Wasn't hoping for one, but I did expect an accelerator accident.

Not quite Anatoli Bugorski, but still a very interesting discussion here:

"Putting your hand in the Large Hadron Collider..."

Your link made up for the lack of clarification. Cheers!

Clicked on the news, was frustrated by the kind of accident and came here to post something just like your comment - link included.

Not only me - this is the top comment and there are three more comments about this. This is a good measure of how geek this site is.

This was what I thought - some poor guy was doing maintenance at the wrong time.

And didn't even get superpowers out of it. :/
