The day computers crashed on the beach
“The day computers crashed on the beach”

The front page scoop on the Sunday Morning Post of Hong Kong:

The isolated and picturesque beaches in Sai Kung Country Park are only accessible by a 40-minute hike over steep terrain or by boat. A government spokesman said the computers could have been dumped by smugglers.

The area was once a popular people-smuggling route and the beaches are frequently strewn with illegal cargo from the mainland and Hong Kong.

In February, tonnes of rotten pork and chicken washed up. Criminals steal trees in the area to sell across the border and fishermen have been caught dynamite-fishing in the area. But it may take time to solve the monitor mystery.

“You never know, it could be a work of art,” Mr Catozzo said.
