    On sky news around ten mins ago, the anchor guy said; report just in that the 6 year old child is in a critical condition and we will keep you posted if any update....

    then cut for break....

    Sounds like Sky wants to bring people back after the break.

    From most of the news sites sounds like hes still missing, although CNN is reporting that a sheriff's deputy saw something fall from the balloon. And MSNBC is saying that his family was ''science obsessed'' seriously you couldn't make this stuff up.

    fox news also paraphrased obama the other day so dont take it too seriously:

    Fox news quoted, "[I do not] not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honoured by this prize". :rolleyes:

    Yes it was empty ages ago when it came down LIVE on tv!

    They think the child fell out of the balloon in the air

    Just pulled this of CNN ''the Heene devote(s) their time to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm.” they were the 100th episode on Wife Swap in the US back in March.

    Methinks ABC is going to be re-running that episode very soon.

    lol i knew a thread on this would be made in After Hours. For some reason this made me think of the episode of The Simpsons with the astroid that's about to his earth and Bart makes the Skinner ballon. When I saw the ballon coming down and the guy catching it. I immiedately thought of Skinner saying "noooooooooooooooooo"

    Reminds me of the one where Bart pretends little Timmy O'Toole is trapped down the well and Sting gets a charity record during the dig to save him, but it's all a big hoax by Bart !
