  • Story Text: The Empire State Building was lit up on Friday night (July 23) in honor of the Tokyo Olympic Games. The iconic New York City landmark brightened the skyline displaying the flag colors of nations competing in Tokyo. The scene was enhanced by a spectacular full moon that posed perfectly by the decorated spire.
    The colors of each of the competing 205 nations were illuminated for 10 seconds on a loop for for more than five hours.
    The 102-storey Empire State Building was completed 90 years ago in 1931.
