huh I'm wondering why cant the family provide some information on this balloon?huh They should be able to tell if a passenger compartment fell off this thing:smile: Dont they got a tv?huh


they prolly are

but I imagine their very last concern is talking to the zillions of reporters that are prolly bugging the crap out of em while they are panicking over their kid

Calm down now

Calm down!

How much time was this balloon up on the air

How much time between the lift

Someone figuring out a child was inside

And the media arriving

How far an area did this falling balloon cover

Why was the media called in on this?

On a slow news day. The media can pull some ****!

I wonder about all sides. All the time

If it was a small area. Did they find the kid yet. I stopped watching

And never rule out parents despite the beautiful family portrait!

Just my. Oooh soo:heart: humble opinion
flowerforyou Good point.:heart: But I dont think the media released this balloon.flowerforyou Could be something weird about this family thoughflowerforyou

First off, i'd like to say, that i hope the boy is found safe.

I removed a few posts here, and i want to explain something.

When you see a thread like this, and you know emotions are high, especially concerning the possible death of a child, then it should be common sense, not to infuriate folks with jokes.

Now, i don't want you guys to take that the wrong way, i want you all to have fun, and enjoy your experience here, but i do want you all to be respectful of others.

Thank you

Did they ever say who called the media

And why??

If it was the parents that's fishy to me. I'd be to worried to think
"call fox news!"

Is it the cops or someone with a scanner?

The media uses police scanners all the time.

Maybe to get the word out for the public to be watchful, since they wouldn't know how far it would travel?

Ok
Not by a television anymore!

But remember the times ya mom couldn't find you
And freaked!!

And you were asleep in a corner or under the porch for some kooky reason

Was the house given a once over?

Are they sure he was on this balloon?

Did they check all grounds around the house?

Is this still even going on?

(sorry not near TV)

here is the most likeyl scenario for the news being brought in.

The parents found the child missing with the balloon gone, big brother says he watched little brother climb in so panic ensues.
Parents call 911, and dispatcher calls police on road to respond. This is done over a radio of some kind, which the media have complete access to. And for those who say that's just Hollywood nonsense, I have news for you; a ten year old boy can tap into radio transmissions if he cared to do so.
The media heard what is going to be an instant news story and rush to the scene.

:smile: Family is now saying that there was a compartment missing when it came down:smile:


It's a box, but not made for human transportation. Most likely for electronic equipment.

I would say if it was there, look for it close by the home.

Was the house given a once over? Yes the police themselves searched the house, and it can be assumed the grounds and nearby area as well.

Are they sure he was on the balloon? older brother made a statement to the effect of having watched him get in the balloon.
