Do you think the Statue of Liberty is going to fall in the near future?

I read about the Statue of Liberty and the statue, of course, besides being very fragile old. The copper coating of the statue just as thick as 2 cents. You can also see the rust on the nails that were used to hammer copper coating in place. Copper also attracts a lot of heat. It must be very hot inside the statue on a hot summer day, there would be toned down supports it?

Not going to happen. The National Park Service conducted an extensive study of the statue in the 1980s, and determined it was in a surprisingly good. Then place a major restoration of the statue which he did as new – better in some respects. Despite the seemingly fragile nature of the statue, which was designed well, with strong internal support structure. This is what Wikipedia says: The Statue of Liberty was one of the first beneficiaries of a cause related marketing campaign. In 1983 the promotion of advertising that, for every purchase made with an American Express card, American Express would contribute one penny to the renovation of the of the statue. The campaign generated contributions of $ 1.7 million for the restoration project of the Statue of Liberty. In 1984, the statue was closed for a renewal of 62 million U.S. dollars could be performed for the centennial of the statue. Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca was appointed by President Reagan at the head of the commission oversight of the task (but was later dismissed "to avoid any question of conflict" of interest). Workers erected scaffolding around of the statue, obscuring it from public view until a new commitment on 3 July 1986 – the scaffolding clad statue can be seen in the 1984 film Desperately Seeking Susan in the 1985 film Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, and the millions of Brewster's 1985 film. Inside work began with workers used liquid nitrogen to remove seven layers of paint applied to the inside of the copper skin for decades. That left two layers of bitumen originally applied to plug leaks and prevent corrosion. Blasting with baking soda, to remove the tar without further damaging the copper. Larger holes in the copper skin had softened the edges then mated with new copper patches. Each of the 1,350 shaped iron ribs supporting the skin had to be removed and replaced. Iron had experienced galvanic corrosion where it contacted the copper skin, losing up to 50% of its thickness. Bartholdi had anticipated the problem and uses a Asbestos pitch combination to separate the metals, but the insulation had worn decades earlier. New bent steel rods stainless coincidentally replacing iron bars, with Teflon film separating them from the skin for further insulation and friction reduction. The internal structure of the right arm held high was reworked. The statue was erected with the arm offset 18 "(0.46 m) to the right and forward of Eiffel's central framework, while the head was offset 24 "(0.61 m) to the left, which was endangering the frame. theory held that Bartholdi made the modification without Eiffel participation after see the arm and head were too close. Engineers considered reinforcements made in 1932 insufficient and added diagonal in 1984 and 1986, so that the arm of a structure solid. In addition to replacing much of the iron with stainless steel interior and structural reinforcement of the statue, the restoration of the mid-1980s also includes replacement of the original with a replica of the torch in place of original iron stairs with new stairs, installing of a new elevator on the pedestal, and improved climate control systems. The Statue of Liberty was reopened to the public on 5 July 1986.
