A 6-year-old boy climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft in Colorado and floated away today, forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue the boy as the balloon hurtled through the air

Crashed down but was empty.  Article says the whole thing was caught on video so maybe the child was never really on it.  Here's hoping.

That makes me feel like barfing. That's super sad if he really was in it. Now I'm worried :-\

Says on the news he was found alive and well. He was never in the balloon.
