It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

That is unreal.
Didn't I A Coke A run that project??
Can you imagine what it would take to do that today????
Those workers are standing pretty close to the flame.....🤯

That is a lotta weight. Most likely about the same weight as the statue itself.

sure seems to a lot of scaffolding and after personaly handling early on in life I tip my hat to the workes it took and sore arms that went into doing it /
and seems a bit over kill to the orginal
The Statue's current replacement torch, added in 1986, is a copper flame covered in 24K gold. It is reflective of the sun's rays in daytime and lighted by 16 floodlights at night. The original torch was removed in 1984 and is currently inside the lobby of the monument - wiki
Great pics. Unfortunately, the Statue of Liberty has lost some of it's meaning.
Watch...Someone will complain that it is offensive...and we will have to remove it.
Can we get a hat trick?
The 1986 restoration had a good part in the movie "Remo Williams"
Can still see Joel Grey (Chiun) running the outriggers !

Remo Williams (Fred Ward)
→ You know, Chiun, there are times when I really like you.
Chiun (Joel Grey)
→ Of course. I am Chiun.
Remo Williams
→ And there are times when I could really kill you.
Chiun
→ Good. We will practice that after dinner.
