6-year-old boy floats away in hot-air balloon

[PapaG]

Happening right now. Insane. The poor kid is by himself in some home made ballon.

Live video on CNN.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

That poor kid. I hope he doesn't try and jump out.

 

[PapaG]

 

[44Thrilla]

this is nuts..

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

what the fuck is that thing? its home-made? what the fuck is wrong with people.

 

[barfo]

so did the kid launch it himself, or did the adult forget to get in with him, or what?

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

holy fuck! this is insane going fast as fuck!

 

[PapaG]

It's starting to visibly deflate. That poor kid must be scared s**tless.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

they're gonna need to cut the stream, this isn't gonna end well

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Where the fuck is Chuck Norris when you need him...

 

[PapaG]

they're gonna need to cut the stream, this isn't gonna end well

I still can't believe how fast that thing is going.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It's starting to visibly deflate. That poor kid must be scared s**tless.

If it's a slow deflate he'll descent a lot safer.

Fox News says it's not even supposed to fly. The area he's sitting in is made of plywood. Not good for a landing.

 

[PapaG]

so did the kid launch it himself, or did the adult forget to get in with him, or what?

Seems like the kid launched it himself. If he did it on purpose, he's my new hero.

 

[44Thrilla]

I don't think there's a kid in there, just look at it.

 

[BrianFromWA]

looks like half of it is deflating

 

[Rodolfo]

I don't think there's a kid in there, just look at it.

I was thinking the same thing, but the kid is 6. He doesn't weigh much.

 

[PapaG]

It's about to hit the ground!

 

[PapaG]

Get away from those power lines!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Did the kid just land that thing purposely? It looked like a speed retardation and smooth drop.

 

[44Thrilla]

what a soft landing

 

[BrianFromWA]

How long was the balloon at 5k feet or so? It's cold and low-oxygen up there.

 

[PapaG]

I don't think that the kid is in there.

 

[Rodolfo]

No child in the ballon.

 

[44Thrilla]

no boy

 

[44Thrilla]

what a sham

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Well then kudos to the ballon for it's soft landing

 

[RR7]

So was he never in it, or did he fall out somewhere?

 

[Mamba]

Boring! No kid?

 

[PapaG]

Police are searching an area where a person reported seeing something falling out of the balloon while it was in flight.
