HOLY FUCK!

I guess this is happening right now!

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/15/colorado.boy.balloon/index.html

*edit*

There is live video. That balloon is going pretty fucking fast and has the potential to get up to 10,000 ft.

UP!

i just saw him float by lol

wheres the live video?

go to cnn.com and click on the breaking news link at the top of the screen.

the kid is 6 years old!

i'm watching it on cnn right now. jesus. i dont see how this is going to work out

i hope he's smart enough not to crawl out.

shit! the balloon is deflating!

THE KID'S NAME IS FALCON!!!!!

they're saying he might not even be on board anymore

fukcing UFO man! the governmENT ARE LYING TO YOU

I want to believe.

looking at the video of this thing, it's really hard to believe there's anyone in there.

i've heard of people , i think the story was posted on here... that went into a hot air balloon cause they wanted to get the squeeky voice high thing and they died cause there wasn't any oxygen in it. if there is a kid inside this balloon he is most probably dead i think.

Oh shit, it is deflating! It looks to be maybe a fifth empty now. This should add some excitement to my otherwise boring afternoon of work. Hope this kid makes it out ok, although I don't really see what they could do to get him out or anything

Man, if he's in that basket, he can't see anything, can he? That shit must be terrifying.

man i'm hungry for mushrooms

Scared shitless that you might fall however many thousand feet, or having the time of your life.

That doesn't make any sense beacause hot air balloons do have air in them, it's just heated to make it more bouyant than the surrounding cooler air. This balloon has helium or some other lighter than air gas in it, but the kid isn't in the gas holding area, he's in the box attatched to the bottom, if he's in there at all.

it looks like it's getting pretty low now. still fast as hell.

touchdown
