Oh, stop it! Nobody would have planned something like this. A little boy is quite likely dead or seriously injured after falling out of the aircraft. I'm sure the family is completely panicked right now.
I hope you're wrong about the little boy and right about the family. The sheriff's department is saying there are indications the boy was never in the balloon.

Clearly you missed my previous post about the real possibility of the kid NEVER being IN the balloon in the first place.
I use to try to do this when i was a kid so i think thats why its so funny to me.
Got it As well as the newscasters interspersed all of this drama with "information came from little boy's brother." No, it's not funny - if it were true.
According to the weather channel news just now, there was no boy. Supposedly that older kid told a 'story'. Of course that part is unconfirmed but they brought the balloon down and it was empty. Unless at some point he opened the door and fell out?? Gawd I hope not. But the door was still shut when it landed so who knows.
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flown all around
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I flew in a ballon filled with hot air.
In... west Colorado born and raised
in the backyard is where I spent most of my days
soarin and swoopin all cool
and flyin a balloon instead of bein in school
when a couple of tethers
where up to no good
made me fly up out my neighborhood
Went on one little flight and my dad got scared
said "My sons in that basket up in the air"
So.. whistled for a chopper and when it came near
The side said 'Channel 9' and it had guys in there
If anything i could say that this situation was rare,
but i thought ' ah forget it, jump out, no care.'
I landed on the ground from about 7 or 8
and yelled to the news crew "yo homes, find me later"
I was finally there,
to sit in my basket and the king of hot air.
The father seems to be a publicity seeker: Wife Swap, CNN I-Reports, some kind of a science "show" online ... I hope this is not some publicity stunt. I also hope that the little boy is hiding somewhere nearby the house and alright, and just a little afraid to go home.
