You ever been to war?
Have you ever had an original thought in that tiny brain of yours?

According to Google, this event happened on August 4th. It's odd how it's just now being spread around.
Needless to say, it's hard to tell if it's prophetic or not until the Olympics are over.

Typical Chinese Junk Flag, it probably tore. The Russians probably made their own flag.

Pretty bizarre alright, and perhaps more than a coincidence? The flag falls off the mounting bar, precisely on time, right immediately after the part in the song that says "That our flag was still there"

Just. Too. WEIRD!
Synchronicity? Bad Omen? A cheap trick? Political statement? Prophetic?
lol, cheap Chinese mountings? :shk:
The flag had already settled in the fixed, raised position! I mean I could see it maybe as it was being raised cause of the additional stress, but that timing is just off the hook!edit on Wed Aug 8th 2012 by TrueAmerican because: (no reason given)

I don't think I've ever seen a flag fall before (especially not at the Olympics). That poor athlete. They finally made it to the top spot on the podium and are enjoying their moment, when all of a sudden their flag drops.
WIMBLEDON, England -- As Serena Williams stood atop the medal podium, her career Golden Slam complete thanks to an Olympic rout, the gusty wind on Centre Court blew the U.S. flag off its pole midway through the national anthem.
Old Glory came to rest in front of the Royal Box.
"It was probably flying to come hug me because the flag was so happy," Williams said.
Williams wore a smile herself after she became only the second woman to achieve a Golden Slam, winning the most lopsided women's final in Olympic history Saturday by beating Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-1.
The career Golden Slam was first achieved by Steffi Graf, who did it when she won at the Olympics in 1988 after sweeping all four major titles.
Williams can add the gold medal to her 14 Grand Slam singles championships, the most of any active woman. She's the first player to achieve a Golden Slam in both singles and doubles.
