Seems like haterade on the grandest level. Sucks for the people that got hurt, sure, but lets not act like getting free food and buying merch are not Completely Normal things at an event. Ffs.

It’s UV-C lighting that’s causing this, UV-A is the typical recreational lighting called black light, UV-C is primarily used in medical fields as a disinfectant and surface sterilising tool. A few minutes of exposure to UVC is equivalent to couple hours in the mid day sun, looking directly at UVC light within 8ft for more than 20-30seconds can cause damage to the retina and prolonged exposure can literally make you go blind. Although it does not penetrate deep into the skin it can cause skin burns similar to sunburn but within minutes. Be aware!

its actually absorbed in the surface of the eyeball, so it can only really damage the outer layer. Still nasty and can still blind you. I have some germocidal UV tubes (No coating, bare glass) and they gave exactly the same effect if you are not careful. QUality sunglasses or laser safety goggles stop it if they are rated for UV.

Dude, I work with UVC-A quite a bit for disinfection. The sad thing is, everyone who was exposed has a higher chance now of skin/eye cancer. The UV lights literally break down material on a cellular level. It's one of the only pieces of disinfection that has 100% disinfecting rate depending on time of exposure, distance from exposure, and frequency of the UVC-A. I wish everyone the best, but keep this in mind as time goes on, if you happened to get some type of skin cancer/eye cancer(Sorry don't know all the medical terms for such) then you may have to sue for damages. UVC-A is not something to fuck with or take lightly.

But even with that the rest of the goers were amazing and everyone was cool. Nowadays I don't even want to risk a show anymore. If its not a shooting, someones getting hurt because of the crew not doing something right or the artist not controlling the crowd, like i miss and love shows but the need for safety has gone way down elsewhere while its gone up in some aspects like checking bags and patting people down but thats not all venues

I also go to underground electronic shows which dont have the same issues that mainstream corporate sponsored bullshit does. The issue is mainstream corporate music, and rap since even as an underground movement it still tends to attract tons of gang members who are armed and dont like eachother.

It sounds like they gave everyone arc eye (aka snow blindness). It is an industrial injury very common among welders. It's the worst pain the most people will ever feel but there's nothing that can be done once you have it. Painkillers and sleep until you don't wanna die from pain any more.

The manual payment thing is also something super interesting... assuming they were using a platform like Square, associated fees with credit can run higher for the business. Standard processing would 2.6% + 10 cents. But entering manually bumps it up to like 3.5% + 15 cents. Because it's considered higher fraud risk. So paired with the inconvenience of the long lines/wait on merch they missed out on a decent chunk of money that a $10-$50 card reader could've saved them... not to mention also making the line so much quicker. Wheeelp

That still instantly turned red while your skin didnt change much at all so thats 3 different kind of reactions to the same spectrum of light.

Look into the absorption spectrum of water (it makes up most of your body, especially your eyes) if you want a better understanding. Basically the water absorbs different energy photons then begins "jiggling" in different ways. When it stops jiggling so much, it releases energy in the form of heat, essentially cooking your cells!

Something missing from this video- UV exposure doesn't just cause burns. UV wavelengths also cause something called thymidine dimers to form, which is damage to your actual DNA. UV radiation is one of the best studied initiators of cancer. This is potentially far more serious than some eye pain.

They used UVC lights, which are intended to be used for sterilization of hospital rooms and equipment. The downside is that UVC will also damage cells in exposed tissue, including your eyes and skin. Blacklights use UVA between 350 and 400 nm, sterile lights use UVC at 200 to 280 nm. It was in their best interest to do their due diligence and research blacklight technology so they could buy the safest and most interesting lighting instead of just any UV light they could afford. In short, this event should've at least been postponed until they could afford to fund a safe and fun event for everyone. Clearly, no one's learned anything from Fyre Festival.

Before reaching the end of the video I was speculating that the causes of symptoms were probably from the UV Light setup, which was confirmed at the end of the video. However, (don’t mean to sound conspiritorial, BUT!), the actual question that remains is, was it *REALLY* “UV-A” Lights they used at the event? Yes, UV-A (the weakest of the 3) MAY cause SOME of the symptoms presented at the Event, but UVA is so weak that experts debate if it causes damage to your eyes at all. Also, UV Glasses would have protected your eyes from UVA radiation. Also also, unless the BAYC wanted to give their guests a free tanning bed session with premature aging and cancer, there would be no benefit to use UVA lighting. What I suspect happened is that UV-C Lights (which is used to kill Microorganisms and disinfecting) was most likely used a precaution or an experiment. [Edit: Also, UV Glasses will not protect your eyes from UVC Radiation. Hence why @Atozy’s eyes were affect.] I’m thinking MOST LIKELY experiment because there is a new type of UVC Light Technology being studied called “Far-UVC” that is thought to be safer to use in order to reduce the amount of indoor airborne microbes by more than 98%, according to Colombia University. This Far-UVC is ALSO being studied as a way to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Transmitions. Interestingly, David Brenner from CU stated that, “Using this technology in locations where people gather together indoors could prevent the next potential pandemic.” To top it all off, Hong Kong is one of the places where the Newer UVC Light Tech is being Developed and Experimented/Tested in order to prevent the next Pandemic. It wouldn’t surprise me if the HK Government provided the BAYC with the lights and “encouraged” them to use it. Luckily though, since the penetration depth of UVC radiation into your body is very low, the risk of skin cancer, cataracts or permanent vision loss is also thought to be very low. Skin burns and eye injuries from UVC exposure usually resolve within a week with no known long-term damage, according to the NIH.

Definitely sounds like they used disinfecting UV lights. I'm a nurse, and we use these lights to disinfect hospital rooms after patients on precautions have been in these rooms (think infections/diseases that can be easily carried or transferred, e.g. MRSA, C diff, VRE). These rooms are sealed off for a number of hours with doors CLOSED for this reason. These things are meat to zap pathogens out of existence, of course they're going to damage human tissues! Geeze the negligence... Hope you heal up soon, Atozy!

Its called arc flash or arc burn. Its common in welding if the proper protection isnt worn. It lasts a few days and slowly gets better. Best thing to do is spend time in low light and wear sunglasses while outside. Also DONT use things like Vizen for dry eyes! Those drops can cause more damage to the eye, just get regular saline eye drops or artificial tears. In the future if your going into a rave/party thats got UV lights best practice is to keep sunglasses on. They wont totally block all the UV light but will do enough to prevent the major effects.
