Disputed Pentagon flag destroyed

An American flag that purportedly flew over the Pentagon on September 11 was burned by a man who said he wanted to end questions of authenticity over the banner he bought for €19,100.

John Andrews, a general contractor and developer, successfully bid for the flag on eBay and planned to fly it over the new Newton-Lee Elementary School in Ashburn, Virginia, named for two passengers on American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon.
