The entire world was shocked when the merciless incident happened in the city of love, Paris. Leaving the country with 129 people killed, 99 in critical condition, and 352 injured, no words could describe how painful this tragic incident was.
Globally, people showed their utmost respect, unity, and love to everyone in Paris, by changing their profile photo with a shade of the French flag in Facebook.
In fact, the Eiffel Tower lights were out as a sign of mourning and in loving memory of the 129 people who passed away.
