Runaway Helium balloon

[Freitag]

Breaking story - a 6 year old kid just floated away in a runaway hot air balloon. He's all alone.

[A.J.]

Can you hear me Major Tom?

[FrogSlayer]

It is a helium balloon

[RhinoinMN]

I am not watching this and won't. I wonder if a professional could parachute to the kid?

Just thinking out loud.

[Furtherman]

Doesn't look good for this kid.

[JerseyRich]

I can't wait for the Larry King interview with the parents...



Larry: Did you two know that your son would one day crawl into this balloon and float away into the air?

Parents: No.

Larry: Anderson...what's coming up next on 360?

[jennysmurf]

I'm watching it on CNN. He's up to about 40mph.

[jennysmurf]

Now they think the boy may have fallen out. Oh man.

[disneyspy]

im sure a 6 year old knows how to close a door,i just hope he didnt freeze to death

[Furtherman]

He may have already fallen out.

[FrogSlayer]

well I guess it looks like the aircraft "works" Hell of a test flight

[epo]

I'm watching streaming video online.....and I CANT TURN AWAY!

[EliSnow]

im sure a 6 year old knows how to close a door,i just hope he didnt freeze to death

What if he couldn't close the door because the incline of the floor of the compartment? If the door is facing the ground, he may not want to go near it.

[EliSnow]

The kid has a brother who saw him get into the balloon. The brother's going to be screwed up about this for awhile too.

[FrogSlayer]

I'm watching streaming video online.....and I CANT TURN AWAY!

I cant either and I have stuff to do. Gripping story

[disneyspy]

i have to go check on some dogs,cant leave my tv either

[epo]

I cant either and I have stuff to do. Gripping story

Me too. I HAVE A SHITLOAD OF WORK TO DO, YET CAN'T TURN AWAY!

[EliSnow]

I'm watching streaming video online.....and I CANT TURN AWAY!

I turned off the video but am listening to CNN on XM radio.

They have an expert who thinks that the way the balloon is floating, there is very little of a payload on it, and it suggests the boy is not on it.

[dino_electropolis]

It's amazing the thing was able to get off the ground considering the size of this kids balls.

[FrogSlayer]

the kid probably weighs about 50 pounds, I think it could go either way.

[dino_electropolis]

I turned off the video but am listening to CNN on XM radio.

There's already an expert on an experimental machine? Damn science is fast!

Yea, it was just tipping almost vertical to the ground.

i heard this too, and the 6 yr old's bro saw him fall out, if so, where the heck is he?

[EliSnow]

i heard this too, and the 6 yr old's bro saw him fall out, if so, where the heck is he?

If he didn't fall out right away, his body is somewhere.

[jennysmurf]

The male newscaster on CNN is kinda ticking me off.

[RhinoinMN]

There's already an expert on an experimental machine? Damn science is fast!

I was thinking the same thing.

[disneyspy]

The male newscaster on CNN is kinda ticking me off.

the chick is hot tho

[ozzie]

Dunno if the stream I'm watching is really live, but it seems to be almost 1/3 deflated.

I'm hoping this is another story where it turns out the kid was hiding in the barn.

[FrogSlayer]

It looks to me (not an expert on experimental aircraft) that there is some weight in the comparment, if not it should be rolling a little more violently.

[EliSnow]

It's touched down?

[disneyspy]

this thing has deffinately lost alot of helium

[RhinoinMN]

Dunno if the stream I'm watching is really live, but it seems to be almost 1/3 deflated.

I'm hoping this is another story where it turns out the kid was hiding in the barn.

Yeah, best case scenario is the kid is responsible for releasing his dad's contraption and is hiding cuz he is scared.

[red_red_red]

If he didn't fall out right away, his body is somewhere.
they keep saying his older brother saw him fall out b4 it got high off of the ground. fucking news always reporting misinformation, i don't know what to think now.

[EliSnow]

No touch down yet. But descending.

Hearing about the brother going in to tell that dad, I'm wondering if the brother untethered the balloon not realizing what would really happen.

[ozzie]

The camera is now on rescue vehicles? Now back to the balloon?

Updates, people! I've got no audio here to know wtf is going on!

[disneyspy]

The camera is now on rescue vehicles? Now back to the balloon?

Updates, people! I've got no audio here to know wtf is going on!

down to 900 ft,movin at about 25 mph

[EliSnow]

they keep saying his older brother saw him fall out b4 it got high off of the ground. fucking news always reporting misinformation, i don't know what to think now.

I didn't hear that. I heard the brother saw him going into the balloon, and that he left the door open. Nothing else.

[disneyspy]

down to 400 ft

[jennysmurf]

Only 400 ft now.

[disneyspy]

100 feet

[jennysmurf]

It's down!!!

[FrogSlayer]

thank god

[disneyspy]

ha the balloon is tiny compared to what i thought it was

[jennysmurf]

Shut up and open the door!!!!!

[Baby DEW Year]

The Eagle has landed!

