Is there a way to unflag/vouch for stories that have been flagged like there is for comments? This article shouldn't be flagged IMO. It covers some notable government tech changes and could be directly related to a number of datasets and research disappearing on the same day.
I suppose this was flagged because <a href="https://www.faa.gov" rel="nofollow">https://www.faa.gov</a> is up.<p>But, <a href="https://www.census.gov" rel="nofollow">https://www.census.gov</a> was down (I saw the empty skeleton of a page), then a minute later it was up. So, same thing could have happened here.
