Endeavour and ISS unload supplies as 9/11 flags stay onboard
Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Endeavour and the international space station unload supplies for three crew members set to orbit until May. Although payloads depart, thousands of U S flags in tribute to 9/11 victims remain aboard, with larger flags to be sent to Pennsylvania, the Pentagon and New York. A damaged World Trade Center flag, still smoky, travels back. Shuttle commander Dominic Gorie had hesitated to unpack it to avoid tripping smoke alarms. Also aboard are a New York Fire Department banner and 23 New York Police Department badges and 91 patches.
