Falcon Heene, aka Ballon Boy, became suspiciously ill on both Good morning America and The Today Show this morning while his father was being questioned about the validity of their story.
The family found themselves in the middle of a national news story yesterday when an experimental helium balloon somehow got loose from the Heene’s backyard and the family reported their 6-year-old son, Falcon, was riding in it. His father, Richard Heene, builds experimental “low-altitude vehicles” and was working on one when it was set adrift. The boy’s older brothers told their parents he was in the balloon and united the tethers. When the balloon finally landed, the boy wasn’t there but was actually in the Heene’s attic because “his dad yelled at him”.
