the kid isnt in that balloon. its on a 20 foot wide by 5 foot tall balloon with a compartment underneath. If a roughly 50 lb kid was inside the balloon it wouldnt be flipping around all crazy like that, it would be more stabilized, it looks like its empty

in my non-expert opinion

10/15/2009 3:24:55 PM

this is insane...i just can't see him being alive after it comes down.

10/15/2009 3:26:11 PM

10/15/2009 3:26:47 PM

Yep, they were on Wife Swap

10/15/2009 3:27:56 PM

epic fail

10/15/2009 3:28:42 PM

do we have a pic of his parents anywhere since they were on wifeswap??

10/15/2009 3:29:17 PM

10/15/2009 3:32:38 PM

cnn is speculating that he fell out

10/15/2009 3:32:45 PM

cnn still reporting that he may have fallen out (speculation)

10/15/2009 3:33:15 PM

Hmm

Since we have learned the family was on wife swap (thus we know they are attn whores), how likely is it that there never was a kid on that balloon?

10/15/2009 3:33:18 PM

fox news should show it

10/15/2009 3:33:37 PM

omg imagine if that boy is actually still in there. he is going to be traumatized for life.

10/15/2009 3:34:02 PM

he is hiding in his treehouse.

how did he untether it and get inside the compartment?

Father, Richard Heene

Quote :

"It’s impossible to paint a true picture of Richard for you. I could tell you about the cocker spaniel he gave a purple mohawk in the 80s and pronounced a “Punker Spaniel.” I could tell you about the two books he’s published, The Herp-AIDS Detector/Deflector Kit and The Official Offensive Driving Handbook (designed and printed by yours truly). I could tell you about how impressed my son Jimmy was when, at age 10, I took him to visit Richard in the abandoned house he was occupying. Jimmy was especially taken with the boarded-up windows and the Mickey Mouse cartoon graffiti on the interior walls. I could also tell you how Richard is convinced that he has found the secret of an anti-gravity device in the cyclonic action of tornadoes (watch this news report). At the same time I could tell you about scores of amazing ideas, products and projects Richard’s fertile mind has created. Projects like Boxtime, the incredible children’s television show he conceived and produced, that was so good Elmer’s Products invited us to present it to their executive team at their headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. And I could send you a copy of the scientific paper he recently wrote which was just published in the Digest of the National Weather Association. But I’m sure nothing that I could tell you will possibly match the explanatory value of the premier episode of this season’s Wife Swap television show. Somehow Richard and his saint-of-a-wife Mayumi were chosen to appear. Not surprisingly (to me at least), the resulting video was so amazing that the network executives selected their episode to be the very first one aired this fall season."
