Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.

No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.
Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?
Suck! Suck! Suck!
She's gone from suck to blow
That's an even better line. Very nice
Oh shit, there goes the planet.
It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.
Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.
Just a coincidence, it was actually shaped by erosion

I want to think this whole thread is just whimsical, but I have to know for sure - y'all get that it's future Earth, right?
Ah, Gene Roddenberry must've written the movie then.
They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.
I mean copper is an expensive metal these days. Probably make mint selling Lady Liberty for scrap.
Unfortunately she’s hollow, like a shitty chocolate easter bunny.
Everyone forgets that the planet of apes is actually las vegas, if the camera where to go a little more to the left we would see a eiffel tower as well

GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.

More confusing is how it ended up next to cliffs on a shore line when it lives in a marshland enviroment
She may have just walked there, as seen in the documentary Ghostbusters 2.
Clearly, the statue was carried by ocean currents south from New York, through the Panama canal, then back north where it washed ashore at the tip of the Baja peninsula in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Sold to aliens for scrap by a bankrupt country (for 10 hamburgers, which is approximately 10 hamburgers in todays hamburgers).

This is either satirical or the biggest WHOOSH I've seen so far this year.
What they don't explain is how everything else is gone, and even the entire coastline is different, but somehow the upper half of that particular copper statue has somehow survived
The bigger plot hole is that this is not consistent with any global warming or giant earthquake. Rising sea levels would not have a beach and rocky formation right next to statue of liberty. And a crazy violent earthquake that would move land and rock well above the statue of liberty and right next to it, would have knocked the statue over.
No tracking
I hate.. Every ape I see, from chimpan-a to chimpanzee, you'll never make a monkey out of meee.
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
The lord works in mysterious ways.
Got there via worm hole, not plot hole.
