It's loosing helium at a pretty consistent rate. There are two tethers hanging from it. Maybe they could get skydivers to jump and grab them?
I'm not a mother but this just makes me sick. I can't imagine how scared he must be. And his family.

They've got some wide open spaces where he is...the start of the Great Plains, and he is going southest...better than towards the mountains.

Now it's close to DIA and they've stopped northbound take-offs.
Oh, the thought of the jets makes me sicker......This is just awful.....

Crap. Now they are talking about whether he has fresh air to breath or if it's just helium which would be deadly.

On the positive side, very rural area, not many power lines, visibility very good. Lots of room to maneuver.
