Culture BuzzA 6-year-old boy named Falcon Heene climbed into a homemade helium balloon and accidentally took off. The balloon has landed, but Falcon wasn't inside, suggesting he fell during the flight. UPDATE: the local sheriff says: “The basket itself was not breached.” But also: there was a box attached to the balloon with pegs, and it fell off, and Falcon was allegedly in the box. So. FINAL UPDATE, ONE HOPES: He was found at home, safe and sound and hiding out.

That Wife Swap was on just the other day and the parents were exactly the kind you'd expect to let their kids wander into an untethered, illegal, helium aircraft while unsupervised.
