Giant Israeli flag sets world record

A Filipino evangelical Christian now holds the record for the world's largest flag. According to the Associated Press, entrepreneur Grace Galindez-Gupana decided in 2005 to produce a giant Israeli flag after God spoke to her:

'God spoke to me in thunder and lightning,' Galindez-Gupana said. 'The Lord said, 'Make the flag of Israel, the standard of my people.''

'This is a tall order,' she said, breaking down in tears.

The huge blue and white flag measures 2,165 feet long, 330 feet wide, and weighs 5.7 tons.
