On: The LHC “nightmare scenario” has come true

I would imagine that some people believe being "lost" is a greater catastrophe than being dead.

Personally, I'm in the it's all good unless you create a black hole, explosion, or gateway to someplace we don't want to visit or want visitors from.

As long as we've got Gordon Freeman and a crowbar, we're all good.

I sometimes wonder if modern SciFi and games have actually kept up with the lessons they have already added to the collective culture over the years. If CERN suddenly had velociraptors pouring out of some gate they created, what would the real world reaction be? I'm betting it wouldn't be blind panic. I get the feeling the Swiss could handle it themselves.
