I've been finding some levity in this otherwise sad and serious episode in the Wile E. Coyote schemes I am reading in this thread. All we're missing is an ACME box and some dynamite.

Looks like it may have had a hard landing—not a tree in sight. TV saying it may be down already. Rescue vehicles speeding to some destination.

Something doesn’t seem right to me. A six year old boy weighs... what... 50 or 60 lbs? If that thing is only 20 feet in diameter I don’t think that’s enough helium to lift him. Maybe... but my hunch is no.
The way it’s floating and bobbing makes me wonder if it is empty.
At least... I hope it turns out he’s not in there. That’s the best outcome of this.

I hope he is really just down the street at a buddy’s house wathcing the whole thing on TV.

You sure did hear that — living a couple of miles from the US Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center, I thought some of the storm chasers would do almost anything but this takes the cake. Made to track storms and his son climbs into this?

[Id bet this thing will be down within 15 minutes.]
Even if it comes down slow, it would be a very rough landing for a child!
