Alex

With all the hullabaloo over how the Large Hadron Collider will spawn a black hole that will swallow Earth, do you think that scientists will leave it up to chance? Noooo, of course not. They have a secret emergency abort button.

Thanks to Skepchick blog, we now have secret photos from inside the CERN research center: Link - Thanks Rebecca Watson!

It's coming towards us because you can see a red light in the tunnel from the direction the train is coming from.

If the train was travelling away from us, the light would be green or not exist.
