What a waste of time in money, in the end it turned out that the kid did it "for the show". Ha! | | | | | 10-19-2009, 12:46 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
I knew the father did it as a hoax.
He's just a publicity seeker.
First Wife Swap, then he is also a storm chaser to get on TV.
I bet Falcon is going to a get beaten for owning is father. __________________ ...steven

That balloon would have had a problem with even a 10 pound bag of potatoes as a stowaway. I saw the video of lift-off of the "kid and balloon" they took themselves, there is no way the kid was in the balloon. | | | | | 10-19-2009, 01:24 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
lol, I watched a little bit of the coverage the other day when the balloon was flying and kept thinking, "man, that balloon must be huge to lift a kid in it". I also couldn't figure out where the kid was in the balloon, in the little bottom part or on top of it? Man, looking back, that story made no sense at all. __________________ ~Dave~
