Sounds like pretty sloppy engineering!

Oh, it’s haDRon!! I had the D and the R interchanged and thought it was about some encounter in San Francisco.

...the idea of time traveling particles returning from the future to prevent their own discovery is beginning to seem less and less far fetched. Knowing how little I comprehend the purpose and ultimate good for mankind (?) this machine is for, I can only wonder how we'll know anything happened if the particles prevent their own discovery. My brain hurts, I'll stop wondering now.

You’d think they’d at least built a lean-to cover over equipment that can cause a system-wide failure.

I’ve heard some people speculate there is a possibility that this machine could produce microscopic black holes. Of course the scientists say that they have done some calculations, and these black holes, if created, probably wouldn’t actually suck up our entire planet. I guess that is reassuring.

What could have gone wrong? The LHC combines the best practices of European engineering: French diligence; German imagination; and British organization.

Somethings going on. Bad design on a multi billion machine?
It's happened before and will again.
Or something somewhere will not let us do this.
There's a great sci-fi story in there.
Need to check probably already been written.
Need to figure out the implications of the above sentence

Are you sure Joseph “a gentleman doesn’t go motoring about after dark” Lucas didn’t have a hand in the engineering of this fine piece of equipment?

Honestly, it’s starting to sound more like engineering sabotage, more than “sloppy” engineering.
