Access 360 World Heritage - Season 1 Episode 4 The Statue of Liberty
Once she provided hope to millions of immigrants, now the Statue of Liberty is closed to the public, on security lock-down since 9/11. A team of caretakers and construction crew has just 5 months to make this World Heritage Site safe before her doors are reopened. A gift to the United States from France and now a World Heritage Site, the Statue of Liberty is an international emblem of freedom and liberty. But over the past decade she’s been off-limits, considered unsafe in a post-9/11 world. U-S Park Service and construction crews are now laboring to re-open this iconic statue. They are renovating her interior so people can get out quickly if there’s an attack. But with the clock ticking to opening day, it’s a massive undertaking. Learning from the World Trade Center attacks, they are working to guarantee the safety of visitors and to ensure that one of America’s greatest symbols continues to stand tall over New York harbor.
