I thought this was a joke when they were talking about it on the radio.

Hope this turns out OK.

Yeah, been watching it since it broke. I watched as the balloon touched the ground and they grabbed it. No boy inside. Hopefully he was never on it. It doesn't large enough to lift a 6 year old kid off the ground, in my opinion. Guess we'll find out.

it got to 8,000 feet apparantly, and they thought it was capable of 10,000 with the boy in it.

I kind of thought that, but is a 6 year old smart enough to f*ck with people like that?

the balloon caused airport departures to be delayed...

I can see the family getting sued for that one.

now they are saying they think the kid did get into the basket.
So where is the basket?

This story is odd

It was attached to the balloon. It was part of the structure. It kind of looked like a cupcake or a mushroom. Anyway, it landed along with the balloon.
