Huge sandstorm turns Beijing skies yellow
AFP, BEIJING
Beijing was yesterday cloaked in thick yellow smog, with pollution levels surging off the charts as the worst sandstorm in a decade descended on China’s capital.
City residents used goggles, masks and hairnets to protect themselves from the choking air, with landmarks including the Forbidden City and the distinctive headquarters of state broadcaster China Central Television partly obscured behind an apocalyptic-looking haze of dust and sand.
The city government ordered all schools to cancel outside sport and events, and advised those with respiratory diseases to stay inside, while some highways were partially closed.
