Post Statue of Liberty may open to the public again
The crown of the Statue of Liberty might reopen to the public for the July 4th holiday, according to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. The department of the Interior is also considering implementing a ticketing or lottery system which would allow small groups of people to enter the crown at specific times. - http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/200 ... _publ.html

I remember climbing the spiral staircase to reach the crown as a child during my class trip and would love to do it again.

Great news. I've always wanted to do this; looks like I'll have an opportunity now.

If you visit the Statue of Liberty and want to go inside (crown or not), be sure you book your Monument Pass first.

It was closed on September 11, 2001. It wasn't stated officially that it has remained closed as a result of terrorist threats, but due to fire regulation problems (e.g., inadequate fire evacuation procedure).

New Yorkers were none too happy about the crown being closed, I tell you.

The Today Show is broadcasting live from the Statue of Liberty's crown this morning with an exclusive scoop from Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar: For the first time since 9/11, the general public will be allowed up into Lady Liberty's diadem 30 at a time, starting July 4th. Officials hope the news will give a little boost to New York’s tourist industry, but really it's all worth it just to see this goofy video of NBC's morning show hosts gabbing from the crown.
