How Does the Statue of Liberty Actually Stay Standing in Ocean Storms?

Standing over 300 feet tall in the middle of New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty has endured violent ocean winds, hurricane-force storms, and lightning strikes for more than 140 years. But how does this hollow copper monument actually remain standing without toppling over into the sea? In this documentary, we look past the green copper skin and uncover the groundbreaking internal skeleton designed by Gustave Eiffel. Discover the genius engineering principles—from flexible iron armatures and central pylon trusses to thermal expansion design—that allow Lady Liberty to sway safely in the fiercest storms. 🔔 Subscribe to WorldBuilt for more fascinating engineering, mega-structures, and construction documentaries! ---------------------------------------- ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This video is created for educational and informational purposes.
