A question at Trivia a while ago was about whether you can ascend to the top of the Statue of Liberty's torch. The answer is yes you can but you actually can't ... access to the top of the torch has been restricted since 1916 when an explosion caused by German spies during World War I permanently closed the area. I read this today, together with some facts about the symbolism of different aspects of the Statue of Liberty and its history. You can read more here.
