    Happening right now. Insane. The poor kid is by himself in some home made ballon.

    so did the kid launch it himself, or did the adult forget to get in with him, or what?

    It's starting to visibly deflate. That poor kid must be scared s**tless.

    If it's a slow deflate he'll descent a lot safer.

    Fox News says it's not even supposed to fly. The area he's sitting in is made of plywood. Not good for a landing.

    Seems like the kid launched it himself. If he did it on purpose, he's my new hero.

    I don't think there's a kid in there, just look at it.

    I was thinking the same thing, but the kid is 6. He doesn't weigh much.

    Did the kid just land that thing purposely? It looked like a speed retardation and smooth drop.
