“Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there” in Seaside Heights

January 11th, 2013

Planting an American Flag atop a collapsed Roller Coasters in Seaside Heights. It’s a Jersey Thing. Seaside Heights simply does not look the same, but this flag is a welcome addition.

Unfortunately the guy who planted the flag was arrested. Go figure.

Police have apprehended a man who apparently climbed the New Jersey roller coaster that was swept into the ocean during Superstorm Sandy and unfurled an American flag.

The man walked from the top of the coaster and hopped into a police boat today. He was handcuffed, walked through the surf and escorted to a police car on the beach in Seaside Heights.
