[C. Lee]

The family was building a balloon in yard....thier 6 year old boy got in and took off http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33330516/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts?GT1=43001

Watching it on CNN now.

Stupid ass people.... poor kid... hopefully this ends hell... why not a helicopter rescue?

Is the kid inside with the hellium... would that eventually kill him?

Got a feeling this is going to end badly.... ****ing stupid ass mother ****ing parents.... it's not the 6 year olds fault, just a kid..... a baby really.... but these dumb ass ****ers, we knew this was outside, and let their child go out their, unsupervised...

Can't believe that there were no grown-ups supervising that 6-year-old before he climbed into that balloon. I read that it could fly as high as 10,000 feet...hopefully it won't make that high an ascension, because it'd be near-to-impossible to bring him down safely then.

 

[C. Lee]

I deleted your post Steel Thunder.....a 6 year old child is in a situation that could kill him....he could already be dead....this is not a laughing matter.

Grow up.

 

[BillyZaned]

having a child.... god, this is freaking scary... is that kid is alive up there... imagine what's going through his head...

anyone making light of this should really check themselves into a hospital, because they ain't right

 

[C. Lee]

The news is saying there is the possibility that he could have fell out of the balloon sometime before the chase choppers got there to keep track of it.....so, he could be dead or terribly hurt somewhere already.

 

[BillyZaned]

hopefully he got out when it wasn't so high, and is okay....

I held my breath during that entire descent

This is such a bizzare story. Hopefully the kid walks out of this alright. Its hard to see how he can, but one can hope.

 

[BillyZaned]

watching it now..... hoping he is alive inside...

 

[C. Lee]

It's on the ground now...but they haven't got him out yet.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Where the hell is the door? This is ridiculous

 

[Paradyme]

I'm curious why or how he got in this balloon or the motives behind it. Hope he is alright.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I really hope the kid is going to be ok.

 

[BillyZaned]

looks like he's not in it...

hoping it's a hoax

no one's inside....

 

[C. Lee]

Reports now say he isn't in the balloon.

 

[C. Lee]

He may have fallen out earlier.

 

[BillyZaned]

it looks sealed... so how could he have got out, then sealed it?

 

[BillyZaned]

hoping it's a hoax

 

[BlackLantern]

just read about this...damn

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

There's no one inside.

 

[C. Lee]

If the door was somekind of spring loaded shut system....he could have pulled it open, fell out, and it then snapped back shut.

 

[BillyZaned]

were they tracking it the whole time?

How much time lapse from takeoff to first being tracted?

doesn't look to be the case from how they opened it
