"Just saw a neighbor interviewed that said this was a planned event and that the balloon got away from them."

It was a "planned event" to put a 6 year-old in basket that's attached to a balloon the size of a large hot tub? Are they retarded? If that's true, those parents need to be beaten - severely.

The interviewed neighbor said the plan was for it to hover about 20 feet up. No mention about whether kid was in the balloon or not.

A neighbor said the two brothers were up on the roof with video cameras and they were very sure that their little brother was in the balloon. I posited that they talked him into it, untied the tethers, and got out their cameras.

Is there confirmation that the parents planned this and were present?

Any word on the boy’s condition?
