Helo, snag line and a gun ship to burst the bubble.

Now that I solved that problem, let's move onto world peace and using your turn signal.

Balloon has landed, empty.

What a horrible loss.

Do we know that the boy actually got in the balloon, or do we just have the Brother's word?

I hope he is hiding up in a tree somewhere... but it doesn't look good.

They don't know yet, compartment appears not to be breached. As someone said, probably hiding under a bed because he accidently released Daddy's balloon.

I'm not sure I see the humor in this.

i can see no reports anywhere confirming or denying that photo anyhow.

sure doesn't take the sickos long to create their garbage (possibly) fake photos does it?

from my extremely personal opinion...

that ballon is appoximately 20 feet in diameter... the image of the child in the corner isn't to scale, if thats the case.

Tough kid, wearing shorts and no shirt in Ft. Collins this time of year. Really a shame.

There ought to be a law...
Oh no, that might be giving people ideas about banning balloons or helium.
Sorry.

It's for the children... And we all have heard how if it saves just one child, then it is worth it. Right?
