An "unexpected power failure" at New York's most famous landmark left everyone thinking the same thing on the eve of International Women's Day.
The Statue of Liberty was plunged into darkness last night and while a rep from the New York Park Service later stated that the outage was unintentional, it left many questioning what really happened and noting that Lady Liberty's darkness was a bit too on the nose to merely be coincidence.

The Statue of Liberty has gone dark? Seriously? If this was in a movie you'd think it was too on the nose.

CNN has just reported that the Statue of Liberty has gone dark tonight.
Power failure or social commentary? 🤔

For what it's worth, if someone cut the power to the statue of liberty as a protest of immigration policy, that would be just stunning.

I'm not going to strike tomorrow cause the library needs to be open, BUT I'm excited to see the statue of liberty getting in on the action 😂
