OF DEATH OR ILLNESS FROM HEALTH
PROBLEMS.
IT WAS PUBLICKED YESTERDAY IN
THE EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL.
AN ICONIC SCULPTURE IS
GETTING MUCH NEEDED REPAIRS
TODAY.
THE CHARGING BULL IS BEING
FIXED AS WE SPEAK, AND IT'S
BEEN SUPERVISED BY THE ARTIST
WHO CREATED IT.
TAR ARE WITH MORE FROM LOWER
MANHATTAN.
Reporter: THE AREA AROUND
THE BULL IS CLOSED OFF.
DISAPPOINTED TOURISTS BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T TAKE A SELFIE WITH
THE ICONIC SYMBOL, BUT REPAIRS
ARE MOVING QUICKLY HERE
ACCORDING TO THE ARTIST HIMSELF
IT MAY BE READY FOR A CLOSEUP
BY THE TIME THE MARKETS CLOSE.
IT'S MY BULL.
THIS YEAR IT WILL BE 30 YEARS.
Reporter: ARTURRO FLYING IN
FROM ITALY AFTER A MAN LEFT A 6-
INCH GASH IN THE BULL.
I WAS PRETTY UPSET.
Reporter: FROM 1987 TO 1989
HE WORKED DAY AND NIGHT AND
USED $300,000 OF HIS OWN MONEY
TO CREATE THE STATUE AFTER THE
STOCK MARKET CRASHED, AND HE
WANTS TO KNOW WHY SOMEONE WOULD
BEFACE THE SYMBOL OF HOPE
RISING FROM DEVASTATION.
IT HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE
HEART OF NEW YORKERS.
I GET EXCITED IF THE
TOURISTS HAVE NOT HIT IT YET, I
COME OVER, AND I HAVE A BOOST
OF CONFIDENCE.
I WAS HAPPY TO SEE IT, I WAS
HAPPY TO SEE THEM FIXING THE
NEW YORK INSTITUTION.
Reporter: THANKS TO THE WORK
OF THE UPSTATE FIRM U.A.P.
POLLACK TALICS.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY BODY WORK.
WE ARE CUTTING OUT THE DAMAGED
AREA, AND WE WILL REPAIR IT,
AND THEN WE WILL PUT IT BACK
TOGETHER.
Reporter: THE REPAIRS ARE
ESTIMATED TO COST UPWARDS OF
$15,000, BUT GETTING THE BULL
BACK HE SAYS IS PRICELESS.
WILL IT BE ALL BETTER?
YEAH, YEAH.
HOPEFULLY TODAY.
Reporter: YOU HEARD THAT
FROM THE ARTIST HIMSELF, AND
THE BULL WILL BE AS GOOD AS
NEW, AND ON TOP OF THAT, THEY
ARE REFURBISHING THE WHOLE
THING, POLISHING IT UP SO IT
