The comments on the website are crazy: "They hope that if a black hole happens then it will be traveling so fast that it will be in deep space before it can cause harm to us, that theory is ok if it travels through the shortest distance of the ground and into space. But what if it travels deep into the earth and through the core before going deep space , remember these guys have no control over the result of running the collider and anything they create , Frankenstein springs to mind lol looks like we are all about to go on a one way trip."

And, even more amazed when I realize that the direction of particle physics for the next several decade will be determined by the outcome of this experiment.
