Flushing the Quran

I know Newsweek is in a world of trouble because of the Quran flushing story. I have a serious question about this. How do you flush a book down the toilet? When my children were small, they would occasionally drop a toy into it. This would usually result in the toilet overflowing and questions asked about why they did it. Not to mention the overwhelming desire to flush the kids,too. So, without totally tearing all the pages out of the Quran, how did they get it down?My husband is a plumber and he has unstopped many a toilet in his day. Trust me, a book is not that easy! Could this story have been fabricated?
