While green revels in the “I’m smarter than you” good feelings, they’re wrong about how red should have listened to them. They offered no advice, merely asked a question, which was a bit of a stupid question as red clearly had designed a method (albeit insufficient) to retrieve the camera. Green’s best earlier response would have been “What will you do to get the camera back if the line breaks?” and THEN could probably have said “should’ve listened to me”. As it stands nope sorry green – invalid followup comment.
Nope, he offered no suggestions about a parachute or locating beacon.
Stupid is as stupid does. Still stupid, thinking someone might return the device if found at all.
To be fair, if you calculate just how many balloons you need and we can predict the rate at which helium escapes the balloons, we can predict how long the mass of balloons would lift the camera before they started drifting back down. However, given how physics loves to prove a scientist wrong, one still needs some kind of foolproof backup plan, like attaching a fishing line to the balloon and keeping your hand on the fishing pole, and just following the camera.
Which’d be almost impossible in a city setting, admittedly.
Assuming the 335 yards of line are attached to the camera at one end and the balloons on the other. Seems more likely it was attached to the camera and balloons on one end and to something on the ground on the other. Of course, before long it was attached to the camera and balloons on one and and nothing on the other…

It’s not dumb if you do it for the lulz.
If you fail to plan, you plan to FAIL.
And you can also plan on landing on a site like this one.

Reply button fail. This is in response to nibble.

….wondering how the fishing line “burnt out” …
ran out of gas?
Swear fail
lame
omg the flying poo is back!
i think it’s about time to pull the plug on f.A.i.l.b.o.0.k.
*SLAP*
I suppose you heard about our glorious leader’s alteration of the m-deration filters? You can say bo and jibble now at least.
Justin case your into that kind of thing.
I’m into Justin Case. Does that count?
I believe the correct response is “butt plug is not connected to life support”

Doubt you’ll find any planes flying over NYC at 1000′, unless landing or taking off.
“You have should have listen to me?” Even if red had tried to listen to green, he probably “would have not have understand” him.
All the really cool kids attach cameras to kites.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

“A few hours later- I was walking down the road and these ballons came out of nowhere. Oh look a free camera!”
Several people in NYC just went searching for a free camera
The real fail is thinking you’re going to hit a plane at only 1000′ feet.
Heh.
Brooklyn.
Lost camera.
If found, please call or mail.
Heh.
Well, someone’s getting a free camera.
They accidentally the grammar.
If the balloons are 1000 feet up and the camera is on 335 yards of line, then the camera is on the ground. 335 yards is 1005 feet.
Feet? Yards? I am You’re-a-peen and what is this?
Maybe he meant the line broke?
Assuming the 335 yards of line are attached to the camera at one end and the balloons on the other. Seems more likely it was attached to the camera and balloons on one end and to something on the ground on the other.

WTH is a ballon??????? (Geez….)
