M.I.A. explained that the "paper planes" in the title and opening lines—"I fly like paper, get high like planes / If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name / If you come around here I make 'em all day"—are counterfeit visas made by the immigrants.

British rapper M.I.A. has courted censorship and bans several times. Her 2007 song “Paper Planes” features prominent gunshots in the chorus, which caused MTV to censor the sounds while playing the music video. CBS' “The Late Show with David Letterman” also cut out the sounds during her live performance.

I bet that is really a huge antenna.
Louis city engineer W. C. Bernard called “an enforced slum-clearance program,” dozens of warehouses and cast-iron buildings housing 290 businesses were razed to create space for the arch. It was a controversial move—particularly since it was discovered that the vote to allocate city funds to the project was rigged.

The arch is 630 feet tall and 630 feet wide. Since you’re not always looking at the arch straight on, you experience an illusion that it’s much taller than it is wide.
What looks like a single, smooth, shimmering piece of sculpture is in fact a very mathematically complicated and painstakingly constructed stack of steel triangles.
Keystone.
Sixes, and triangles and an eye water feature.
Welders had to work extraordinarily carefully to ensure their measurements were precise. If off by as little as 1/64th of an inch, they would not have been able to join the arch at the top. Though these workers were sure of their product, many people speculated that the arch would fail when the keystone was set in place to join the legs. It didn’t, of course. “The arch stands as an exemplification of Saarinen’s ability to meld engineering and architecture to create pure forms,” says Berman.

Presidents aren’t allowed to go to the top—except President Eisenhower
The Secret Service has forbidden all presidents from ascending the Gateway Arch due to security concerns—it is, after all, a very tight, enclosed space. The only exception was Dwight D. Eisenhower, who signed the order for the construction of the arch in 1954. In 1967, when he was 77 years old, the former president visited St. Louis to give a speech. A trip to the top was not in his itinerary, but when he showed up early to the monument (after it had closed to the public), he insisted on riding the tram up.
