U.S.: A former co-worker of balloon dad says the story is full of hot air

  • I just thought he was beginning to push them into some things that were ethically on the edge. … I knew at some point he would create a situation that would bring attention like he’s having right now. I didn’t want to be a part of that.
  • Scott Stevens • A former colleague of “baloon dad” Richard Henne who had a falling out with the storm-chaser over how much he was getting his kids into. Many are strongly convinced that this is a hoax, but Richard Henne stands by his claim that it wasn’t. “We were holding on to every second, hoping that he’s OK,” he said. “I’m not selling anything. This is what we do all the time. I don’t have a can of beans I’m trying to promote.”  • source
