Que?

Is your caps lock button stuck?

I can't turn it on, what's going on?

I live in the Uk with no television stream, whats going on?

Are you referring to the six-year-old boy in the hot air balloon hauling ass over Colorado?

Id imagine he's talking about this, pretty crazy. Poor kid:

Oh my god! That is so terrifying!

What? WHAT?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT?!?!?!?!

People need to learn how to scroll.

I can't tell if the TC thinks this is funny or he is in utter shock...

Meh, I was hoping for aliens

Sucks to be that kid, but I will admit I laughed a bit (I am a terrible person)

This is my dream come true!

well, that was weird. A 6 yr. old kid crawled inside a balloon aircraft and it floated away, but there's a chance the kid may have fell out according to some analyst.

poor kid :( but why did i still laugh a bit :x

Maybe I'll flip to CNN when I go upstairs to have lunch. If I can figure out which channel CNN is on. It might be interesting to see a kid in a balloon.
 
I don't watch TV much, and when I do, it's not the news.

Schaudenfreude people, shaudenfreude.
 
To be honest I really don't see the humour in it. I mean that.

This is fucking hilarious.

" This is fucking hilarious. "

Boring...

This is amazing.

He could be going for the White House for all they know.  They should send a couple of F-15s to blow it out of the sky.

I'm guessing it's a helium balloon, according to CNN so he might die from aspyhxiation.

He's living the dream, folks.

Oh my god. Frightening for the kid. Shame the basket he's in is like 5mm thick plywood. If it was stable and had a window that would be the coolest thing ever.

That aircraft looks like something straight out of Mythbusters.

poor kid, but why did he do that?  I would have thought by the age of six you'd be smart enough to avoid doing things like jumping off cliffs, playing on the highway, and climbing into an air balloon and undoing the rope.

That sucks for the kid.  8,000+ feet in the air in Colorado especially this time of year isn't the most desirable conditions.

It just landed. :D

Just landed, hope this ends well

So if he dies, does he or his parents get the darwin award?

The kid is on the ground....is he alive? Is he even there?

The kid disapeared!

Yep, the kid is not in the balloon...poor kid. He's dead or can fly, those are the only options.

No one in there afterall.

Jesus.

Apparently he wasn't inside the balloon when it landed. They say a sibling may have seen him fall out of it earlier.

" I can't tell if the TC thinks this is funny or he is in utter shock... "

He probably fell out a mile from his house.

In this case he could've fell out, which is worse.

The CNN anchors are complete baffoons.
 
The woman: "Well, this is the best case scenario, really, that he wasn't in the balloon."
 
Yeah, totally. Much better now that his location is completely unknown and his safety cannot be confirmed.

Things definitely aren't looking good. Poor kid.
