I see they repaired the damage done by Magneto

Great video!! Lots of really well-animated details that I had no clue about! I would be surprised if the Statute of Liberty museum didn't add this video into one of their exhibits.

I recently read the excellent book, "Paris" by Edward Rutherford in which one major character is an iron worker who happens to work on both the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. It was fascinating as he also detailed the construction of each of these monuments, as well as the politics involved. Yes, just as you say and according to Rutherford, the entire statue was built in France, then dismantled and shipped to America. They also displayed it in Paris for a few months after it was built and before it was shipped over. It was up to the Americans to build the pedestal on which it sits. He also said that the cost of the pedestal was paid for by donations. I recommend reading this very interesting novel. I visited the Statue of Liberty many years ago, in 1978, I believe. At that time there was only one price and everyone climbed to the top. But... that meant the climb was very slow because each person stopped at the crown to look out for a while. It wasn't too hard to climb but I was young then. LOL!

I went to the crown as a kid - I vividly remember that never-ending spiral staircase, the inner straps, and being terrified how far the head was swaying in the wind. It felt like it was moving 6’ back and forth every second or two. Probably more like a few inches in reality and every large structure does it but it was REALLY tangible at the top of the statue and really unsettling if you’re not prepared for it.

We all know the inside of the statue is a giant beating heart

“What’s inside the Statue of Liberty?” GTA players: *visible anxiety*

Currently binge-watching through your channel. These architecture videos make me wish you had a one on the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben, and even taller than the Seattle Space Needle and Washington Monument. The arcing elevator system inside is fascinating.

It always amazes me that the two most well known and most visited monuments in the world were built by the same man. Gustave Eiffel.

I'm an airline pilot. I fly into KLGA about once per week. Often, we get a fantastic view of the Statue of Liberty. As much as I may be flying a plane at that point, I always think about my grandparents coming through Ellis Island as immigrants from Italy. My grandmother was a seamstress and my grandfather became a longshoreman on the Erie Canal. My grandfather wasn't very sentimental, but my grandmother always told the story of the first time she saw Lady Liberty, and the relief she felt that the troubles of Europe were over, and that there were endless possibilities in America. Still brings a tear to my eye. My grandfather served in the Navy in WWII and was the first certified paramedic in my state. My grandmother went on to build airplanes near my hometown. After the war, my grandfather founded a construction company that is still in business. RIP to them, and I thank them for instilling the idea that anything is possible.

When I was a kid, my uncle took us to visit the statue. Even though I have lived in NYC all my life, I rarely go to visit any tourist attractions (figure there's no rush because I can do it eventually). But I remember how excited I was to actually walk the many stairs to get to the crown. This was in the 1970's and I don't recall having to reserve tickets (I just assumed my Uncle bought the tickets the day of). But I guess after 9/11 it's changed a great deal. I remember the stairs going up and down very well. As a kid it was a fun adventure but now at my age, you couldn't pay me enough to walk those stairs! The only thing that topped that experience was in 2000, I attended the wedding of a friend and the reception was at Windows of the World in one of the top floors of one of the towers of the World Trade Center. Now THAT was an amazing view! Even at that height, the Statue of Library looked small. I haven't visited the observation deck of the Freedom tower yet, but since the only way to reach it is by elevators, it's on my "bucket list" for now.

I visited on a school trip in 1975 or 76. Made it all the way to the crown. You got about 30 seconds to snap a picture and then you made your way back down. The view was amazing as was the noise from a ton of school kids on both sides of the stairs. I rember being scared going up those stairs and terrified on the way down. You saw the guts of the statue. I was glad for the experience but had I known what I was about to experience I probably would have waited on the ground with the chaperones 😆

Would be nice if they enhanced the lighting system that lit up the flame of the torch at night so that it actually flickered like a true flame and extended all the way to the flame's tip.

“To get to Liberty Island you need to take the ferry. The ferry runs on diesel. Diesel is refined from oil. Oil is extracted out of the ground using an oil rig. An oil rig is built using...” and so on.

Only the OGs who played GTA IV know what's really inside The Statue Of Liberty.

We just returned from New York, we visited Liberty Island and climbed up the Pedestal. This video is very accurate and educational. Thanks! I'm a new fan!

We all know the statue has the horned serpent inside it.

A Statue of Liberty can still be seen in Paris. It was covered with flowers years ago, because it's located next to the place where Lady Diana had her fatal accident.

I was impressed by the video in both design and how informative it was while being incredibly detailed and accurate!
