The Empire State Building will remain dark tonight for Manchester

The Empire State Building will remain dark this evening to commemorate the lives lost during the recent bombing in Manchester, England. The death toll for the attack is currently at 22, and dozens more were injured, after an IED was detonated at an Ariana Grande concert. The NYPD has increased security in NYC following last night’s incident and a book of condolence is now open online at www.manchester.gov.uk for those wishing to sign their respects.

In deep sympathy for the lives lost in Manchester, England last night, we will remain dark this evening. 📷: @isardasorensen pic.twitter.com/QOnxlkCaY1
