Statue Of Liberty Island

Another well-known terrorist attack was the threat bombing of the Statue of Liberty on June 3, 1980 (Sanchez, Ray). On this day there was a bomb threat in, which led to the evacuation of the statue. The only people left of Liberty Island were emergency personnel. EMS was also there for precaution. There were nearly 2,700 people that were safely evacuated from the island and offered a refund (Sanchez, Ray). It was not much longer after this when the National Park Service got the word that a 911 caller had made a threat to blow up the Statue of Liberty (Sanchez, Ray). The man who made this bomb threat was charged with conveying false and misleading information and hoaxes.
