shuri said:guys i think its getting really close to the ground now. the camera is at a lower angle.
Haha, yep. The harsh reality of umm... reality :lol-COOLIO- said:often times, Disney scenarios in real life would be dangerous and fucked up.
I thought the same thing.captmcblack said:It looked like something was hanging out of the balloon :-x
Baker said:It has dropped 1500 feet in the last ten minutes or so.
i thought the alternative to him being in the balloon was him having already fallen, which would of been worse.BlueTsunami said:Shit
And I'm afraid that the thing will become so unstable that he'll fly out the thing (if the door isn' t latched down). The way its spinning and turning is crazy.
6500 now, was 8000.LocoMrPollock said:Wonder how high he is?
I think the kid would have gotten back home by now if he had crawled out so close to take off.BlueTsunami said:CNN's reporter read a statement that a sibling had seen the boy crawl out of the thing (before it got so high).
Teknoman said:Time out. His name is Falcon?
BlueTsunami said:The professional they've got on is saying that there may be no payload on board (so no child) due to how unstable the thing is flying.
he'll liveUnluckyKate said:This is dramatic. Is this kid in going to die LIVE in front of all the world?
Whoever is the responsible (and I guess the dad can't be totaly out of cause) he must feel pretty bad right now
His mom and dad are absolute wack jobs. Seriously, I am sure youtube has plenty of clips of their Wife Swap episodes.UnluckyKate said:This is dramatic. Is this kid in going to die LIVE in front of all the world?

fistfulofmetal said:and do what? the chopper will get too close and send the flimsy craft to rocking around which would likely rupture the hull, sending it to the ground. there's not really any way to get this kid.
davepoobond said:yeah but the kid is like 100 pounds, im sure the balloon itself weighs at least that much
and if he werent in there, why is it staying more-or-less upright? the physics of wind would be pushing against the top of that balloon and make it flip around
I don't see a cabin at all... Is it the somewhat solid part below the balloon itself?BlueTsunami said:The professional they've got on is saying that there may be no payload on board (so no child) due to how unstable the thing is flying.
