Falcon Heene ‘Balloon Boy’ is a big hoax
October 23rd, 2009 - 2:15 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattColorado, Oct 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Falcon Heene ‘the balloon boy’ is literally in the eye of a storm. His fame hungry parents have thrust him into the limelight with their infamous Balloon Boy stunt and he has now to bear the brunt of it all.
There is media all over the place, even a week after the infamous incident happened. The whole world wants to know what are they going to do next, what are they planning etc. Reporters and photographers, on assignment with major websites, channels and newspapers such as “Entertainment Tonight,” “Inside Edition” and the online celebrity news Web site Splash News, remained stationed outside the Heene residence with their cameras mounted and ready, in anticipation for the family’s next move.
It may be recalled that, Mayumi Heene and Richard Heene are the parents of the ‘Balloon Boy’ Falcon Heene. Mayumi’s husband Richard had built a helium balloon at home. His son, Falcon climbed into the balloon and was assumed to have floated away. A massive search operation was launched which included helicopters and even the airport was shut down for over 2 hours. Later it was found that all this was a cheap publicity stunt, as the boy Falcon Heene was safe in his house hiding in the attic.
Richard Heene, is said to be experimental scientist and a storm chaser and reportedly designed the experimental weather balloon. The couple has three children: Bradford, Ryo Heene and Falcon Heene. Richard and Mayumi met in acting school in Hollywood and have twice appeared on ABC’s reality show “Wife Swap.”
