I was just coming to post this. I can't see newsfeeds at work though. Maybe that is a blessing in disguise. Just thinking about it makes me nasesous.

Im watching it now on CNN! It looks like the balloon is going really fast Right outside of Denver, looks like a big mylar balloon.

 

[5 'LIL *TWINKERS*]

"Child floats away in a balloon" is the headline on CNN

Kid untied the rope while working on this experimental aircraft with his dad. Somehow he managed to get inside and it took off

I am watching!

This is just beyond bizzare and unreal!

OMG! So scary! That poor child.

I'm reading the updates on CNN - apparently someone (I don't remember where I just read this) said the bottom of it is built out of plywood, so it won't withstand any type of crash. It's a really weird shaped balloon, too. How odd.

I half heard the story on the radio. I would simply die if it is my kid.

Oh my gosh!

The only thing that comes to mind is a rescue sky diver.

It looks like a space ship - I bet he was intrigued. I am sick to my stomach over this little boy. It sure does look like its going so fast. They said it is capable of going 10,000 feet.

 

[5 'LIL *TWINKERS*]

11,000 ft heading towards Denver airport

 

[Darsa]

Holy carp!! I hopehopehope this turns out okay...

Wow, it looks like it's going REALLY fast, too

 

[hegsag]

I have small children - I just can't imagine. Saying lots of prayers for this little boy!

 

[5 'LIL *TWINKERS*]

Now they are saying that the child may have fallen out of it. Not confirmed yet.

 

[Handbag Lady]

It is so strange.

What do you do? Send up another hot air baloon to chase it?

Shoot it down in hopes of a slow leak?

I have it streaming now and it just seems to be going to fast, but it is hard to tell when it is up against clouds.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

watching it now--they said they don't even know if there is ventillation.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

crap--they are now saying there is a concern that he may have fallen out. How do they know.

 

[jme829]

[Subrbnmommy]
