So he fell out at some point? Christ man.

 

[Barrett2]

Holy shit, he must have bailed out. Thats terrible.

 

[PBY]

holy shit.... so is that better that he fell out? ie is it more possible that he fell out at a lower/safer height?

 

[giga]

so did he fall out at a high altitude? or fall out shortly after it took off? is the second possibility even a possibility?

Neogaf members are supposed to answer this right now?

 

[Mike Works]

the drama involved in this story is fucking INSANE

Chilling at home, watching the news, and loling at us.

So what are the chances the parents sent the balloon up and then told the cops their kid was in there as a prank or for attention/money?

 

[GSG Flash]

Doesn't look like the kid was in there, I hope the kid fell out at ground level before the balloon took off.

 

[Falt]

Edit: He's not inside!

 

[Madrin]

We've been watching an empty balloon...

 

[ckohler]

How certain are they that the kid was in there? Hope he didn't fall out earlier.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

this thing is a fucking hoax.

 

[gdt]

Oh man :/.

 

[FleckSplat]

There is no child.

 

[AndyD]

How could they NOT see him fall out if they were following it?

I dotn think they followed it 100% of the time. So he may have fallen out just a minute or two after it took off.

 

[painey]

all this just for wifeswap ratings

 

[titiklabingapat]

If he fell, wouldn't somebody on the ground notice??

 

[callhitman]

I think the family set this up sounds a lil fishy now.

 

[Grecco]

Either he fell out or he never was in there to begin with (Which is possible)

 

[MaddenNFL64]

World got owned! hahahah!

Damn, that's funny as hell.

 

[UnluckyKate]

We've been watching a run of an empty ballon while the kid getaway like, an hour ago or so... Good luck finding him now

 

[mikeybwright]

hope he was just hiding in the bushes at his parents

 

[eXistor]

this thing is a fucking hoax.

I hope so.

 

[schuelma]

No one is inside per CNN

:lol

that'd be kinda sweet

 

[TitaniumGroceries]

It seems there's no door into the cabin, or else they would have had the thing open already. How could a kid get into the thing without a door?

 

[RBH]

Official: No one is inside the balloon

 

[Brinbe]

empty confirmed

 

[PBY]

I'd be inclined to agree with you- but only after I know 100000% sure that the kid is safe; I'd feel reaaaaly crappy if I cried hoax and then it turns out the kid got seriously hurt

 

[Zeliard]

When did the balloon start being followed by cameras? Is it possible the boy fell out beforehand?

 

[Dresden]

If this was a hoax, the parents should be mobbed and beaten to death.

 

[meteos1]

I bet he's hiding in the house or something

 

[BananaBomb]

Man if the family set this up they are going to pay with every cent they ever earned...

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

oh wow.. they said the cardboard door was open... I feel so bad...

Either hes in the house hiding away from the beating of his life, or he fell out.

 

[FleckSplat]

Turns out the Up jokes and puns were okay.

 

[tonkatsu_ramen]

Its empty...... Where the heck is he.

 

[Stinkles]

SHYAMALANDED!

 

[atomsk]

but then where was boy

=(

 

[AndresON777]

Older brother claimed the kid got in it. Could be a hoax.

yep

 

[Archie]

Apparently the basket was made out of cardboard. SMH

 

[Songbird]

I seriously hope this isn't hoax by the brothers. Angry mob time!

 

[Ferrio]

That balloon looks way to small to life a small child. You guys saw mythbusters episode on that right? It takes a lot more helium that thing thing had..

 

[Gospel]

Wow, he sure trolled us big time.

 

[Dresden]

Apparently the basket was made out of cardboard. SMH

wut

 

[jetpacks was yes]

I live there..

 

[the_painted_bird]

that kid will get his ass kicked if he lied

 

[WedgeX]

Time to send a bunch of helicopters back along the route...?

Otherwise, hopefully the kid got scared as it was taking off and ran away/hid. Hopefully.

 

[shuri]

It seems there's no door into the cabin, or else they would have had the thing open already. How could a kid get into the thing without a door?

yeah i saw no door..and theres no way a grown human could fit in that small area.

 

[Slizz]

he didnt fall out, not like the door is gonna open and shut itself to allow him to fall out.
