http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...,7526459.story A 6-year-old boy climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft and floated away near Fort Collins, Colo., forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue him. Live footage from a TV helicopter showed the balloon moving swiftly through the air. The aircraft, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet.

The circumstances are unknown, but the parents should be locked up. I hope the kid comes out okay

It's also spinning pretty hard - poor kid must have repainted it with barf. He'll be traumatized for a while
