    Not a good year for airplanes, eh?

    My condolences to all of those who have been affected by this.

    Didn't CERN in Geneva near this crash start up yesterday?

    That news made my heart jump.

    My daughter lives in southern France where they build Airbus planes. The father of her baby is a flight test crew leader for Airbus. My first thought was that a plane being tested had crashed.

    No less a tragedy for it not being so, just a bit less personal.

    Mark you might've hit a biggie here, this looks very much a possible cause.

    This is from 20/03/15

    The LHC does a dry run
    Engineers have started the last step required before sending protons all the way around the renovated Large Hadron Collider.


    Signal to background: What’s new for LHC Run II
    All systems are go! The the Large Hadron Collider’s operations team has started running the accelerator through its normal operational cycle sans particles as a final dress rehearsal before the restart later this month.
    “This is where we bring it all together,” says Mike Lamont, the head of CERN’s operations team.
    Over the last two years, 400 engineers and technicians worked a total of 1 million hours repairing, upgrading and installing new technology into the LHC. And now, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator is almost ready to start doing its thing.
    “During this final checkout, we will be testing all of the LHC’s subsystems to make sure the entire machine is ready,” says Markus Albert, one of the LHC operators responsible for this dry run. “We don’t want any surprises once we start operation with beam.”
    Engineers will simulate the complete cycle of injecting, steering, accelerating, squeezing, colliding and finally dumping protons. Then engineers will power down the magnets and start the process all over again.
    “Everything will behave exactly as if there is beam,” Albert says. “This way we can validate that these systems will all run together.”
    Operators practiced sending beams of protons part of the way around the ring earlier this month.
    During this test, engineers will keep a particularly close eye on the LHC’s superconducting magnet circuits, which received major work and upgrades during the shutdown.
    “The whole magnet system was taken apart and put back together again, and with upgraded magnet protection systems everything needs to be very carefully checked out,” Lamont says. “In fact, this has been going on for the last six months in the powering tests.”

    When the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts

    So far, the LHC has searched for mini black holes at energy levels below 5.3 TeV.




    I would imagine the haarp effect would play havoc with electrical instruments.....
