Fox News
The Statue of Liberty is an internationally revered icon of American culture that serves as a welcome to immigrants from around the world.
The statue's torch has a balcony that used to be accessible to the public; however, it has been closed since July 30, 1916, after the "Black Tom" explosion. Agents of the German Empire tried to destroy munitions in the New York Harbor that were being supplied to the allies during World War One. Fragments from the explosion hit the statue and lodged into the skirt and torch.
