Breaking News kid trapped in hot air balloon

[Matt Foley]

math time...

the balloon was 20 x 5. about 1,500 cubic feet. helium can lift about an ounce per cubic foot. so that's about 93 pounds. google says 6 year old boys weigh 50ish pounds.

so it could've lifted him. but it would've been weighted down, and the balloon in the video was flying pretty easily.

What if the kid sucked on helium before getting in?

Then it would've flown and they'd've found a dead kid inside.

That would have happened anyway. 2hours without Oxygen says he would have been dead.

I can't believe the Sheriff is believing this was an accident.

Sounds like he was bluffing to keep their trust.

Records show that police have responded to the house at least twice in the past year, including a possible domestic violence incident in February. No charges were filed.

This family has more drama than an Amy Winehouse/Courtney Love girls night out.

So he got trolled by the police?

He would have had oxygen he didnt get over 10000 ft.
