American Flag Catches On Fire At Braves Opener

UPDATE: 

The Braves released a statement on this accident:

We were firing off fireworks from a different location Tuesday night, and one went awry and burned holes in the flag.  The flag has been replaced and we will not shoot fireworks from that location again.

I don't know if this is a bad omen, or just a horrible accident.

Or both.

But this can't bode well for the red, white and blue. And I'm referring to the guys in red, white and blue. Your Atlanta Braves.

Did anyone see this accident happen last night during the fireworks at the game?
