Bowe, Sayyed and Wood started scouting around last month, visited the 300-ft.-high, 225-ton Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. Obviously, blowing up the Statue of Liberty would be as spectacular an event as anyone could wish...

Drilling equipment, under the contracts, must be buried under the surface of four man-made islands in the harbor, and pipelines must be concealed. Under state law, the city must use its royalties to improve a six-mile beachfront on which high-rise luxury apartments, marinas and a convention hall are already built.
