6-year-old boy admits hoax about hot-air balloon non-ride - Page 2

I was tempted to be snarky and say "in other news, a flying saucer has been sighted in eastern Colorado", but I really hope the little guy is okay.

And whatever consequences befall his parents, I can only imagine it's nothing compared to what they're going through right now.

Jiffy pop anyone??

Seriously, hope they can figure out a way to get him down.

Has anybody considered this might not be an accident?

If my parents gave me a stupid name and built experimental aircraft in the yard I'd probably get the [censored] out too.

They're probably thinking, "The damn thing actually worked!"

Now they're reporting that the family was featured on 'Wife Swap'.

Hmmm...

Falcon Heene: Balloon Boy, Wife Swap Son (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Me thinks 15 minutes wasn't enough?

Balloon is down. No one in there.

I take it from the lack of smileys that it's not down the way we want it to be...

It landed about as calmly as possible but he was not in there. Pretty amazing how softly it landed.

CNN reporting that it has LANDED...not CRASHED...

no kid has been found in the balloon

He's not in there? What?

Was the door open when it landed... or was this some sort of prank by the little kid?

I really hope that this is one big hoax

Some kids are able to swim rather well. Haven't met one yet that could fly. Yet, you are required by law to fence in a swimming pool....but gigantic homemade hot air ballon? [censored] it.
