A teenage girl in India has killed herself after reportedly being traumatised by reports that the Large Hadron Collider "Big Bang" experiments may have apocalyptic consequences.
The 16-year-old drank pesticide and was rushed to hospital but later died.
Her father told reporters his daughter, Chayya, committed suicide after seeing the doomsday predictions on Indian television.
"In the past two days, Chayya had asked me and other relatives about the world coming to an end on Sept. 10," he said.
"We tried to divert her attention and told her she should not worry about such things, but to no avail."
Over the past two days reports of experiments to be conducted in a huge particle accelerator buried under the border between France and Switzerland have caused furor throughout deeply religious and superstitious India.
Thousands of people in the country's east rushed to temples to pray ofr salvation, while outhers stockpiled food in anticipation of the global disaster, which some predict the Large Hadron Collider will cause.
Leading physicists and researchers have dismissed the doomsday predictions and insist the experiment is safe. |

Sounds like one of those types that are traumatised when they find out santa is not real.
If you believe in Santa please disregard the above statement. |

And God saw that it was good, and he said, "BANG!"
Then again, maybe it went "BANG!" all by itself.
Would it matter to anyone with half a brain?
It went "zip" when it moved, and "pop" when it stopped, and "whirrrr" when it stood still, and I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will. |

| I had a feeling that might happen as many people took their own lives in 1992 when a clown said heaps of people were going to get picked up by a bus and that person went to gaol for that. Don't worry be happy and do not be afraid the creator hold s the Earth in the palm of his hand. |

| A suicide because of the hadron experiment ?, I don't think so, more like to much curry & kerosine baths. |
