Yeah I've been watching this for the past half hour or so. I hope this can end at least somewhat well. They say its going to enter the suburbs of Denver within an hour.

And the local station says there was nobody in there. Guess he's hiding around his house somewhere?

That's crazy. We were just watching the video here at work about a half hour ago. Hope everything turns out ok.

Edit: Just saw that no one was inside. Hmmm. Bizarre.

They are saying that it's a possibility that the door on the balloon at some point was open and that he may have fell out.


I hope not

I was thinking that this was a possibility. Man that would suck!

Or a pedophile abducted him and sent the balloon off as a diversion.

I was serious. If he didn't know the balloon, didn't know how long he'd be up there, thought he could land safely (water below?) I don't find it implausible that he jumped. Unlikely, but plausible.

Im sorry guys, I feel terrible for the kid, but all this hooplah abot what happened is silly, IMO.

Two options.
1. He is still at home, either at a friends, or run away, wtc.
2. He is on the ground, but not in a safe sense..

He cant be found at home, but he was seen getting on the balloon. Yet, he isnt on the balloon as it lands.

Hm..

And what the F*** are the parents doing bulding experimental baloons?! Especially around pre-adolescent children!?

Dont blame the parents for their experimental balloon building, blame them for the negligible parenting.
