7. Makes sense
probably released the balloon and hid because he was afraid he was in trouble.

16. That's good news.
After watching some of the coverage since the balloon came down, I'm not surprised.

19. He was hiding in the attic per MSNBC.



Probably thought he was in trouble for letting the ballon get away.

32. Which, apparently was "not unusual" for him . . .
So why didn't they look there first?

29. Glad he's OK. I fully expect the attention-whore parents to milk the publicity out of this, though.
