In the hours after terror attacks left more than 120 people dead in Paris, landmarks across the world were illuminated in blue, white, and red to honor the victims.

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.
