Well its sad that this little six year old boy has gone missing but I have a question? What the hell is this family doing with a homemade balloon. Unless these people are meteoroligist they have no reason to have a balloon. Well, after reading some articles apparently the young boys father is a person that chases storms.
In a 2007 interview with The Denver Post, Richard Heene described becoming a storm chaser after a tornado ripped off a roof where he was working as a contractor and said he once flew a plane around Hurricane Wilma's perimeter in 2005.
Pursuing bad weather was a family activity with the children coming along as the father sought evidence to prove his theory that rotating storms create their own magnetic fields.
Although Richard said he has no specialized training, they had a computer tracking system in their car and a special motorcycle.
The Heene family appeared twice on the ABC reality show "Wife Swap," most recently in February. - Associated Press
Not only is this story sad (and hopefully they find this kid alive and well...but how about dad stops paying so much attention to building balloons and chasing storms and spend more time watching his 6 year-old.
UPDATE: Happy to see that they found the little boy. But let this be a lesson to DIYers, once you have kids no more chasing storms, building homemade balloons. and who names their kid Falcon?
