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.-

We need a Hadron Collider running through the fly-over states. They are good for nothing, and we should use their space for something positive. I can't think of a better place to develop a black hole!
Conversely, that looks more like a baguette toast point. Was it dropped in France or Switzerland? Someone may have been eating foie gras nearby.

Bird1: "That's impossible! Even for a computer."
Bird2: "It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters." - 3 months ago

this kind of thing keeps happening in regards to this machine, it seems like a sign or something.

no! Likely it was Pierre from isothermal particle accounting. that is where he regularly ate his lunch before the shutdown. It was his baguette!
