I am trying to figure out what exactly the dad was thinking with building this thing
Let's build this sucker so my son can climb in, fly away, be filmed by tons of cameras and then ends up dead.

alive scenarios:1) brother has run away, possibly with an assist from his brother2) kid lying in ditch somewhere with broken leg3) hilarious prank
dead scenarios:1) fell out and died2) either the brother or the parents killed him and this is an elaborate cover up

RT @morgan_murphy: right now would be a great time for a politician to admit he fucks horses. It would get BURIED under this balloon story.
Wonder if he received a bail-out?

it occurs to me that its quite unlikely that a 6 y/o could launch this thing himself particularly if he was inside it

yes 'boy climbs in / balloon then just takes off' just seems too much a coincidence (would hope so)

My first thought on seeing the balloon was that it was too flimsy and deflated looking to actually hold the 40-50 pounds of a six year old.
Countdown to idiot legislation banning amateur balloon flights in 5... 4... 3...

REACT: What information do you wish me to tell [the airport] at this time as to your location and your difficulty? Larry: Ah, the difficulty is, ah, this was an unauthorized balloon launch, and, uh, I know I'm in a federal airspace, and, uh, I'm sure my ground crew has alerted the proper authority. But, uh, just call them and tell them I'm okay.
It does seem rather unlikely. I'm hoping it's a big charade, and the kid is hiding out somewhere.

prob the older brother did it - 50/50 the boy was actually inside
rad darkhorse scenario: boy was never inside the father did it all for publicity and is about to have a press conference where he informs us the government is controlled by lizard people