[Baby DEW Year]

Just cut it open already!

[FrogSlayer]

hackin it with a shovel? no one has a sharp knife?

[hammersavage]

Just cut it open already!

and have that little Kittner boy spill out all over the dock?

[disneyspy]

theres an ambulance there,if theres no boy why?

[Coach]

Nobody in it???

[topless_mike]

and have that little Kittner boy spill out all over the dock?

nice !

[Baby DEW Year]

and have that little Kittner boy spill out all over the dock?

Bravo! :clap:

[jennysmurf]

I guess it's empty?

[disneyspy]

Nobody in it???

ambulance is leavin with no one in it

[jennysmurf]

It was empty. So where is he?

[Coach]

The kid musta beamed out.

[EliSnow]

It was empty. So where is he?

Either hiding because he got out right away, or he's dead somewhere.

[hammersavage]

The kids name is Falcon? badass!

[FrogSlayer]

douchebag on foxnews says look under the bed. what a hack

[epo]

That scene on TV looks like the desert scene from Se7en.

California, tell your people to stay away. Stay away now, don't - don't come in here. Whatever you hear, stay away! John Doe has the upper hand!

[Meataball23]

Either hiding because he got out right away, or he's dead somewhere.

Haha resevoir dogs-esque logic

[Meataball23]

douchebag on foxnews says look under the bed. what a hack

Im hating shep smith...dude shut the fuck up about the bed

[Coach]

The kids name is Falcon? badass!

Yippiekayayyye Mr Falcon!

[disneyspy]

[Baby DEW Year]

Im hating shep smith...dude shut the fuck up about the bed

CNN just confirmed that the family was once on "Wife Swap". LOL

[jennysmurf]

Now they're saying he may never had gotten in! What the heck!?!

[RhinoinMN]

CNN just confirmed that the family was once on "Wife Swap". LOL

TWICE!

[hammersavage]

I think this finally confirms that kids are just fucking stupid assholes.

[RhinoinMN]

Now they're saying he may never had gotten in! What the heck!?!

War of the Worlds?

[Farmer Dave]

I think me smells something fishy.

[Misteriosa]

[Furtherman]

Behold! The power of cable news, where most of American spent the last hour watching a balloon float across the sky.

[Freitag]

Wait, was the Mom on Wife Swap God Warrior aka Sue Bender?

[Baby DEW Year]

Now they're saying he may never had gotten in! What the heck!?!

We've been duped...
http://www.biography.com/animalographies/images/geico_gecko.jpg

[EliSnow]

News events like this show that you can't trust news reports at all for the first 24-48 hours, and then only somewhat thereafter.

I hope that it's a hoax by the kids.

[hammersavage]

Wait, was the Mom on Wife Swap God Warrior aka Sue Bender?

I will jizz loads of joy if thats true.


Gargoyles!

[epo]

I hate this family.

[hammersavage]

I think the side of the balloon says something like 'follow me to the movie Up'

[jennysmurf]

Somebody's getting one heck of a spankin!:furious:

[Whitey]

Are the parents arrested yet?

[epo]

[hammersavage]

Somebody's getting one heck of a spankin!:furious:

oh, hi epo

Better a spankin' than a funeral.

[RhinoinMN]

ooof.

[jennysmurf]

Better a spankin' than a funeral.

Of course. But if I found out this was deliberate rather than an accident, some kids would be doing community service. That being said, I REALLY hope he's hiding somewhere.

[jennysmurf]

Use the cast!

You know I save that for you.:wub:

[Dude!]

up, up and away
in my beautiful epo

[EliSnow]

Are the parents arrested yet?

For what? Right now, they don't know what happened for certain.

If the kid was never in the ballooon, they can't be arrested for endangerment, and probably not for a false report if they thought he was in the balloon.

and if the kid's dead, they'll probably wait a little bit to do the arrest.

[jennysmurf]

Okay, I'm done watching. They're just blowing smoke right now. I'll check in later when hopefully they'll know something.

[EliSnow]

I just saw that the aircraft was never meant to carry anyone. Probably just supposed to carry some equipment, given the father's hobbies/career.

[Meataball23]

Well what kind of good parent would leave a 6 year old alone to take off in a hot air balloon ? Not a very good parent . They should be held accountable and the brother said he saw the kid fall out on one of the channels .

They don't even know that the kid did take off in the balloon. The brother could be lying or mistaken.

Or maybe the parents properly tethered the balloon down, but the brother was the one to untether it.

Until they can say what happened, they won't arrest anyone. Or at least they shouldn't.

[Dude!]

put kids in harms way?

The parents already have a hot air balloon there a flight risk.

[EliSnow]

Helium balloon.

It's a flight risk, but maybe they did everything to minimize the risk. You can own equipment that is dangerous and risky otherwise, there would be no farmers who have tons of dangerous equipment that could kill kids. The question is did they take the necessary steps to minimize the risk and not endanger the kids.

At this point, we don't know if they did that or not.

