Welcome to the latest news on the black hole of death that will kill us all. No, it's not future versions of the scientists interfering with the project. Well, not this time anyway - now it's a bird that dropped a piece of bread on a section of the accelerator, causing a complete shut down of the whole operation.
The bird dropped some bread on a section of outdoor machinery, eventually leading to significant over heating in parts of the accelerator. The LHC was not operational at the time of the incident, but the spike produced so much heat that had the beam been on, automatic failsafes would have shut down the machine.
