REALITY COUPLE CAUGHT UP IN HIGH-FLYING DRAMA
Former U.S. reality TV couple RICHARD and MAYUMI HEENE became part of a major American news item on Thursday (15Oct09) when their six-year-old son was feared to have taken off in a homemade balloon.
News networks halted programming to follow the balloon across Colorado.
It was believed little Jordan Heene smuggled himself into a small compartment on the craft and untethered it from the family's back garden.
His parents, who created the balloon to help them in their passion for storm chasing, once appeared on ABC reality show Wife Swap.
The craft was in the air for almost an hour before it landed in a field. The boy was not onboard the craft.
As WENN went to press, the six year old was still missing.

So eager (like many other outlets) to be among the first to post about this
story, you don't care about checking facts, even the most basic ones. In the
push to hog up a share of the click-through markets you don't give a damn about
truth of this story, or the possible tragedy FALCON (not Jordan) Heene may have
suffered. You truly blow.
