概要
Send us a text
In October 2009, a homemade silver balloon drifted across the Colorado sky as the entire country watched in horror. Authorities feared a six-year-old boy was trapped inside as news helicopters followed the balloon live. What began as a terrifying rescue mission quickly became one of the most infamous media moments of the 2000s.
In this episode of True Crime Teacher Time, we talk about the Balloon Boy case exactly as the world experienced it, moment by moment, saving the shocking truth for the very end. Along the way, we unpack the media panic it created and how this case could have happened in today’s TikTok era.
