Posted this in the outside link thread, but yeah, that's got to be one harrowing ride. If the kid is still alive. Did the parents make the balloon?

And there it goes down.

His father made it.

Quote

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A 6-year-old boy is floating over northeastern Colorado in a homebuilt balloon and authorities are racing to try and rescue him.

The balloon, in the shape of a flying saucer is covered in foil and filled with helium. It has a compartment for a passenger underneath. It lifted the boy into the air near Fort Collins Thursday morning after the balloon became untethered at the boy's home.

It landed. It didn't seem TOO bad of a landing.

If that were my kid, I'd be in that thing with a box cutter by now getting him out. What are they doing?

Oops, no one in the balloon

They're trying to cut it open.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:43:29 PM »

The other option is that he accidentally untethered the thing and ran like hell to avoid a belting.

Oh hell no, the kid's name is Falcon?

Quote

The Heene family from Colorado live life on the edge. Wife Mayumi (43) and storm scientist Richard (45) take their three kids, Bradford (, Ryo (7) and Falcon (5), out of school to go on storm chasing missions to prove Richard's theories about magnetic fields and gravity. If conditions are right, Mayumi wakes her family by shouting "Storm Approaching, Storm Approaching!" into a bullhorn. The family sleep in their clothes so they can leap out of bed and into the storm-mobile. Richard calls Mayumi his 'ninja wife'; she maintains equipment, drives the storm-mobile, films tornadoes and waits with the kids while Richard jumps on his motorbike, heads into the eye of the storm and launches rockets to measure magnetic forces. At home the family are as chaotic as a twister: the kids have no table manners and throw themselves around the house, and while Richard devotes every moment to his research, he expects Mayumi to cook, clean and run the house without any help.

Ignoring the fact that it's bloody horrible, feeling bad for the family is a bit like feeling bad for some dude who gets is as whopped after bragging about being the best damned fighter in the bar.

The mom is Japanese, so naming your kid Ryo isn't that much of a stretch.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #38 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:57:56 PM »

I'd think you would put equipment in the balloon and send it up to track certain weather patterns or something? I don't know why people are all like WHAT IS THIS THING! This ain't the 1800's. Its just an enthusiast built weather balloon.

They're still on the balloon shit, its obvious the balloon didn't get that far off the ground with the kid on it

Wolf Blizer is grilling some professional as if the ascent and decent of the balloon actually matters to anyone.
