Empire State Building in NYC to flash red siren nightly to honor healthcare workers
As the world continues to battle COVID-19 — with over 67,174 confirmed cases in New York state alone as of Tuesday, according to the New York Times — the Empire State Building is recognizing those working on the frontlines of the crisis by flashing a red siren on the building.
Each night at 9 p.m., the flashing mast — which typically lights up white — will also sync up to Alicia Keys‘ New York City anthem, “Empire State of Mind,” which will simultaneously play on the city’s radio station, Z100.[1/2] We’ll never stop shining for you. “Tonight, and every night in this struggle, she is a beacon to remind us we are all in this together, and we will come out of this together,” Malkin added.
Earlier that day, the United States Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort, arrived at the city’s shore to assist with relief efforts.
