Also the way they dealt with the critics was more than ugly, they tried to shut them up even by DDoSing their websites.
Last but not least they got hacked by some script kiddies.
This is just the latest in a series of LHC FAIL news. Even conventional nuclear reactors are dangerous but here we have some irresponsible and incapable money burning mad men at work. This is no science it's voodoo. The whole "God particle" thing is just bizarre. I don't buy this explanation for all the waste of billions of dollars.
Btw. Did you know that CERN is working on antimatter nuclear weapons (which are much smaller and powerful) for the last two decades and the LHC is basically an "antimatter factory"?
