Just got word of another catastrophic failure of a helium balloon.
Details are sketchy, but it appears that a homemade helium balloon (possibly made with Weatherby parts, possibly filled with Weatherby factory helium) was accidentally launched, with the potential to carry a 6 year old kid and drop him, causing irreparable damage.
the kid was not on board, but is probably mentally crippled for life, and lucky to be alive.
It all appears to be a hoax, but do you know of any other such hoaxes? I'd appreciate details.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
