Henne Family Under Fedearal Invesitagtion for Balloon “Incident”
How silly is it that this kid is now known as Balloon Boy? He wasn’t even in the balloon for god sakes. The kid is 6 years old and the media call him BALLOON BOY.
Anyways, these his parents are probably in a bit of trouble. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the supposed “hoax” of flying a balloon that they said had their 6 year old son, Falcon in it. I didn’t pay much attention to it, but I had the image of people running around under it with outdoor cushions trying to catch him when he fell.
The two-hour flight of the balloon on Oct. 15 – feared then to be carrying 6-year-old Falcon Heene of Fort Collins – it crossed through air space above both Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport and Denver International Airport (DIA). In the case of DIA, northbound plane departures were delayed for less than half-an-hour.
Local authorities also opened a criminal investigation, and Falcon’s parents Richard and Mayumi Heene are expected to surrender to face possible felony charges of trying to influence a public official and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
