Yeah, I have been watching it since it started.

I want to see the rescue effort and see how they get him down. My 2 ideas have consisted of a skydive team and a bomber deploying a weighted net.

Seriously though, I hope this poor kid ends up safe and sound.

The Balloon has landed and the boy wasn't inside.

I'm pinned to the tube over this. He wasn't inside. His little ass had better be hiding under the bed. This is horrible.

So now they are saying he may have never gotten inside. I really hope that's the case.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)

After discovering the empty balloon: "Officials from the Larimar County Sheriff's office were searching for the boy around the family's home and neighborhood. Just east of family house, volunteers were walking through the nearby treeline calling out the boy's name."

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)

When I was a wee lad, my parents once pissed me off so bad, I ran out of the house at night and told them I was running away. I crawled under a car across the street and hid there and watched while my parents looked for me.

I sure hope this kid shows up in similar fashion.
