6 year old boy floats away in hot air balloon

No one in balloon when it landed.

May be a tragedy - or may be a spoof.

I hope it is a spoof! Or they find the little boy! Hate to think of the alternative :(

P.S.

Good news: Boy found in a box in attic in garage. Now let the questions begin, family has a lot of them to answer.

The only reason this didnt happen back when I was growing up is that me and my two brothers never thought of it. We built a number of things, some flew, some blew up, and some sank. We never made CNN - not that they had CNN back in the 1800's but still.

Edited to Add: After reading lots more about the family, dad in particular, I need to add that the things my brothers and I did were on our own, my dad was never involved. Well, at least not until the police or the fire fighters got him involved.

The kid was home the whole time. This is just another scam / hoax that the MSM is sensationalizing because they can't find anything important or worthwhile to report.

Like how $2.6 billion was diverted from guns and ammo for the military fighting a war, for things like a WWII museum in New Orleans, an educational institute named for Ted "Another Dead" Kennedy, ad nauseum. $2.6 billion in pet projects for our elected officials while the military goes wanting. :twisted:

Not likely to see this garnering all the hysteria on CNN today. :roll: :roll:

Things like this make me want to get some beer and watch the Dodgers kick the Phillies ass in T minus 36 minutes. :lol:
Don't worry about tomorrow. You did that yesterday.

Not just kick the Phillies, but bury them and all their fans, and take the Eagle fans with them.
