Speaking of nuclear bombs...

I believe naysayers, prior to the testing of the first atomic bombs, were saying that the detonation would spark an uncontrollable reaction and burn away the atomosphere.

Okay, so the LHC is offline until spring 2009 while the investigate and repair the cause of the leak in the helium cooling system.

But, I think what we all want to know is what exactly happened when they realised there was a leak of helium? Were they all running around saying "oh no, it's broken," in high-pitched voices? I like to think so. ;)
