djroge1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 A boy climbed into a helium balloon his parents built as an experimental craft and the boy somehow released the rope that was holding it down. Just north of Denve. It climbed as high as 8,500 feet and now at 500 feet and descending rapidly. Watch live on MSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you have a minute' date=' you may want to shoot off a quick word to Mr. Big upstairs for this little boy.[/quote'] Very good idea. I hope the boy is just hiding because he is scare that he's going to get in trouble for letting the balloon lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The father is a "storm chaser", like those crazy people in the movie "Twister". I saw an interview with him and he came across as slightly nuts and irresponsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
