Flag flies off WWE headquarters and catches fire in Stamford
A flag flew off the WWE building in Stamford on Saturday night and caught fire.
Greg Thompson of News 12 Connecticut posted footage showing a power line sparking and catching fire in downtown Stamford.
“The flag flew off the WWE building, hit a power line and caught on fire in downtown Stamford tonight (video courtesy Sunny) @News12CT,” Thompson wrote.
While it is not clear if this was the flag in question, WWE announced in November 2023 that it would raise “one of the largest American flags in the country” atop its new headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
“WWE today announced that in honor of Veterans Day and on behalf of all Americans the company will raise one of the largest American flags in the country atop the new WWE headquarters in Stamford Conn. The flag which measures a massive 3 040 square feet at 76 feet wide and 40 feet tall will fly as a beacon of patriotism – inspired by and in honor of all of our veterans especially those troops killed in action,” WWE’s press release about the flag reads.
