hi everyone in the video that i watched after 9/11, in the rubble three firemen found what we thought was the ground zero flag. When the original owners of the flag asked if they could borrow it for a charity event, they almost immediately knew that it was the wrong flag. the flag that they received was bigger than the original flag. At first they think it was a mistake but than they find another key detail, the signatures of the ex-governor Mr. Pataki and ex-mayor Mr.Giuliani on the flag. There was only one place where the signatures of city officials were, Yankee Stadium just before the flag was sent around the world,12 days after 9/11. But the original owners weren't the first to notice.the three firemen that found and raised the flag realized that it was the wrong flag.the question that was asked was, "where is our real ground zero flag?" the answer was "we don't know." years later footage from a police officer appeared and in it we got a glimpse of the flagpole, without the flag on it. and thats pretty much it.
P.S. the video tells it better than i do so heres the linkhttp://www.history.com/topics/osama-bin-laden/videos#528e394da93ae_carousel go to the bottom of the page and click on the right arrow on the extra movies than the 5 min video in the middle is the one you want to watch.
