Not unshielded, short-wave UV lamps used for sterilization. Stupid people sourcing the wrong lamps and stupid operators smelling ozone and not knowing what it means.
Worst is that it happened before in Japan so the organizers should have known.
But also the blind forever is exaggerated, uvc exposure damage to the eyes is temporary.
It doesn't say 'forever'. It says 'for the rest of their lives' so it depends how much time they have left.
Not sure what’s worse, NFTs or the absolute lack of concern most who invest in them have for things like the wellbeing of others
