Guy on CNN said he thinks it's likely the child is no longer on board that balloon. Because of the way it is listing.

This is going to be a rough landing. Just hope it doesn't crash into some of those power lines.

I'm starting to wonder if there was a kid in there at all... and the 'parents' just wanted publicity over their balloon...

The department said the dome-shaped balloon is 20 feet long and 5 feet high.

"The structure at the bottom of the balloon that the boy is in is made of extremely thin plywood and won't withstand any kind of a crash at all," said Erik Nilsson, Larimer County emergency manager, according to CNN affiliate KMGH.

Kid could be asphyxiated. I don't know that this will end well.
