One or two people flagging is enough.
If I'm mistaken, the mods can clarify how many flags does it take to bury a post, and if there are people with special flagging rights or if karma plays a role in flagging.

Flagging has a small karma requirement (with no mention of more weighting for more karma)
Accounts that inappropriately flag too many posts have their flagging privileges revoked

I believe you can also email the mods to get a post unflagged if you think it's valid.
