Six Year Old Boy Drifts Off In Balloon.

Well, either way, must be good news the kid wasn't put through any stress and trauma. That's a positive.

A free hot air balloon ride and a bungee jump?

Lucky lucky.

No, no one was in it.

Oh my god...

The kid's family was on Wife Swap.

I don't know what's happening now, because my broer would rather play Guitar Hero than see if the kid is okay. They think he jumped off soon after the balloon took off.

So they don't know where the kid is then?

He could be anywhere. The Balloon flew hundreds of miles.

if he survives he'll be the coolest kid @ his school

Or the uncoolest, because of his missing legs, broken bones, and misshapen body.

or even more awesome with his robot legs, titanium bones and that cool mask he uses over his misshapen face

Yeah, you should look on the bright side of things like she does : P

Best case scenario: He's hiding under his bed snickering at everyone chasing the balloon.

Worst case scenario: He's a pile of protoplasmic jelly and bones in some Colorado wilderness.

So wait, they still think the kid was in it when it took off? Oh crap.

Multiple witnesses saw him inside it. They're almot positive he jumped off early, and may have survived.

Imagine the misunderstood headlines in the record books 50 years from now: "Youngest Suicide: 6 Year Old Steals Balloon, Jumps To Death"


.... Hey! You got to have a sense of humor about these types of things! XD

Is it wrong that I started giggling when I read this story?

Now, they think that he never went on the balloonor or that the carrying box fell off.

it's better than crying lol
at first I was worried, but then I noticed that by being worried nothing would change and I'd just spoil my day, so now I simply consider it a funny story lol

They said they saw the basket fall off of the balloon.

Oh jeez. :/

So there's little chance of him being okay, then? :\

No, they're not sure if he was in the box, and if he was, he probably didn't fall that much.