They should arrest the parents for naming the kid Falcon.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Can't wait for Fez to demand outlawing baloons around children. It seeems it was an unfortunate accident don't see the point in all this arrest the parents fez-talk.
Arres. Them for the name yes. If they'd named him rex this wouldn't have been a problem.

[brettmojo]

It was empty. So where is he?
Apparently... Fox News is now reporting that the balloon somehow transported the kid back in time to the year 1986. He's fine and listening to Twisted Sister while a young hot Sarah Jessica Parker serves him lunch out of a robot that looks like an imperial walker with wheels..

[Dude!]

They should arrest the parents for naming the kid Falcon.

Falcons fly,
the birds that is

Falcon kids don't fly
they just drop to the ground

[Furtherman]

I wanted to see the kid fall out and land on another balloon, and the other balloon's occupant shake his fist and curse at the kid for landing on his balloon.

That would have been the best ending ever.

I'm convinced this is all a diversion. It's covering up something else. They're distracting us from something major.

CNN was showing a still pic with the supposed basket falling from the sky, or it could be just a smudge, or a bird..no facts please, just speculation.

Can I get a three sentence summary of this whole thing

1. Fake balloon involved tragedy fills newscasters void of stories, as father rejoices at new stardom
2. The world is gripped for 2 hours as balloon advertisement for movie UP makes all news channels
3. Child still "missing" as parents book appearances on late show circuits.
4. Kid turns up under the bed, family goes on Oprah, Dad goes to jail for child endangerment

How about 4

yay

[Furtherman]

This week a story came out about the Large Hadron Collider and time travel.

Today we had a national hoax about a boy in trouble but he was hiding.

Soon we're going to have a potential epidemic, the H1N1.

We're living the basis of 12 Monkeys.

[sr71blackbird]

They aught to bill the family for all this cost if it was a stunt. Imagine if your flight was delayed due to a stunt? They suspended flights out of Denver for a time. They had the military and police up in the air. This probably cost millions. For nothing.

My girl called this a hoax from the start. I learned never to question my wife!!

9 yr kid makes wicked hockey goal

This poor kid got screwed from more coverage of something real and positive he did.
As a result of the balloon fiasco being on the same day.

The goalie didn't even move. They should put him into the balloon and launch him into the sun.

I would have burned this footage pronto.

[fezident]

That family...being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer... was the longest, most uncomfortable, most poorly acted, most insincere, swapping of lies I have ever witnessed. It was so frustrating to watch both parties fumble around the truth, that I felt compelled to watch the entire thing.

Fuck everybody.

[PapaBear]

Charges to be filed. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091018/ap_on_re_us/us_boy_in_balloon)

"We were looking at Class 3 misdemeanor, which hardly seems serious enough given the circumstances," Alderden said. "We are talking to the district attorney, federal officials to see if perhaps there aren't additional federal charges that are appropriate in this circumstance."

Too bad it looks like it's just a misdemeanor. A lot of money was wasted on this.

Balloon Landing Turns Crop to Crap (http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/17/balloon-boy-landing-wheat-crop-destroyed/)

The infamously boy-less balloon caused even more trouble than we thought on Thursday -- because its landing also wreaked havoc on a valuable wheat crop desperately needed by a local family.

TMZ spoke with Doug and Joanna Abbott who told us their 300-acre wheat crop was destroyed mostly by emergency vehicles racing across their field to chase the balloon -- which also caused its fair share of damage.

Sadly, we're told the field only produces a crop of wheat once every two years, which means the couple will have to wait two more years to see the full fruit of their labors ... all because of some giant empty publicity stunt balloon.

I wouldn't normally say this, but I hope this family farmer sues the fuck out of these attention whores.

[A.J.]

Since the family should be punished, yet continue to get the attention they crave, I suggest the following:

I don't think it's enough, but at least it is something

Balloon Boy parents hit with $42,000 tab for October stunt (http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_14046766)


maybe that turd of a father can find a way to make a tv show about how he comes up with the money.

Ha ha ha...I agree Jeff. It is nice that we get to punish stupidity sometimes. This is what happens when you have a little squealer for a son who cant keep a secret.

Bo bo is the real ballon boy.

[Furtherman]

Rewind to one year ago: We watched, transfixed, as a giant silver balloon hurtled across the sky, chased by aircraft and vehicles on the ground. Inside was an undoubtedly terrified 6-year-old boy. The nation held its breath. (http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/balloon-boy-anniversary-have-we-learned-our-lesson/19670667)



With the first anniversary Friday of that cringe-inducing embarrassment, here's a question worth contemplating: Have we learned our lesson when it comes to believing what we see on instant news feeds and the Internet?

Nope.

if i met balloon boy today i would kick him in his little nuts,hard

You bashed the poor kid on something that he has no control of and went as far as saying that he deserves to be punished for it.

Snacks called you out on it and you try to turn it around as a joke.

Stick to your idea's or just admit that you are wrong and people will understand.

This flip flopping of idea's is gay.

No wonder there is no room in the feed for you.
