Balloon Boy, Falcon Heene lights up Twitter,
Twitter was exploding with Tweets on the Balloon Boy Incident today.
Here’s just of few of examples of what we saw today:
Balloon boy story highlights ugliness of reporting news in progress, not TV news excess.
During his time in the attic, “balloon boy” Falcon Heene says he played with toys & took a nap. He got up because he was bored.
I love that the fact they take their kids tornado chasing didn’t even make your Top 3 weird things about Balloon Boy’s parents.
No way! You can already buy Balloon Boy t-shirts.
So how many #NaNoWriMo novels do you think are now going to be inspired by a kid floating in a balloon. Can anyone say “Falcon Heene?”

Factoid from news conference. Falcon Heene will not be grounded by parents after balloon incident.
This just in! Balloon has landed. No sign of Falcon, however, the chupacabra, lochness monster, and Big Foot were found inside.
Genius! : Idea for kidnappers: Release a big balloon, tell media kid inside. Guaranteed 2 hour head start
the boy in the balloon is coming to the intersection in grand rapids tonight. come see him! and us.
Scary to be watching the news about the 6 year old & the balloon – way too close to Henry’s book “Lighter than Air.”
Looks like Balloon boy won at hide-in-go-seek
am going to build a balloon and escape my paperwork
What a coinky dink! They just played Balloon Boy ‘s family’s Wife Swap episode the other day & I turned cuz his parents were effin crazy !
I wondered if the flying saucer balloon project was really big enough to carry a six-year-old, so I did a little math: http://stevewilsonblog.com/2009/10/15/yes-it-couldve-carried-him-maybe.aspx

I had reservations that the boy could be in this balloon. It appeared there was not an entrance. The balloon was not flying like a balloon with weight, which caused me to have even more skepticism. The only problem was the media coverage, and I can say honestly I did not comprehend how severe 9/11 was in the beginning d/t hx of media hype. I had my suspicion about the balloon incident but have been extremely wrong in the 9/11 incident. After the media showed a picture of something that appeared to be falling from the balloon, I was really sick that I had my doubts. The family should have to pay for this hoax. As a nurse that has had to body bag more than 100 deceased people over the years, this was the sickest publicity stunt I’ve ever seen. Do they realize that the emergency workers were working on this, when there were other people in dire need that could have died because of this?
In the video of the balloon being released, I couldn’t make out that there was any basket there. I also noticed that the father is rather dramatic in his storm chaser video’s, much like someone that seeks attention. Could this father be bipolar? The wife appeared sub servant like.
A six year old wouldn’t have been able to pull off this hoax…it was the parent’s. I don’t see how they are going to make any money out of this. I am going to try though. I designed my ‘balloon boy’ tshirt. Check it out at: http://www.tshirtmonster.ca/designer/JoesOysterBar/ Click on the t-shirt to choose your shirt/size/colour, etc.
I can’t believe the media believes my parents instead of me. I’m so sick of all this.
Please follow me if you’re looking for the truth.

It definitely appears this was all a planned event by the parents. The Sheriff just announced that there will likely be charges filed.
