The boy was apparently in a "basket" attached to the balloon. Said basket was not attached when the balloon landed.

Uh!

[Nerik]

Found alive! Was at home in the attic lol

[Anubis]

The little bastard. Punish him by putting him in the balloon and lettting it go.

 

EDIT : Hang on, so let me get this straight? EVERYBODY goes into crazy panic mode on the word of his brother? But NOBODY searches the fucking house properly?

[Nerik]

Apparently very common that kids do that. House had been searched before too.

[odris]

In a box in the attick, easy to miss if he was so scared.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Thank God. His parents must be so relieved.

[Hooch]

Fuge was right. Repped.

[Top of the Kop]

Thats a story to tell the grandkids!

[Fugitive]

Fuge was right. Repped.

 

Of course I was.

[Hooch]

Of course I was.

 

Don't be smug.

 

But well done for being right.

[RedKnight]

Glad I missed this, what a waste of time.

[odris]

You shouldn't be glad you missed it, to be honest it was quite exciting watching the cameras following the balloon thing and you could see it slowing down. Then a man jumped out of a car and grabbed the wires to stop it flying off again, then came the wait to see if anyone emerged from within. Finally ending with relief that the boy was safe at home all along.

cRazy story

[Yozzer]

He was in the garage of his house in a box, hahahahaha! All that for nothing - probably the most funny but anti-climactic story on sky news.

[Fugitive]

That Anne Frank tag is fucking great.

 

Who was it????

[Anubis]

In a box in the attick, easy to miss if he was so scared.

Surely it was incumbent upon any law enforcement agancy to conduct a thorough search of the property including any child size containers? Another fuck up by deputies. Let's hope they've patted him down properly in case he's hiding a gun in his pants.

Me Fuge

[halewood pete]

We were watching this in the Spoons before. it was possibly the best live news I've ever seen. The best moment was when the people were twatting the balloon with spades, it's a good job there wasn't a fucking 6 year old in there because if the drop didn't kill him the spades would've

thought exactly the same myself,someone there must have had a penknife or similar to cut the material and let the gas out surely ?

[Fugitive]

Me Fuge

 

Repped, I hope he kept a diary.

[Guest The Big Green Bastard]

deserves to be grounded after that.

I agree. The whole of the Wetherspoons on Walton Vale was watching it. Lots of cheering and gasping and "fucking hell how fast is that going?!" Ace use of my time

[hamstrung]

Better story had he fallen to his death

 

Shame.

[Nerik]

Now this is a miracle

HAHAHA..I've just seen a news interview where the kid appears to say he was told to hide. A big publicity stunt, which the father has denied. But if so, I wonder if he will he be charged for wasting police and rescue services time.

Asked if the incident was a publicity stunt, he answered: "That's horrible after the crap we just went through. No."

 

However, later during a live interview on CNN, when Mr Heene asked his son why he did not come out, Falcon blurted out his claim about doing it all for a show.

 

Asked to clarify the child's comments, Mr Heene apparently bristled and said he did not know what he meant.

 

Mr Heene did admit that the balloon had not been tethered properly. “It was a mishap. I’m not going to lay blame on anybody,” he said.

 

That the boy was found safely at home brought sighs of relief and knowing nods from people who had suspected a prank. The story is unlikely to have an entirely happy ending, however, even if it is found not to have been a hoax. The rescue effort cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, not counting the damage suffered by airlines while their aircraft were forced to divert from the path of Mr Heene’s UFO.

 

Whether it was a stunt or not, the man who describes himself as a “psyience detective”, is about to be presented with a hefty bill. When he receives it, there will be nowhere for his son —- or him —- to hide.
