    i don't know what's funny about it. if a six-year-old boy was in this thing when it went up and isn't in it now, that means he fell or jumped, maybe from several thousand feet.

    Now they are suggesting the family pulled a prank.

    They were on that reality show wife-swap and are thrill seekers... I think carmen had it right. Plus the on the scene enforcement took their time opening the balloon like they already knew beforehand that there was no one in there. There was no urgency. I smell something very fishy.

    america got punked and the family should pay for all the emergency crews working.

    i dont think that balloon is big enough to carry a person. I mean I dont know anything about the math involvd but it would seem like it would have to be MUCH bigger to carry a 40-50lb kid

    why did this family even have this thing?

    They're storm chasers.. you know the dumasses that chase tornadoes and storms (whith the whole family!) they build rockets I hear too. They built this balloon thing

    Forget the boy.

    I, for one, am shocked that they found no popcorn inside.

    It looked like a giant portabello mushroom.

    If the whole thing was a joke, those parents should have to pay for the helicopter's gas, and for any police or other rescue personnel's time. Fucktards.

    and they shut down Northbound departures at Denver airport so they wouldn't collide with the thing. Jeez

    As soon as it landed I figured there was no kid on board. The size of the balloon (compared to the police) didn't give any logic to lifting a 25-50 pound weight, especially a helium filled balloon. Up in the air though, the way it was wobbling and you had no sense of its size it certainly looked like there was some sort of weight in the container underneath.

    I'm guessing it was a hoax or some thing bad happened and someone is trying to cover-up.

    If you see the clip of the dad on Wife Swap, he's pretty insane and volatile anger issues. Seriously.

    The same way I advocate retro-active abortions and dimmer switches on electric chairs for serial killers, I think these fucktards should face the consequences of their self-centered "amusements". TO THE HILT. Woo hoo, my dumb ass is gonna be on Jackass or Punked. Dude - unfair I gotta pay for all the costs of my dumb ass prank?

    Friend of Richard Heene Says Kids Often Were Put in Danger
    http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=8839052



    "The last straw for us was when Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike were heading toward the Texas coastline and Heene wanted to go back there and take the kids," she said.

    "I'm praying this could be another one of Richard's stunts," said Slusser, "Richard loves drama. "
