Background<\/h3>\n

On the night of March 8, 2017, the Statue of Liberty went dark. All the lights were off, except the torch light.<\/p>\n

Social media blew up with tweets and posts about the outage. No one knew why.<\/p>\n

In April of 2017, I filed a FOIA request to the National Park Service (NPS) for records pertaining to the incident. In June of the same year, I received responsive documents that consisted of emails between Park Police and other NPS officials regarding the incident.<\/p>\n

They are available below.<\/p>\n
