49 PM

Is the crime scene tape necessary?

**Colon** · 10-15-2009, 12:51 PM

About half way through the flight the reporter said an under sheriff reported the kid may have fallen out. They wouldn't say that out of the blue, it's possible he fell out before the helo started filming.
