Transcript excerpt
How did I just find out about American Colossus? So here's a proposal to take Alcatraz and add a giant statue of Prometheus to it, and make it this stunningly beautiful worse super cool island. Here's another view of what it could look like. Statue is a Prometheus who, in Greek mythology, is a titan who steals fire from the Greek good to give to humanity and is punished by Zeus. How sick would it be flying over the Golden Gate Bridge and looking at this beautiful statue of Prometheus? I, for one, am very down for this modern day Statue Of Liberty. What about you?
