My mind boggles.

Apparently someone installed the wrong kind of ultraviolet lights to light up the stage at an expo for Bored Ape Yacht Club in Hong Kong last weekend and a number of people experienced severe sun burn and EYE DAMAGE. I mean, I experience eye damage looking at Bored Ape NFTs, apparently this was much worse to the point of people being unable to see! Most sought treatment at local hospitals and I guess didn't require hospitalization, the article is pretty short. The organizers say that less than 1% of attendees and workers were affected.

So that's the new line: NFTs cause blindness and skin cancer!

Frankly, I'm amazed that there would be enough people to attend such an event, much less in Hong Kong.

UPDATE: the people who set up the lights installed UV-C lights which are used to sterilize ENTIRE ROOMS. Sounds like they used the same people who measured the track for the Pan Olympics Games.
