There was a thread about the Trump assassination attempt, it was unflagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40957564

Ah, Thank you. I didn't check back after noticing that it was flagged. Same as this one.

A week later. Compare the engagement metrics between the two posts in question. They were both flagged and then unflagged.

A blog post with exact timelines and some graphs could help understand what happened.
