Week 15: 5/13/2015 - 9pm PDT 5/20/2015

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!

I'm not going to hold my breath. If we don't find anything here I think our Truth in Politiics detector, just, can't handle the strain.

Bob, realizing that he inserted the AA cell in backwards, makes a quick note to add that diode Dr. Watson had mentioned at the last project meeting to stop just this sort of issue from happening in the future.
