Balloon Boy's Parents Busted on CNN

On Thursday October 15th 2009, the news was filled with the reports about a balloon floating over Colorado that had a child trapped inside.  Authorities spent a good part of the day trying to figure out what to do to get the boy home safely.  By the end of the day it was announced that the boy was in the garage the whole time and not in the balloon as originally thought.  Everyone was relieved that the boy was safe.

However, the question arose as to why the parents did not look in the garage and why the boy did not come out...  Well the truth came out in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN..

When asked why he did not come out of hiding when everyone was calling for him Falcon (the boy believed to be in the balloon) said "You guys said that we did this for the show."..   Wolf heard what he said but played dumb and asked the parents to clarify what Falcon said, they did a poor job of covering it up.  Something tells me that there will be an investigation and that there will be some trouble coming for this family.

See for yourself...

You see though, this only goes to show that pulling cheap publicity stunts and making up stories does not work and eventually the truth comes out...


Can you say BUSTED....
