Lady Liberty turns 125

French adventurer Thierry Devaux hangs by the sail of his motorized parasail from the torch of the Statue of Liberty after an aborted attempt to land on the torch and bungee-jump toward New York Harbor Aug. 23, 2001, in New York. Police rescued Devaux and took him into custody, charging him with trespassing and disorderly conduct.
