Landed! ....

Whatever happened, sounds like he's still alive from what they've been saying.

CNN just said they confirmed the craft wasn't breached
so they don't think he "fell" out. (I hope not)

I'm hoping he's hiding near his house cause he let
the balloon go and he's scared...

where's the other brother, he said he was in there!

 

[daffodils82]

Hope he is alive. Any latest news about him?

I can't help but wonder if they even had searched the family's property
while all of this was happening. That simple procedure would have saved
a lot of manpower hours. They were even getting ready to send helicopters
with infra red cameras to check the ground along the path the balloon had
flew over. All this and the kid was hiding in the attic above the family's garage.
At least he's safe and well.

Am I the only one who thinks it's a little bit strange how good of a job that kid managed to do tracking an object moving 50kph? Glad everyone is alright but I must admit the whole incident almost comes across as "staged" to me. And with kids hiding from their parents for hours, parents taking their kids storm chasing, and high electricity gear not made inaccessible to children... Someone ought to call in the social workers imho.

BS.... nice little publicity stunt though, too bad it wasted thousands and thousands of tax dollars.....

 

[namebug]

The family was on Wife Swap -- they sure enjoy their limelight. It was definitely a publicity stunt.

Oops. Boy revealed that it was just for "the show" Balloon Boy Lets the Air Out | Lazy Slob You can never let a 6-year old speak without proper media training.

I think the should now have to pay for all the time they took up of people/services helping them

 

[nick-8318]

I'm having a hard time believing this was done on purpose.

If it was done on purpose, these kids don't believe with their parents, although apparently there already is a lot stuff unsafe about this family.

I'm having a hard time believing this was done on purpose.

I'd like to continue to believe that, but I don't anymore: YouTube - "Balloon Boy" Falcon Henne Admits: "We Did This For The Show"

If he was my son, I would have given him an ass whoopin he would never forget.

I saw the dad with the kid on TV, and they were acting like the kid did nothing wrong heh
