kid fell out early?

so if this kid fell out i can't imagine how they'd go about trying to track him down

I don't understand. This ordeal has been at least half-an-hour. Is it a confirmed, intentional hoax? If not, have authorities located the child?

Was he not inside because he was never inside or because he fell out?xpxpxpxpxp

I'm sure it must've been a mistake, or a prank. Looked like there was no hole in the balloon for a kid to get in or fall out of.

sibling is only witness to see him enter the balloon.

It must've been early if he fell, how quickly were they able to get a visual on it?

So, reality TV dad hoaxer? Or did the kid fall out in mid-air?
― Hatch, Thursday, 15 October 2009 19:43 (fourteen years ago) link
They have a balloon expert on and they're asking him if the kid is probably dead, wtf

If it's the kid playing a prank he's gonna get grounded for sure.
Sorry.

Granted I'm not watching this live, but if there were no hatches or openings (as others have pointed out), how exactly did he fall out?

Maybe he just climbed onto the body of the thing? Or there was some kind of basket that fell off early on?

I call bullshit. It's really a UFO and the balloon story is just a massive cover up.

tho it is plausible that he untied the balloon and then ran away becuz he knew his parents would whup his ass.
And now we get to the "oh this family is a bunch of weirdos" portion of the game.

The boy's father, Richard Heene, is an amateur scientist, according to a 2007 Denver Post article on weather chasers. He joined a retired TV weatherman, Scott Stevens, to form what a weather-research team they called The Science Detectives.

Having been unemployed for a large part of the last 7 months I've seen many many episodes of Wife Swap and sadly have to say that the parents (storm chasers iirc) were pretty nuts. :/
