CNN apparently about to show a pic in a few moments of something being detached...?

Yeah they just showed it, no idea if it is a basket.

A large part of the American media is just so completely inept. The TV news especially seems consistently behind on this. A couple minutes spent on google searches tell you just about everything you need to know about this family.

This striking thing comes up as a torrent of a movie the parents have created:

2012 Earth Destruction Best Evidence.The Psyience Detectives.2008.60m.flv*******
info: 1 full hour!!
The Psyience Detectives submit the best evidence from NASA and the World governments to find out if our planet is scheduled for a major catastrophy in 2012.
What is our government doing to get ready for planet x, topics include:
Southpole telescope,Electromagnetic Fields, Pole reversals, underground cities and 1400 mile an hour maglev.800 fima camps & solar cycles.

Hosts are Richard Heene, Scott Stevens, and Barb Slusser. Edited by Mayumi Heene, The Science Detectives


It turns out they're pretty heavily into pseudoscience (and of course the news keeps labeling them 'scientists' anyway, as if it was their profession). The rest of this stuff is from the Denver Post via AP:

The Post said Heene is part of a group called the Psyience Detectives. The Psyience Detectives "investigate and conduct experiments about the mysteries of science and psychic phenomenon," according to their Web site.


It seems they included the kids into some of the more hands on stuff:

Falcon, along with his two older brothers Ryo and Bradford, have accompanied their father chasing storms out West, the Post reported in a 2007 profile that depicts the entire Heene family as adventurers. Richard Heene described an incident when the family was caught in a tornado that July. "I think I have odd kids. They start screaming with excitement," Heene told the paper.


Right, 'odd kids', not odd parents. Then there's this tidbit:

Bob Licko, 65, a neighbor, said he was leaving home when he heard commotion in the backyard.

He said he saw two boys on the roof with a camera, commenting about their brother.

"One of the boys yelled to me that his brother was way up in the air," Licko said.


On the roof with a camera. Amazing.

Great news. Makes the whole thing much less amazing/dramatic, but it's the best news anyone could hope for.
