UPDATE: Live Video

So, right now, over Colorado, this kid is flying away in a helium balloon. I hope this story ends with a happy ending, but that is so badass it hurts if he makes it. Can you imagine? Dude is like TinTin right now.

Apparently he and his Dad were working on this thing and during lunch he apparently just got in it and pressed the lever, or what have you, and flew away. He’s currently somewhere by the Denver airport right now. We shall keep you posted with updates.

Thanks to CBS for the tip!
