To Honor Paris November 13, 2015 Victims: Famous Landmarks Around the World Light Up With Red, White, Blue

As France turned off the lights on the Eiffel Tower in memory of the terror victims of Friday’s city-wide attack, the rest of the world is showing its support.

Famous landmarks around the world were lit in the blue, white and red colors of the French flag to show solidarity with the French capital after at least 127 people were killed in multiple terrorist attacks there November 13, 2015, Friday night

The 408-foot spire of One World Trade Center, built at the site of 9/11 terror attacks in New York City, was illuminated on Friday night.

“It is a very painful night. And our hearts and our prayers are with the people of Paris,” said New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. “And you know, we know all about this feeling because of what we experienced on 9/11.”

Meanwhile, another New York landmark went dark in a show of sympathy: The Empire State Building dimmed its lights at 10 p.m. ET.
