I have been watching this and don't really see it ending well. He's at 8500 ft. and has to be freezing right now. If he somehow survives, it'll be a miracle.
Won't somebody please think about the children,....oh wait.
I hope he survives.

Horrible. I have no idea how this could end well. Blimp rescue?
jeez....This will have to involve someone rappelling down from a helicopter into it with him.
where's Inspector Gadget when you need him?
About 7,500 feet ago.
Now they are saying it's at 11,000 feet. He's gonna run out of oxygen soon.
that's a tragic event.
Wow this is crazy.
A Bell 412 maxes out at about 14000 ft. It's doable....but not likley.
Poor little guy.
edit: From the 412 flight manual
This reminds me of the Payne Stewart incident.
I wonder if they got something big...like a chinook or a skycrane, if they hovered over it, if they could push it down with the downwash......
What's wrong with me? My palms are sweaty thinking about all this.

It seems like if were being pushed down by the prop, it would become unstable and possibly flip over or wad up.
That was my first thought.
Or an old man with a house and a talking dog named Dug.
It's on the ground.....
The kids name was Falcon.
Irony to the white courtesy phone...

Hhmmm...I just tuned in and the balloon is on the ground but the firefighters aren't opening it. The boy must not be in there.
It's empty
no basket, no child. better backtrack in a hurry
It would be awesome if the kid were never in there.
I'm hoping that's what happened...
He probably freaked out when the balloon took off and is hiding somewhere.........I hope.
ABC sis a liar.

That kid is in SOOOOOOOOO much trouble.
sounds like they found "a body"
How much money is spent on this?
The unrelated spending of companies having monkeys watching this at work must be in the 20-30 dollar range.

What else are we going to do?
Work?
I never have before.
