The magnet just quenched next to my trailer. The explosion was quite loud and lasted quite a long time. I suspect that Accelerator Division is cursing itself right now. This is also a bit strange since the Tevatron is supposed to be off. At least I thought it was. There is now a plume of helium gas headed straight for the stratosphere, so I guess I was wrong.
Clearly God is sending me a message by blowing crap up next to my office, but I'm damned if I understand the message. He really needs a director's commentary with his miracles.
Note: This is just an explosive vent of gas due to a cooling problem. No people with tenure were harmed in the making of this post.
