Now they are saying there had been a small box hanging from the bottom of the balloon when it got loose. The kid may have been in that and it came loose sometime before the helo's started following it.

CNN just reported that the boy has been found alive and well. He was hiding because he thought he'd be in trouble.

I found this absolutely the funniest 3 hours of television in my entire life.....  Talk about tabloid!!
One of the "experts" on MSNBC said the kid is probably suffering from hypoxia!!! LMAO  Ok, hypoxia at a few thousand feet....lol
And then he says that at 3000 feet, the air is only 30 degrees!!  WHAT A sweetheartMASTER!!!  
AND THEN, MSNBC  didn't show the balloon gently touching the ground(they said it crashed) for fear of a blue, oxygen starved 6 year old falling out...LMAO
To watch the sweetheartbags from CNN and MSNBC rattle off nonsense, prejudging the parents, already labeling them as bad....
What was even funnier was the people they got on the phone who pretty much couldn't give them any other facts....lol
They kept on asking this one "balloon expert" the same 3 questions 200 different ways....  My gods....  Our news media is a joke...lmao

Umm, Anodizer, not to ruin your math or understanding of altitudes but Denver and the Ft Collins area is at about 5800 ASL + the 3000  is 8800 above sea level and I believe vertical limit is 14800....if he would of been in that ridiculous contraption, he would have been in trouble.  Check your altitude/temp decrease charts and O2 levels at whatever alt the balloon was at PLUS 5800 ft. Just FYI
