I call publicity stunt on the balloon boy story.
Today there just happens to be home video of the moment the balloon “got away.” Note that there’s no little boy anywhere. Also, check out the balloon. There is no way for a person to get inside. It’s completely sealed. Dad knew this since he designed and built it.
In other words, he knew all along that it was impossible for his son to be inside.
Earlier, the family was on Larry King. When Falcon’s dad asked Falcon why he didn’t come out of his attic hiding place when called, he answered, “Because you said we did this for the show.” This same family has already been on a reality show and profiled on their local news.
Finally, the Larimer County Sheriff says that, when this all went down, Richard Heene first called the FAA, then 9NEWS, and THEN 9-1-1.
BS. And how much did this little stunt cost tax payers?
