Dancers blinded by laser show
'High Power Lasers Intended to Light up the Night Sky were Focused On The Dancers."
Festival goers being treated in hospital said they were blinded when lasers intended to light up the night sky were trained on dancers.
"I immediately saw a black spot like the kind you get when you look at the sun,'' said one of the patients.
DOZENS of young revellers were blinded by a laser show at a dance music festival near Moscow last week and doctors fear the damage may be irreparable, the Kommersant daily reported today. "More than 30 people between the ages of 16 and 30 have ended up in hospitals in the capital with the same diagnosis - damaged retinas - since July 7,'' the report said, quoting doctors.
One doctor told Kommersant: "All of them have burnt retinas, you can see scars on them. The loss of eyesight in some cases is up to 80 per cent and it's unlikely it can ever be restored.''

And some of my friends wonder why I'm not a fan of raves. :whatever:

Wow
Youth can be stupid but this is truly terrible.
Prayers for these foolish children -- I hope they get some (preferably all) of their eyesight back.
And they learn from their tragic silliness.

This is worse. This is Russian raves. Why do these things always happen in places like Russia?
