been going on for over an hour...

Nuts

Pray for a good ending

Nuts Pray for a good ending

OK I'll pray for a happy ending.

And if the kid crashes and dies, it's because the good Lord had a bigger plan for him, right?

I'll pass on the praying. Not sure what God has up his sleeve here.

[zubzub]

It is being said now that a sibling of the boy saw him fall out before the balloon became airborne yet no confirmation of such.....

seems like, if this in fact occurred prior to the thing getting airborne, it'd be easy to confirm.

The thing is spinning all around, I don't see this ending well, if theres a kid in there.

Idiot parents. Very poor draw of parents for this young one. Invest time in building a experimental helium spaceship then leave it accessible to your 6 year old child. Unfreekingreal. Other lives now potentially placed in peril.

Man, there are some true morons on this rock.

fu ck...........How fast is this thing travelling.

I have never..............WOW

[The General]

Bread, try and think of it as Spirituality. Your perception of God can be anything or nothing, but in the end, good spiritually is most often rewarded by pretty good karma to those who work some sort of kind living into their lives. If nothing at all, it's treating people the way you want to be treated. If I love God, who are you to knock him and if you love your parents, who am I to knock them?

That's all, bud.

[zubzub]

fu ck...........How fast is this thing travelling.

I have never..............WOW

20-30 mph, is whats is said.

[Bread]

[Dbldown11]

Soft landing!

[teaserpleaser]

[Fishhead]

Looks like a CNN HOAX for ratings........no child.

FU..CK CNN

[pats3peat]

[Fishhead]

This crap happens on Thursday afternoons approximently 90.3% of the time........first clue this shit is planned.

[teaserpleaser]

yeah im getting the feeling this is a fake.... hope it is and the kid didnt fall out . The door latch was unlatched and that thing was moving 25 -30 mph at 8000 ft at times.

[zubzub]

Prank, or the kid got out and is now hiding cuz he knows he's in deep doo-doo cuz Dad's balloon floated away.....

quote from http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...39/detail.html

"Flights heading to the north from DIA have been diverted. The Colorado National Guard launched a Blackhawk helicopter and a smaller Kiowa helicopter to try and intercept the balloon."

I hope he is just hiding.

According to that bio on wife-swap, their description of the dad is.

"Dad is so committed to safety that he runs a child-proofing business devoted to identifying dangers and risks and making sure kids stay out of harm's way."

Um.. huh?

this event does not strike me as good PR for his ability to "Child-Proof" anything.

[smarmy]

This stinks of the parents offing the kid and using the balloon as a red herring. imo.

[20Four7]

National guard helicopters have the balloon in sight with no sign of the kid. There'll be an alert now to try and find him.
