6 yr. old alone in runaway experimental balloon (1 Viewer)

[RBM]

WTF

Not sure anybody is in there

 

[Brock Middlebrook]

My heart is beating a million miles an hour

 

[Fat Nick]

He's not in there. Some guy just picked the thing up with 1 hand.

 

[QUEZILLA]

No way he's in there.

 

[Stryker]

Its on CNN dude

 

[Balco]

I am sure they already checked for the kid.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

Maybe the kid was never in there. Let's hope.

 

[urbanhack]

damn

 

[RBM]

Why are they hitting it?

Trying to make a hole in it so it doesnt go up again

 

[SlaX]

Is the boy in there?

 

[krista4]

He's not in there. Some guy just picked the thing up with 1 hand.

Yeah, they've pulled the whole thing apart now.

 

[The Noid]

Maybe he never was in it. Let it go by accident and ran away because he thought he would be in trouble.

 

[CJsuperstud]

maybe he is and they are giving the networks time to cut the feed before... I don't want to think about it anymore

 

[QUEZILLA]

Amber Alert.

 

[E Street Brat]

the kid must not be in there, they are in no hurry to get him out

Or........

 

[Casting Couch]

Balloon is EMPTY.

 

[Hawks64]

Is the boy in there?

Doubtful at this point.

 

[Phase of the Game]

Why are they hitting it?

Trying to make a hole in it so it doesnt go up again

Yep...trying to get the helium out.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

Maybe he never was in it. Let it go by accident and ran away because he thought he would be in trouble.

That's what I'm hoping too.

 

[RBM]

They cut the helicoptor feed. No more footage

 

[QUEZILLA]

Bigger let down than PatsWillWin

 

[Norman Einstein]

msnbc reporter on scene...no kid in balloon

 

[Two Deep]

#### where is he???? and where are hie parents can't they provide some info as to his whereabouts

 

[Harry Manback]

Are they seriously hitting the baloon?

WTF??

They had footage of the balloon, wouldn't they have seen him fall?

 

[Tigran Petrosian]

Gotta love this reporting. What a mess.

How do you not get the one important fact in this whole situation correct?

 

[Dreamer]

Crazy. I hope this turns out well. :(

 

[RBM]

Unreal

 

[krista4]

CNN says police are confirming no one inside balloon.

 

[Hawks64]

msnbc reporter on scene...no kid in balloon

Where is the kid then? Was he ever in it? Did he jump? Looks like there wasn't much of a way into or out of the basket.

 

[Harry Manback]

Maybe he never was in it. Let it go by accident and ran away because he thought he would be in trouble.

:( Best case scenario here.

 

[Death Bytes]

From what I understand, the only "witness" that the 6 year old was in the balloon was his older brother, who said he saw his younger brother playing with it.... and then if flew away.

 

[UOFI_316]

How would the kid get in that. There is no "door" or hatch, just foil wrapped around stuff.

 

[The Noid]

I hope this doesn't turn into a freaky parents killed the kid and were trying to cover it up by saying he floated away.

 

[Knocks]

Resucers gotta be :( NO KID!

 

[Two Deep]

has someone checked his bedroom

 

[Phase of the Game]

Considering how strange it is to have a balloon like this in your backyard it does seem like something strange will come out of this.....likely a possible hoax the kid was even in the balloon.

 

[pantagrapher]

The spectacle of grown men whacking that balloon into submission was oddly comical.

 

[Pooh Tong and Nemo]

Balloon is down and no kid...They are saying he fell out. So sad.

 

[RBM]

Maybe he never was in it. Let it go by accident and ran away because he thought he would be in trouble.

They said that on FOX news awhile ago.

 

[FavreCo]

How can they not know where the kid is? It was going in circles wasn't it?

They worked that balloon over.

 

[culdeus]

has someone checked his bedroom

solid question

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I have a Curious George helium foil birthday balloon in our house from August 8th and it still hasn't come down yet... this could go on for a while.

WTF is wrong with you people?

Huh?

Sounds like its a 6 year old trapped freezing and alone in a ballon in a very dangerous situation far above his parents.How desensitized have we become to be making jokes about this?

I don't see how anyone was making a joke here.

 

[No. 16]

Wow it is the family from WifeSwap about the tornado chasers.

It's the white dude with an Asian wife, Myumi, and they had 3 boys. So sad.

 

[YSR]

I was on pins and needles watching this thing, racked with chills, etc.

Called everyone I could think of and told them to tune in.

While there is still the chance that he fell out and is hurt (which I hope didn't happen), I have to be :( at this whole circus if he turns out okay.

 

[SlaX]

Did the kid fall out?

Yeah, I hope he didn't fall out.

 

[RudiStein]

jesus

 

[Fat Nick]

If he fell out, they'll never find him.

The only chance I can think of is to get a helicopter with FLIR to search...but the area is SO big. :(

 

[The_Hoser]

Maybe he never was in it. Let it go by accident and ran away because he thought he would be in trouble.

They said that on FOX news awhile ago.

Did they blame it on Obama?

 

[Limp Ditka]

Gordon Boring

:(

 

[B-Deep]
