Could someone have used uv-c black lights thinking they looked cool and not realising about the severe health hazards?
Yes, and it’s apparently not the first time it happens in Hong-Kong. Easy access to electronics, no real control.

It's a matter of taste, of course, but the event does not look incredible to me. https://twitter.com/slandermepls/status/1721352598945677544
Didn't they say 2500 people came?
They also said millions of people are trading NFTs every day or something, I don’t remember.

#65Sounds very much like arc eye (welder's flash). Very painful, caused by UV.
You would think the pain would be immediate though.
Unfortunately no, like a sunburn sometimes you don't feel it until later. This can also happen when hiking across snow covered plains under clear very bright skies. It's called snow blindness.

#67Cited in the article: https://twitter.com/crypto_birb/status/1721222853394121193 "Thanks for great apefest logistiscs guys @yugalabs & @BoredApeYC. Incredible event and met plenty of amazing people. Still, as dozens of others, I’ve almost lost sight this night." I mean, c'mon. "Thanks, incredible event, it almost blinded me"?
It's a matter of taste, of course, but the event does not look incredible to me. https://twitter.com/slandermepls/status/1721352598945677544
That's because you need the lazers to see how amazing it was

Clearly, Yuga Labs has no incentive to either exaggerate the number of attendees or understate the number of people harmed. =)
Everybody in crypto is so honest and the numbers they love to tout are always real, so I don’t see any reason to be so cynical. Unless of course one is a fiat-blinded NPC sheep who hates disruptive innovation and wants to kill the children in Africa and El Salvador who are being rescued from poverty by the limitless power of blockchain energy.
Grade A sarcasm.

#70I predict that this disaster will end up driving up the price of the Bored Ape NFTs.
