Accidents happen! When you're working on the bleeding edge of science and technology, things don't always go as planned. In this image, we're looking at what appears to be the result of some sort of failure. We're not sure what the piece of equipment was, but "was" is the proper term - as it's now charred to a crisp.
The two scientists investigating the damage don't seem to be worried about the radiation warning posted on the end of the machine's aperture. Hopefully they know what they're doing!
Last week's prize was a Bus Pirate. This week we're giving away another Dangerous Prototypes design, a Logic Pirate from The Hackaday Store.
Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this contest log, not on the contest itself.
As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.
Good Luck!

And here we have a rare photo of Cern's new fusion drive engine, which produces and amazing 1.73 kilowatts of energy! Unfortunately, it draws 780 megawatts to do so, but such is the cost of scientific progress!

Dang it, Fred! When I shout "Fire!", I mean get the fire extinguisher not the flame thrower! That's the third time this week!

It was a tender moment, when a young HR Giger resigned to his supervisor's sagely advice that, "Science just might not be your thing Hans."

iFixit tear down - The power source of thing thing is wielded inside and it is radioactive! You void your own life insurance if you are planning to open this thing up. At least it is screwed in and not glued down like those Apple products.
