"Balloon Boy" Parents Recall Finding Falcon Safe And Sound

On "Larry King Live," the parents of 6-year-old Falcon Henne a.k.a. "Balloon Boy" recall the joyful moment when they discovered their son was alive, and not on a runaway balloon.

Richard Henne heard his wife scream when she saw Falcon, which prompted him to also scream and drop to his knees.

Mayumi thought she was dreaming when she saw him. "I was speechless," she said.

"He scared the daylights out of us," Richard told Wolf Blitzer. "I just asked him to please never do that again."

Says his older brother Bradford on seeing Falcon alive: "I thought it was awesome."

Yeah he does. I think the reason why these jerks got so much press in the first place is because everyone knew from jump that they were lying, and wanted to make them look ridiculous and see how far they would take it. Besides, it is the hottest piece of comedy right now.

The middle boy says "don't say" at 42 seconds. These parents are jerks .
