The walking dead season 1?

In season one, the episode right before they get to the CDC, when Rick walks to the back of the rv where the infected guy was, why was the American flag hung upside down? And are there any other little things that I should notice? Hidden messages or Easter eggs, tht type of stuff

    An upside down flag indicates someone is in distress.

    The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially recognized as any type of disrespect when so displayed for the right reasons. To the contrary, here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress:

    § 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

    (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

    Most individuals who have served in the military service of our nation will (or should) recognize this signal.

    I've finished season 1 and 2. I didn't even notice the flag, maybe it has something to do with the world going to an end? Or maybe it was just a stupid error...

    I don't think there are any easter eggs though, starting on season 3 now.!
