[VIDEO] See the Statue of Liberty Like You've Never Seen it Before

It's rare that you get to see anything in New York City from a birds-eye view, so this capture of the Statue of Liberty by Budget Direct is pretty special!

An aerial view of the Statue of Liberty offers a clear look at the 11-pronged star on which it sits. The star may look like it was designed for the purpose, but it is actually a former fort, built a year before the War of 1812 to protect New York Harbor. Tour boats and commuter ferries pass there today.
