"um....we did it for the show..."
YouTube - "Balloon Boy" Falcon Henne Admits: "We Did This For The Show"
Amazing
Was this a publicity stunt or just a horribly unfortunate and bizarre series of events?
More from a local news channel that covered the event live.
Dad's first phone call to KUSA? I think he later said he also called the FAA.
Dad built the balloon. Dad is a "storm-chaser."
Son was hiding in his "favorite hiding spot" (and they didn't think to look there).
Family a two-time hit on the popular TV show "Wife Swap."
Balloon incapable of carrying more than about 40 pounds of weight.
Balloon basket had no place for a child to stow away.
Dad furious with Wolf Blitzer for wanting to ask what the child meant when he said "we did it for the show."
I dunno - all sounds very fishy...
