A balloon flying at high speeds being chased by helicopters with a theoritical ultimate outcome of death or high flying rescue damn you're right. there was nothing interesting about this at all
This is all for the movie to come out in the future: "The Curious Case of Falcon the Balloon Boy" Somebody needs to send that family a hefty bill. This is for use of helicopter resources, setting up a no-fly zone and diverting air traffic, tracking the balloon, balloon recovery, and use of vehicles. lol
You may be right http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,567304,00.html statement made by 6-year-old Falcon Heene in which he said, "we did this for a show." Falcon's father asked, "Why didn't you come out?" The boy answered, "You had said we did this for a show." Later, Richard Heene bristled when the family was asked to clarify and said he didn't know what his son meant. He didn't ask his son what he meant by "a show." "I'm kind of appalled after all the feelings that I went through, up and down, that you guys are trying to suggest something else," Richard Heene said.
I don't know if you can put much faith in directly parsing the somewhat inaudible words of a weird six-year old.
fatty, where were you yesterday? Given the eventual outcome, this thread was the perfect place for your brand of shock jock funny. And then you would have pwned all the "SAVE THE CHILDREN!" people when he popped up in the attic. I'm actually being serious and non sarcastic. You missed the boat.
Didn't you hear? Fatty had to drive up I-45 to Dallas and needed suggestions on which Truck Stop would have the best jerky and Texas Tech Car Flags.
No, I was unfamiliar with the route and wanted good food suggestions. I was pissed off that Bucee's had an entire SHRINE dedicated to UT and A&M but NO other school was represented. It was stupid.
I'm leaning towards this being a hoax but even if it isn't the family should be held liable for conducting an unsafe and unregulated experiment. Obviously this balloon was poorly secured and even without a kid in it was a navigation hazard.
I'm just pissed I held back on my 'the Falcon has Landed" post when the thing hit the ground out of respect for this dumbass family These folks deserve a Reality Show. Why mess up those 8 innocent kids on the Kate and Jon show, when this bunch is messed up already?
Just wanted to point out moestavern19's original prediction since hes going around acting like Nostradamus.
