Please pardon my ignorance, but is this 6,000 ft altitude the height above the ground? If so, then I’d guess we’re talking about the oxygen altitude equivalent of ... what — maybe 10-11K given the area? That’s still breathable, but less so for a panicked little boy.

They believe the balloon has extended to its maximum height and will not go any higher. There are conflicting reports that it is at 2K or 6K feet.
