it doesn't look to me like there's any separate compartment or even way to see out, much less breathe oxygen. :/

the DC Comics-style cartoonishness is what makes it so horrible - definitely a good idea to keep yr kids away from the TV
― Brio, Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:30 (sixteen years ago)
Places like CNN and Fox News love this type of shit, despite the fact a kid is in grave danger. Reminds me of that song Dirty Laundry.
― Bill Magill, Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:30 (sixteen years ago)
looks similar to the boy from Up!

Authorities say they know for sure the boy is still inside the aircraft's compartment.

The father and son had apparently been working on the aircraft for some time.
"This sort of thing is normal for them," the neighbor told reporters who were gathered outside the Heene home in Fort Collins.
wtf?

Well, so much for not showing the landing. Hope he's alive in there.

it isn't unusual for fathers and sons to work on making shit. just usually it is like a tree house instead of a ufo that will kill your child after it gets windy.
