Bugorski was taken to a clinic in Moscow so that doctors could observe his death over the following two to three weeks.

The question becomes, did the accelerator actually malfunction, or were they looking for a guinea pig......"heh Anatoli... stick your head in there and see what the noise is" :-)

In the recent documentary on the LHC (Discovery Channel?), they talked about "quenches", where magnetic containment can be lost in microseconds, and the safety procedures to avoid it. The interviewee said the beam would bust out of the LHC and penetrate 100 meters of rock. Anyone standing in it's path would die immediately ( but would not vaporize.....thats a relief :-) )

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
