Weather Balloon Falls On School Campus, Hurts Boy
The family of a 12-year-old boy says he was hurt by a weather balloon that fell from the sky Tuesday afternoon and landed on the campus of Niver Creek Middle School in Thornton.
The 12-year-old student said he saw the balloon fall and ran over to see what it was and when he picked it up he received an electric shock. School administrators brought the balloon into the school. Not knowing what it was initially, they called the fire department. School officials soon realized, reading a label on the balloon that read, "This is a harmless weather instrument" and "Property of the National Weather Service" that the device was part of a weather balloon.
The fire department confirmed that it was a National Weather Service balloon and transported the boy to a nearby hospital as a precaution. The boy had complained of numbness in his hands but is now OK, said the boy's father, Bill Bunney. National Weather Service spokesman Byron Lewis said in his 30 years with the NWS he has never heard of anyone being injured by a weather balloon.
