SA Friday Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Being in CO, this is all over the news here. The family's hobby is weather stuff, storm chasing. The balloon was going to be used in some way for a weather experiment. The boy wasn't in the balloon. News doesn't know where he is right now. Really scary thought is he fell out, but there wasn't any hole in the balloon that would have shown this. I don't think he was ever in the balloon. We will see.

JFlowers Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The news is now reporting that no boy was found with the downed balloon. I hope this is a case of a kid sitting somewhere laughing as the adult scramble and not a tragic event. Well, at least until father and belt get hold of boy!

The_Vigilante Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) The one who should really be in trouble is the boy's brother who said he saw him getting into the balloon!!! Wonder why the kid was hiding in a box in the attic? Did his older brothers set this up as a prank?
