There is Video of the father watching the ballon take off.?
 

The boy is 60 lbs. the half inflated weather balloon is 20' wide. Fuck that's a simple calc.

and he is a scientist?

I am madder at the news for STILL arguing.

Also, it's not like some super techy experimental balloon. You can buy it as a kit online, lmfao.

So glad they didn't put the blinders on me with this BS story..

the father still says he thought he was inside when he saw it lift up. The kid didn't yell for help?

listen the only reason I keep fucking posting this is 'couse the news still hasn't said it was a scam out right.

Ugh! Can't fucking stand liars. The kid even said "we did it for the show."

I think the balloon was for some show stunt. Not the kid inside of it idea.
Do keep in mind, daddy is a fucking nutjob. I mean it takes seriously skill to end up on WifeSwap not once but to come back a second time as a viewer nightmare hook up. Being on there even once says so much about a person, that well yeah he is fucking nuts.

Will be 100% hard for any agency with money to really say 100% it was a scam or stunt without possible trouble. If he was willing to do the balloon shit, you know he would get some lawyers for more publicity.

I just think he was going to use the balloon for some UFO stunt to get some coverage for a possible show. Little brat got all excited, almost all of them are attention whores - and launched the fucker early.

We all know if you watch myth busters and caught the lawn chair balloon flight episode. How many helium tanks and balloons that took. Even if the kid was only a 6th of Adams weight it still is a shit load to gain any real lift.
