How bizarre.
I wonder how much this whole episode cost, in terms of diverted/delayed flights, the search effort, etc.

Yeah, I think someone needs to question the older brother a bit more. He was the one who said he saw his little brother climb in the box and later said he saw him fall out (what, and the 1,000,000 people watching it on t.v. missed that?). Seems to me he knew the whole time that little brother wasn't in there.
