Oy... "The balloon may drift into air traffic control corridors used by Denver International Airport, based on its current location and direction."

I would like to comment that the CNN reporters are about 1 step away from severe retardation. Grrr.

"this is only speculation but we are now hearing that the boy may have fallen out at some point.." their speculation sent my heart to the floor that bitch.. i didn't see any door on that thing.. i'm wondering if two little brothers didn't untie it and watch it go off in the air and then came up with a plan of how not to get into trouble.. there is no way that someone inside that balloon could untie is and take off..not a 6 year old..but the other brother could have.. bleh..now they have me speculating.. i just hope he shows up and is alright.. _____________________

Based upon the area where the balloon landed, if he climbed out, it could take a while to find him.

they had to cut open the bottom piece of the balloon to look inside..
either something fell off or he never went for the ride.. I think it's just a weather ballon and not one you would get into.. i'm just hoping the two boys didn't tie something to it and it took off.. I hope he come out from under the house or something..The parents and his brother have to be devastated right now _____________________

While it might be speculation, the powers that be are not taking chances -- "Authorities were looking into reports that something, or someone, fell from the balloon shortly after it took off from the home." . this is why it is so hard to watch the news..instead of speculating they should be reporting when they know something..speculation is what keeps people from changing the channel.. it serves no other purpose other than to keep us glued..it sure doesn't help the family any.. i hate the way the news is covered i guess.. _____________________

A spokesperson with Fort Collins Police said, "This balloon was never meant to actually carry anybody. It was just a family project they were working on. The little compartment where their son is in is very small and it's not attached very well." "The boy's father Richard Heene is a known storm chaser. " this is not sounding to good _____________________

If you do the math the balloon is just not capable of lifting off with even a very small child aboard.

I really wish our media would take out the words news and journalism from their vernacular and just replace it with "gossip, speculation and ill informed bullshit". They really are a joke. All of them.

Whew!!!! wow if this was vegas i would be collecting big time hehehehe Wow i am really glad this ended up with a happy ending.. i didn't see any door on that thing.. i'm wondering if two little brothers didn't untie it and watch it go off in the air and then came up with a plan of how not to get into trouble.. bleh..now they have me speculating.. i just hope he shows up and is alright.. I hope he come out from under the house or something..The parents and his brother have to be devastated right now I bet he looked so cute up in that attic when they finally found him..that poor little guy hiding up there all that time really had to be scared of the trouble he was gonna get into.. It's soooo much better than him being in that balloon being scared or the other alternative.. I love a happy ending.. now someone out there that can reach that speculating bitch at CNN..slap the crap out of her for sending all our hearts to the floor like she did.. _____________________

It's supposedly a family that's been on a TV show called "Wife Swap" twice.
Is the story that this attention seeking family have a inadequately secured filled helium balloon in reach of a six year old boy, with only the other kids watching him, who supposedly gets in the balloon, exits from the balloon, and either he or his siblings or the parent set the balloon off, or the inadequate tethering gives way, and the 6 year old goes in the house and gets in the attic unseen and unnoticed? If that's supposed to be the story it sounds kind of hokey to me, other than the part about the family being attention seeking. _____________________
