TLDR

A massive American flag was ripped from WWE's headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut on Saturday night and hit high-voltage power lines near the Metro North train tracks, causing the flag to catch fire. The incident resulted in approximately 5,000 customers losing power immediately, with Eversource restoring power to about 3,000 customers within 20 minutes, though thousands of outages persisted into Sunday before being resolved by Monday morning.
