I was thinking the exact same thing. Hopefully this turns out to be the case.

More than likely. I think their biggest concern now is that this thing doesn't crash into something important and hurt/kill more people.

Emergency vehicles...don't see how they can predict to any accuracy when and where the balloon goes down.

Officials were concerned that a 6-year-old boy who drifted away from his parents' Fort Collins, Colorado, home in an experimental helium balloon may already have fallen out of it, an undersheriff said. Margie Martinez of the Weld County Sheriff's Office said a sibling saw the boy, named Falcon, climb into the basket before the balloon took off [CNN]

I'd be very, very concerned about power lines if the child is in there.

Descending....Now 400 feet off the ground

Doesn't look like there's any holes in it, that a child could fall out of... Highly doubt he was in it once it took off...
