No. The only evidence we had at first was his brother said he was in the balloon.

Let's put this in perspective people ... he's a 6 year old kid. There's no way he could have known his actions would lead to this. He effed up and hid. Who hasn't done that?

Hahaha, I'm 100% sure that this is an attention grab from the kids or adults or both now. That 6 year old was pretending to be Mr. Hanky at 1:04 of the video. . . that's effed up.

We saw all kinds of footage without anything attached to it. We had people pointing out that a balloon that size would not be physically capable of carrying a 6 year old plus its own weight.

And then it was that he was in a box attached to the balloon... the kid obviously didn't have his story straight. As well, we know the family are attention seekers.

I was 95% sure when I first heard this that it was not going to be real.

I'm pretty sure everybody does have it in prespective. I doubt anybody feels any ill will toward the child. All turned out good, and now everyone can relax.

Thank god for the 24 hour news cycle. Otherwise, how would we know that absolutely nothing happened?

Like I said earlier, that picture did not look like something "falling out". It was a still photo so any action inferred was imaginary on the part of the viewer. It was "suggested" by the news that it was something falling from the balloon. For all we know, it was a bird or a ball. It's too fuzzy to tell.

Fair enough, Colorado is a hot-bed for "Box" shaped birds.

In the photo, it looks like a fuzzy ball to me. It doesn't have the resolution to be anything (box, bird, ball or Santa Claus).

I am just saying that there is no evidence that it was a box, or that it was falling from the balloon.

Thank God.. Now Methanolic can end his candle light vigil. I guess you'll have trouble selling all those "remember 10/15/09" t-shirts.
