Seriously....who has a 20 foot silver balloon tethered to their house. Little Timmy climbs on board and flies away....that's some surreal humor there. Yeah, I guess I've got a pretty dark sense of humor at times.

I hope some miracle happens and the kid's OK, of course...

Yeah....in the UK the Balloon Union still wouldn't have issued a permit and the damn thing would never float anyway.

Had the boy gotten safely out of the balloon, I would have been with Hogwash chuckling about this. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he got carried away with optimism.

I'm sure our thoughts are with the family in hope for some sort of happy ending.

At the time I posted that, nobody knew what had happened...the surreal situation kinda tickled me though. I'm not going to feel guilty about it - absent mens rea and all that ;)

How would Magyver have survived that?

Using his belt buckle prong to poke a small hole in the balloon and allowing small amounts of helium to escape, slowly lowering him to the ground.
