6yr Old Boy Trapped in Flying Balloon

Kensta335 · 10-15-2009, 03:08 PM

Anyone watching this? Think it's live on CNN right now. I wonder how they are going to get him down.

So this kid climbs into this experimental balloon built by his parents, sets it up to launch, goes up, and is now stuck? Unless he knows how to bring it down, I'd say he's screwed. You can't pop it (lol) and trying to communcate or give him instructions is pretty much impossible.

Kensta335 · 10-15-2009, 03:13 PM

Yeah, he's way up there. Probably freeze to death or something already.

Edit: CNN said they might have fell off already. wow

335e92tx · 10-15-2009, 03:37 PM

335e92tx · 10-15-2009, 03:40 PM

Im sure they will go with the reality Spin this time.. those guys are never at a loss for a 'plot' (such as it is).

Dackz · 10-15-2009, 05:00 PM

I saw that shit, it flew over me while driving today. I live 5 miles from where it took off and was on the way to meet my dad for lunch. Crazy stuff. The fields nearby are being scoured for the kid right now

Turbo>NA · 10-15-2009, 05:37 PM

Wtf is going on!

yomama69 · 10-15-2009, 05:38 PM

Apparently, there was a box attached to the balloon and a deputy saw it fall off.

ak335 · 10-15-2009, 05:46 PM

ak335 · 10-15-2009, 06:09 PM
