Oh.

I know this is quite shocking

but very bizarre. I don't think you will see a story like this for a long time.

His Dad
is a Storm Chaser.
From SkyNews Live.

I think he has fallen tbh. hs family would have said something if he was home.

come fly with meeeee

That is my dream job...

Yes it looks like a Tragedy now.


It was not mean't to carry anyone
they have searched his home.

Damnit I don't have fox news for some reason.

We have the news package though

I guess its now a missing persons case?

tbh

I think the boy panicked. And had opened the door to see how high he was the of course he... fell.

Its on SkyNews.

omfg

I hope and pray he didn't get in the balloon and that he's just hiding because he's afraid.

I really hope hes ok:(

Yes
that would be better.

holy **** this is scary

poor kid

Falcon Heene was reportedly the boy stuck in a hot air balloon. (UPDATE: IT LANDED, NO ONE IS INSIDE). CNN says his older brother Ryo Heene is the one missing. The six-year old is the son of Richard and Mayumi Heene of Ft. Collins, Colo. Richard is a storm chaser and scientist. The parents were on "Wife Swap" and returned for the 100th episode, so information on the family is online. They apparently sleep in their clothes so they can leap from bed and run after a storm.

As I said a few posts back, maybe its some kind of publicity thing. Thinking thats more realistic now we know they were on Wife Swap

I was thinking that Tom, I didn't wanna say because of the thoughts that these people are that sick...you never know I guess. And lets just leave this aside and wait for news on the boy.....

OMFG i really hope he hasn't fall out :l

Either the boy fell out or this is some sick publicity stunt.

or he's scared of whats happened...remember he's 6...

If its a publicity stunt its really sick:/

yeah I agree if it is a publicity stunt, but we shouldnt really speculate...I mean we know sweet F all about this really....

If its a Stunt
then Jail,

Unless as Ice says the 6 year old his hidden, scared.

But the Older Brother
confirmed he was in it.

The 3 brothers

I really do think a bad outcome is all we will see....

Whats happened?

Since the boy wasn't found in the balloon, there are only bad outcomes left :(

A 6 year old boy got into a home made weather balloon and it took off and went 60 miles. The only witness to the boy getting in was his older brother. The balloon landed and there was nobody inside..

Not necessarily, the boy may be afraid of all the attention that happened and is scared hiding somewhere in their neighbourhood. (I'm aware this is a long shot but it's still a possibility).

One thing I found fishy, and I noticed that right away, but didnt think anything of it at the time, when things like this happen, it usually takes a while before the identity of the peole concerned is revealed, let alone the identity of their parents brothers, and their family pictures on the news. To protect them from being harrassed, they usually dont reveal the names, until a resolution. BUt in this case, we knew everything about them, while the balloon was in flight.

Yeah as time progresses this seems more and more like a sick publicity stunt.

Any updates, havent got the news on...?

They Say they are now searching for the 6 year old.
Fox News.

He has a wikipedia page dedicated to him now....bit strange I think....also it says that the balloon's basket wasnt breached so they think he may be on the ground hiding now......

why the **** was he in a ballon anyway?

His parents are like storm chasers and his dad made the balloon as an experiment.....I think that his older brother may have been minding him, im not sure though.

Only a small Child could Fit into it anyway.

Yeah and they wouldnt want to weigh that much either becuase it looked very fragile to me.
