They say it's not impossible for a reaction at the facility in Long Island I think to get out of control and swallow the earth.

Swallow the earth? "They" would be fiction writers.

So, will a black hole consume the planet?

Some people have suggested that a microscopic black hole, spawned by the powerful crash of subatomic particles racing through the LHC’s tunnels, could potentially suck up the Earth.

But physicists say these fears are unfounded. For one, creating a black hole at LHC is extremely unlikely based on the laws of gravity alone, CERN officials say. But even if it did happen, as a few highly speculative theories suggest, the miniscule black hole would be so unstable it would disintegrate immediately before it had time to gobble up any of the matter on Earth.

You were right lol!
