A 6-year-old boy is trapped in an experimental helium balloon 8,500 ft. high over Colorado. I thought at first it's a bad joke - but it's not!! How terrible!!!

Take a look at some of the ANGRY comments on their YouTube account...

This family might not be able to show their face in public for a while.

CNN did a piece on this last night and calculated the whole fiasco cost taxpayers at least $26,000. What a bizarre story.

It reminded me of this story that happened in 1987. A little girl in Texas fell down a well and the whole country was watching her rescue for 58 hours.
