6 year old boy floats away..

90% sure he died. The police reported pegs sticking out of the baloon that would have been attached to the basket the boy was in.
 
yes

leave it /b/ to come up with something this good this fast

+vibes to the kid and fam hope it all works out
 
been doing some math and I am 80% sure that there is no way that could have lifted off the ground at Colorado altitude and a weight of 60 lbs for the boy. just not enough volume.
 
what if it turns out to be something like district 9?

like... what if the box fell off, and someone saw it fall off, but they can never find it. Then, the box is going to emerge 32 years later and go to the baloon, then fly to the parents house (with the 38 year old inside)

that would be epic
 
ya there was a mythbusters episode like this. it took an assload of weather balloons to get one little girl off the ground. NO WAY that that dinky little ufo thing lifted the kid off the ground.
 
if anyone wants to try to calculate this the formula is this.

Volume*28.2/448. Then calculate for air density in Denver which would subtract lift.
 
"The balloon was owned by the boy's parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene, who are storm chasers and also appeared on the ABC reality show "Wife Swap."
 
if someone would have just sat down for 2 fucking seconds and ran the numbers they would have seen that there was no way that that balloon could have reached that altitude or even lifted off with that volume of helium.

I even called 9 news after it landed and told them that. ass holes.
 
I am pissed that the dad, the scientist, who has worked on this thing and knows it capacity, thought it could lift a 60 pound kid.
 
dude has his balloon on the news all day long, got to track where it went for free, etc.

i think he's pretty fucking smart.
 
this is going to start a whole revolution. I can just see it...

Dude I just landed a 1440!

No way man that is amazing!

Actually, I was just hiding in the attic...

WTF?

 
Oh my these are the 3 boys in a rap video, i can hardly believe it real but i am 98% sure that its real.

Haha is this the crazy family that did the wife swap like 4 times? Haha that family is so fucked up from the episodes I saw with them in it (idk why I was watching it but i did). The kid literally looks like the id "controling the southern hempisphere" haha.
 
that kid fuckin sucks. he hid in a box for a few hours while his parents almost had heart attacks, and the whole denver area panicked too.
