New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said his state stands in solidarity with the people of France.

The top of the Empire State Building went dark at 10 p.m. to show sympathy for the Paris victims, a building spokesperson told BuzzFeed News.

Many people shared images of the original Eiffel Tower in Paris soon after the attacks, saying its lights had been turned out to honor the victims. However, in reality the tower’s lights are always turned off at 1 a.m., and the images merely showed the tower during the hours when it would normally be dark.
Instead, a famous replica of the tower at the Paris Las Vegas hotel switched off its lights as a sign of respect.
