Runaway ballon with 6 year old inside

Anyone else find it kind of funny his name is Falcon

saw

Well, the family was on Wife Swap on ABC and has a giant weather balloon tied to their house… do you really expect them to give their kids normal names?

I think it was called Trading Spouses…

Nope, CNN had the screen cap of the family photo and it was definitely Wife Swap. http://www.tv.com/wife-swap/heene-martel/episode/1233769/summary.html

Some more info about why they’re pretty sure the kid WAS in it when it took off.

Police say the family’s two boys were playing outside with the rest of the family inside the house. One son watched his little brother go inside the compartment and watched it take off.

cnn is reporting that they now are thinking he WAS NOT in the aircraft and that they are searching the neighborhood

Authorities were looking into reports that something fell from the balloon shortly after it took off from the home. A search was under way near Platteville, 5 to 10 miles outside of Greeley, Colorado.

Not so good

Also, they were on a reality TV show

publicity stunt?

I am kind of amazed that if the boy fell out of this thing from a balloon, no one has called in and said that a random 6 year old boy is laying in their lawn.

Because he had to land on a lawn, right?

Someway, somehow, this is Dick Jauron’s fault.

Doubtful considering that balloon covered so many yards.

It would have checked down and crashed into a house 2 yards behind where it took off if he was in charge.

:clap:

you’re on a roll this week.

I feel a little bad considering a kid might be dead in all this, but I can’t help laughing at this. Bravo :clap:

All I know is this kid kicks Chris Angel’s ass. I bet he shows up in Vegas.

Are you implying that in colorado they have trees and wooded areas?

Hold on balloon boy, imma let u finish, but Amelia Earhart had one of the best disappearances from a flight OF ALL TIME!

the new scoop is that there was a box attached to the bottom of the balloon originally. It had fallen off by the time news choppers found the balloon.

Are you implying they only have lawns?
