The dad had the weather balloon tied up, and probably stepped inside or just turned around ... you know how quick it happens ...

Agreed. No different than always keeping a firearm locked up.
People should have to take a test before they can have kids. |

"Bob Licko, 65, a neighbor, said he was leaving home when he heard commotion in the backyard.
He said he saw two boys on the roof with a camera, commenting about their brother.
"One of the boys yelled to me that his brother was way up in the air," Licko said."
I bet his 2 brothers put him up to it. THey had the camera out and everything.... very sad if he fell out somewhere along the way.......
I'd be checking that video to verify he actually did leave the ground on the balloon.....
I remember I got my brother to jump off the garage roof with a sheet parachute... didn't get hurt besides a twisted ankle.

Unfortunately, that kid would have either shown up by now, or he fell out somewhere over the 50 miles the balloon traveled. |

That was the first thing that came to my mind, weren't the folks making a reality tv show? Great way to get cheap publicity... |

as a Raven
i am very happy
that Falcon is ALIVE and Well 
i can remember being that scared of being in trouble as a kid.
---------------------- -------------------- ----------------- -----------------
the only flying i did accidentally off a roof
was where i grabbed a sheet of plywood
while up on a windy roof by the sea
out in California and along came a big gust of wind
blowing me right off, luckily ...i landed on a Big sand pile
and was none the worse for wear. |

I've always said that hot air balloons (and other aircraft) are one of the 2 things people should never build at home. Some things should be left to the professionals.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Who has a six year old boy that can stay quiet for 5 hours during the day?
I hope they nail these desperate attention getters for every penny spent trying to save this "lost boy". I think the denver airport was shut down at one point.
