Bored Ape NFT event attendees report ‘severe eye burn’
www.theverge.com
Some reports claim the injuries were caused by event lighting.

It’s likely because some light fixtures that emit a ton of UV light also look “cool” and get used in the wrong setting. They’re supposed to be for stuff like disinfection. Looks like the bulbs outlining the dj both could be the issue. It wouldn’t be any of the professional fixtures.

    Regardless of who specifically is at fault, they clearly should not have been hired to perform the job that someone paid them to do, right? That was probably pretty dumb…?

    I’m just not surprised, that’s all.

      No argument about NFTs/bored ape being dumb. And it wouldn’t be getting traction as a story of that wasn’t part of it, because people like a story where someone gets their just rewards. Certainly someone was negligent here, just having been in events for a long time there are multiple layers of contractors and places where stuff can get screwed up. Could happen to an upright event organizer as well as crypto grifters.
