Falcon Heene Vomits: WATCH Balloon Boy Throw Up On Today & Good Morning America (VIDEO)

Falcon Heene is safe and sound from a flying balloon, but he's got a stomach flu.

As his family did the morning show circuit on Friday, he first vomited during a 'GMA' appearance, which was pretaped. (SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH) He, his two brothers and his parents were appearing via satellite from their Colorado home. As he ran off to the bathroom to vomit, Diane Sawyer encouraged his parents, who both stayed seated, to go after him. Falcon's mom did get up.

Then, live on the "Today" show, he threw up again. As his father Richard was denying the balloon chase of Thursday was hoax, the six-year-old starting puking again. His mom handed him some Tupperware to vomit into, and he did. Meredith Vieira kept talking and his father was cringing as Falcon vomited and his mother wiped his mouth.

The vomiting starts 5:50 into the below clip.

Can we send that whole family away via one of their crafty balloons? Including the vomit...?

The kids all look sick. I'm thinking being up all night or the flu...Oh my God they look awful. Poor kids.
Poor, poor kids...

The media sucks as usual. Poor kid got sick, kids are honest, they dont lie.

I don't know how I managed, but I missed all of the media coverage of this event. Having said that, after reading about the story and then watching the two videos above am repulsed at the parents for dragging their kids out of bed so early to be interviewe­d, TWICE after such a traumatic event (even if it was a hoax) and equally repulsed at Diane Sawyer and Meredith Vieira continued their interviews even though the little boy was vomiting. For me, they sold out this boy for ratings. He was used by everyone.

Can we at least acknowledg­e that at this junction it is speculatio­n and not absolute fact that it was a hoax? I just don't appreciate it when people assumes that they know the whole story and began to pass harsh judgment on others and think that the judicial system is to facilitate revenge on behalf of society. I do not know if this was a hoax or not...and I recognize that I do not know. For those that are convinced without a shadow of a doubt...he­re's a rude awakening to reality...­YOU don't really know either. YOU just think you do. I am not eager to join in and beat up this family. At least not yet.

This whole situation may not have been a hoax to begin with, I'll certainly agree with that. But as usual, it became so sensationa­lized that it "had" to be classified as something to cover up for all the man power used to track down the balloon. Once you throw the boy into the mix, it gets real serious, so whoever came up with that story, needs to be accountabl­e for it. Looks like Dad may have massaged the situation for some publicity, too.

The media is as responsibl­e for blowing this thing out of perspectiv­e as anyone.

Clearly, the media circus is not limited to cable television­.

Despite the many valid points made by previous posters, I am moved to add my own sense of incrudulit­y.

To think of the many important world and national events and issues that go unnoticed and unreported­, and to see the foolish frenzy that becomes the focus of so many for so long is truly heartbreak­ing.

I don't even mind a frequently updated, factual story while people are legitimate­ly concerned for the safety of someone. But this continued spotlight - especially after resolution - only encourages this kind of behavior. Shut it down.

We spent all of yesterday watching this kid's balloon fly away. Now we have to watch him throw up? I want news, not my baby pictures.

This is child abuse, from the parents and from the TV people. Diane and Matt are pathetic. Shame on them!

Sorry, not Matt but Meredith

Surely it doesn't escape followers of this story that the father of this distinguis­hed family unit can't stop referring to himself as the injured victim. While on Larry King he objects to Blitzer's questions, "I AM appalled; after everything I'VE felt and all I'VE been through" - where is his family in all this? And while his poor child is vomiting on his lap, Father of the Year continues the interview despite the boy's obvious misery.

Meanwhile, I'M so upset, I can't stand anymore...

...give ME a break!

all of the kids looked really miserable-­- none of the kids could look anyone in the eye.

I've been under this rock, so I'm just now catching up with this story. The dad acts like a kid who is sitting in the principal'­s office. He didn't stop the interview when the kid upchucked, because he's not sure he's allowed to stop it. Obviously, the interviewe­rs didn't offer to stop it- though I noticed Good Morning America's cameraman was gracious enough to turn the camera back to the interviewe­r. He's trying to convince the world he is a good dad and the situation is just normal family hijinks that got a little out of control. He's also deathly afraid his kids will be removed from his household. He's in the middle of his own trainwreck and he knows it. He's not going to get any reality show out of this. He'll be lucky to keep his wife and kids.

So Sad. | When I found out it was a hoax, my first word: disgusting­.

This father seems controllin­g. He kicked the deck and yelled at his wife and kids.

Ouch.

Seems to me he was coached to throw up if they asked questions about "the show".

I was just passing through and saw some of the replies and had to add that when I first saw the interview and heard the "balloon boy" say that this whole thing was for a TV show, I thought to myself, "Man, when he gets home his dad is going to beat his ass" then when I saw the follow up interview with Diane, I couldnt help but notice that he was the only child that was ill. Is it just me or does anyone else think that it is a slight possibilit­y that they may have given him something to make him sick (prier to the interview ) so that he wouldnt be able to be interviewe­d? If the parents were sick enough to plan this crazy stunt, they are capable of doing just about anything. I really hope that the CPS looks closely into the well being of these children.
