6-Year-Old trapped in hot air ballon crashes - NO BOY

THERE WAS NO BOY IN THE BALLOON!
(CNN) -- Officials are concerned that a 6-year-old boy who drifted away in a homemade helium balloon on Thursday may already have fallen out of it, an undersheriff said.


The dome-shaped balloon is 20 feet long and 5 feet high, Larimer County Sheriff's Office says.

1 of 2 Margie Martinez of the Weld County Sheriff's Office said a sibling saw Falcon Heene climb into the basket before the balloon took off from his parents' Fort Collins, Colorado home.

Since the door on the balloon was unlocked, it's possible the boy had fallen out, Martinez said.

The balloon appeared to be a saucer-shaped, Mylar-coated helium balloon, similar to a party balloon. The craft was drifting eastward, authorities said. Watch the balloon float thousands of feet over Colorado »

The helium balloon was tethered to the boy's family home, the Larimer County Sheriff's Department said. The boy got into the craft Thursday morning and undid the rope anchoring it.

The department said the dome-shaped balloon is 20 feet long and 5 feet high.

"The structure at the bottom of the balloon that the boy is in is made of extremely thin plywood and won't withstand any kind of a crash at all," said Erik Nilsson, Larimer County emergency manager, according to CNN affiliate KMGH.
FRANTIC SEARCH TO FIND THE BOY HAS BEGUN!

You're land is shit,it's a cesspool and the politicians are even worse not to mention your country is falling apart because of your terrible economy. In Worls war 2 Canada was fighting with the british and the french 2 years before the chicken shit usa joined the war...so fuck you!!
