Re: 6 year old loose in a balloon
Yep, that sounds expensive!The alleged stunt temporarily shut down Denver International Airport, and the National Guard provided two helicopters in an attempt to rescue 6-year-old Falcon Heene, who was believed to be inside the flying-saucer shaped homemade balloon that hurtled more than 50 miles across two counties.

Re: 6 year old loose in a balloon
Similar to a case thats happening in Western Australia as we speak, some douche faked a mayday call from a 'sinking boat', so he could get his jollies off as a volunteer rescuer. $50 000 later in 8 boats, a plane and a helicopter, it was revealed to be a hoax. They are trying to charge him that cost (as well as some jail time I think). The big one is volunteer firefighters though, some of the little turds go and light fires so they have something to fight, nevermind those houses and families put in incredible danger. Little bastards should be strung up.

The Victorian Bushfires were the worst. People lost their lives to deliberately lit fires. Entire neighbourhoods.Sma11wood wrote:Similar to a case thats happening in Western Australia as we speak, some douche faked a mayday call from a 'sinking boat', so he could get his jollies off as a volunteer rescuer. $50 000 later in 8 boats, a plane and a helicopter, it was revealed to be a hoax.

While thats true, the person found to be responsible for the lighting of the victorian bushfires had some serious mental disability.
