It's funny how it just happened to land in an open field....
I'll take 54 (edit: but it could go much higher). Now that the Blitzer interview is out there, and especially considering all the pending litigation, this will have some legs.o/u?
Very bizarre family. I feel bad for those boys.
She's Yoko-esque.Watching the videos. The Asian chick is hilarious.
I feel the same way, but I'm pretty sure there's no way.After watching that episode I'm convinced I know the father....CONVINCED. Not sure if it was from the poker table or If I did construction work for him but I'm positive I know.
Total trainwreck.video of this part?Dad flips out and says that CNN has underhanded motives and is trying to vilify them. Wolf acts dumb and kisses their butt in the last two minutes.What did I miss?BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Leader in the clubhouse.
"I was a captain of a spaceship where i shuttled aliens from a planet called E16862 to and from Earth!"
Couldn't make it through. Horrible.video of this part?Dad flips out and says that CNN has underhanded motives and is trying to vilify them. Wolf acts dumb and kisses their butt in the last two minutes.What did I miss?BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Here it is.Dad looks seriously disturbed during and after his son getting sick. No matter the eccentricities of the family or the possibility of a publicity stunt, it bothers me that Richard looked grieved about every element of the media circus and his son's whereabouts when Falcon vomited.Did anyone just see the kid barf on-air during the interview on the Today Show?![]()
trotting all the kids back out for a 5am interview. after all that went on yesterday. is that part of not being ####ified?Did anyone just see the kid barf on-air during the interview on the Today Show?![]()
Agreed. Regardless of the circumstance, or whatever, this is still a family that seems to love each other. The outside world might call them wierd, or whatever, but the kids seem happy and well cared for. I can only imagine the kind of stress it would take to make me vomit...and I don't think a 6-year old kid should feel that kind of stress. If I were that family, I would graciuosly thank rescuers, apologize publically for any harm caused, then fade out of the spotlight. I would stop doing interviews, and cancel my Wife-Swap crap if I could. I think recent events (Jon and Kate + ocho) have proven that the media isn't good for families.Here it is.Dad looks seriously disturbed during and after his son getting sick.

You are right, no kid should feel that kind of stress and that is the fault of the parents for trying to pull a stunt like this. This was a hoax and the parents are loons!Fat Nick said:Agreed.

I was with the cable news until the thing hit the ground (and a CNN "expert" actually said moments earlier that he didn't think there was anyone in the balloon—good call). I assumed the balloon was a lot bigger than it turned out to be—and I'm guessing most of the anchors and experts being told there was a boy in there assumed it was a pretty large balloon. But once we got a sense of scale, it turned out that thing wasn't very big at all. But then they started talking about a box attached to the bottom or the kid having already fallen out. Neither of those stories made any sense and it seemed like they were passing along those reports without the skepticism they warranted.I kind of wish I was more explicitly skeptical myself, so I can understand the position they were in. Nobody wants to be the person calling hoax and then find out there's a dead kid, especially when you're a talking head.In retrospect, I think the cable news did a fair job, the police reported that a boy was stuck in a flying balloon and coverage was given. Sure, now we can all look back and say that the boy was not in the balloon but at the time that was not known. He was later found hiding back at home. For some reason while I was watching this I kept thinking about the JonBenet Ramsey case (also in CO) in which again police we called about the odd disappearance of a child, but that one had a much worse ending.
Agreed. He seems rather unstable to me.Guy makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Exactly.More likely than not it's BS, but when the alternative is a dead 6 year old, you really HAVE to take that possibility as serious as a heart attack.I was with the cable news until the thing hit the ground (and a CNN "expert" actually said moments earlier that he didn't think there was anyone in the balloon—good call).

Tigran Petrosian said:Well, I get that they figured the 6 year old was the only one plausibly small enough to be lifted by this mylar balloon (actually not, but regardless), so they had him hide and claimed he was carried off. The problem is that Falcon wasn't ready for prime time. He fumbled. They should have gone with Bradford. He was the only one not writhing around awaiting his next ritalin dose.
YOU ALWAYS START YOUR STUDS.
The Dad also said that he was unaware of the fact that rescuers found the hatch to be untouched and therefore, concluded it was almost impossible that anyone had been in the envelope to begin with. Um, I'm pretty sure this is something they'd have told him. And then, him getting emotional every time they bring this up and then saying #### like, "I hate to say this with him here" choke, sob, choke, "I thought... I thought maybe he'd fallen out." What a ####### #####.Has anybody mentioned the Dad said they contacted him when the Balloon landed? I'm pretty sure if I thought my kid was in the Balloon that was on the loose that I would likely try to follow it. Unless of course, I knew my kid was in the garage playing with toys.
