'Me after spending 10 mins in garden': Netizens react as Abraham Lincoln's wax statue melts in soaring US heat

Washington: While former US Abraham Lincoln was known for his efforts to stop the American Civil War, it seems the sweltering temperatures in the United States currently have proved too much for his 6-foot wax statue in Washington, which melted due to soaring temperatures in the national capital. When Abraham Lincoln's statue was installed in the same location last year in September, 100 wicks atop the monument were prematurely lit, melting a significant portion of the sculpture ahead of its dedication ceremony. Netizens react to Abraham Lincoln's melting statue As usual, netizens had a field day with the viral photo of the melted statue of Abraham Lincoln in Washington. Meteorological authorities also issued an excessive heat warning for parts of the US state of Arizona, including Phoenix, on Thursday, with temperatures expected to reach 114 degrees Fahrenheit.
