Balloon boy vomits on live television on The Today Show (video)
Yesterday people were riveted to their tv sets watching a homemade balloon (shaped like a flying saucer and looking like it came right out of a science fiction movie) fly away with a little boy, Falcon, 6 years old in it. Was it a hoax or was this a stunt by a family that is looking for publicity.
Police, soldiers and the air force were involved in watching this balloon go on a 50 mile journey. Would the little boy fall out from the balloon, would it land safely? 50 miles and 4 hours later the answer was revealed: tThe balloon landed safely but without any little boy. It seems Falcon was hiding in the attic of his family's garage in Fort Collins, Colorado, the whole time.
Wolf Blitzer, who was the host of the Larry King Show last night, asked Falcon if he had heard his frantic family calling his name, and if he had why he hadn't come out of his hiding place. Falcon answered, "We did it for the show".
Ummm.
Falcon's father, Richard Heene, a retired weatherman, adamently denied suggestions that the episode was a publicity stunt deliberately engineered by the family, who have appeared on reality show Wife Swap on two occasions.
