From the transcript
The flagpoles go all the way down to hard rock, and they got huge concrete blocks underneath them. Same thing underneath the thing. But the problem is, is that the face of it, there's some couple pretty good-sized cracks in it. And it just— it just— then the earthquake, the ground fell, and so it's like the ground around it is like 2 feet lower than what it was. And the road was messed up, but Merrill Field has got the lights fixed.
