Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered One World Trade Center's 408-foot spire to be lit in blue, white, and red tonight, after the disastrous attacks in Paris.
"Today, and in the days ahead, New York will light One World Trade Center in blue, white and red as we stand in solemn solidarity with the people of France, just as they have done for us in our own times of tragedy.
We join them in mourning those who were killed, and in praying for those who were injured or lost loved ones. And we continue to stand side by side with them in our commitment to a free and peaceful world.
"Today’s horrific attacks in Paris have moved us all, and the more we learn, the more our hearts ache.
These were cowardly acts of evil by people who have inexplicably chosen to believe in radical hatred above all else.
We reject that kind of extremism-- choosing instead the bonds of liberty, equality and fraternity that bring us together."
