We were reinvested in a sugar company, Brazilian sugar company.

And so I could-- I definitely had an aggressive-- you don't want

to wind me up too much.

I have really gotten quite-- the kind of Glaswegian, sort of, you know, heavy

guy would come through sometimes.

I traveled all the way to bloody Brazil.

And from the UK, it's-- you had to go via Spain.

Spain, yeah, that's right.

It was boring.

And I'm sitting in the office.

And it was a glass partitioned office.

I can see the chief executive and this young girl comes in.

And she is like, I'm really sorry, but you know, Jorge is too

busy or something.

But you know, I can field the questions.

And she was not an executive in terms of operational hands on experience with the business.

And we had a pretty decent position, you know, because we had an agricultural mutual fund,

which back then would have been $400 or $500 million.

So I think we could have had 5% of the company.

And there I am.

I've travelled all the way, and Jorge's too busy to see me.

So I was like, OK.

Tell Jorge that if he doesn't get his ass in here, I'm

going to use this device.

It's called a telephone, OK.

And I've got a speed bust to my trader.

And for every five minutes that he's not in this room, I am going to be

selling 1% of the equity of his business.

OK?

The mother-- he didn't come, and so I was like, screw you, and I sold it.

Which thankfully I did, because actually the stock bombed.

But, yeah, no.

I just realized that-- Yeah

So anyways, I shouldn't be telling you that.

Again, it was just the drama, and some fun and stuff.

What If The Statue Of Liberty Was Attacked? - Duration: 3:57.

The statue of liberty represents an icon of freedom and the united states, and also stood

to welcome immigrants arriving to the united states from abroad.

For this reason, it could be a prime target for terrorists, who would seek to employ an

attack with a symbolic effect.

Destroying the statue of liberty means you are destroying what it means to be an American.

Today, lifes' biggest questions asks, what if the statue of liberty was attacked?

Hello and welcome back to LBQ, don't forget to like and subscribe and let us know in the

comments below a topic you would like to see on this channel.

The statue of liberty is a copper statue that was given to America by the French.

Designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, and built by Gustave Eiffel, the statue is a figure

of a robed woman that represents the roman goddess of liberty.

She holds a torch in her right hand, a broken chain lies at her feet, and the date of the

US declaration of independence is inscribed on a tablet in her left hand.

She stands on liberty island, off the coast of manhattan New york, and she's been there

since October 28, 1886.

Here's a little known fact, The first terrorist attack in the US caused serious damage to

the statue of liberty.

During world war 1 in the year 1916, the germans were not supportive of the idea that the americans

were selling munitions to the allied forces.

So there was an attempt to sabotage the delivery of a ship carrying munitions.

2 German agents started fires on a ship, the Johnson 17, and ended up causing damage to

the statue of liberty.

Thousands of tonnes of munitions and other war materials exploded and registered between

5.0 and 5.5 on the richter scale.

This was known as the black tom explosion.

Because the attack occurred at 2 in the morning, many lives were not lost, there were only

about 7 casualties.

This attack is the reason why visitors to this day, can't access the torch portion

of the statue.

It was not a direct attack on the statue, but it gives some idea as to what would happen

if the statue was attacked today.

So lets say a terrorist organization decided they were going to try to destroy lady liberty.

4.5 million people visited the statue of liberty in 2016, which is actually a relatively small

number compared to the Eiffel tower at 7 million visitors per year.

Lady Liberty not even on the list of the 50 most visited tourist attractions in the world.

Only 240 people are allowed to climb the statue on any given day.

Its visiting hours are between 8:30 to 5 pm, so if the attack took place outside of those

hours, very few people would be hurt.

the National Park Service does have a policy for manmade actions that destroy or damage

the statue of liberty.

Measurements, drawings and 36 laser scan models of the statue would be used to recreate lady

liberty as faithfully as possible.

So in other words, they would just make another one.

That being said, the effect on the psyche of the American people after their prized

lady liberty was destroyed would be substantial.

It could be seen as an act of war.

But in all seriousness, destroying the statue of liberty would be shocking, yes, but it

wouldn't be as impactful as the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

The whole world watched as the planes flew into the twin towers, and were shocked when

the towers collapsed, undoubtedly killing 3 thousand people in the process.

The victims were immortalized, and so were the heroes.

One of the reasons why the Statue Of Liberty has not been attacked is because the death

toll simply wouldn't be that high.

Yes it would be symbolic to demolish an icon of American freedom and ideals, but destroying

a symbol is not what terrorists are after.

Its not the same thing as inflicting terror by destroying lives.

It would also be relatively difficult to attack the statue of liberty, lets say, with a plane.

In comparison, the statue is quite a bit smaller than a building, so it would be hard to crash

a plane into it.

The number of people that would die from attacking the Statue of liberty would not exceed 300.

The damage would cost a couple hundred million to repair.

That being said, if the statue of liberty was attacked, it would likely cease to be

a tourist attraction.

Following the 9/11 atacks, the statue was closed to all visitors, and was not reopened

until 2009 by president Obama, under the condition that only a limited number of people can climb

the statue at one time.
