  • On 13 July 1978, Bugorski was checking a malfunctioning piece of equipment when the safety mechanisms failed. Bugorski was leaning over the equipment when he stuck his head in the path of the 76 GeV proton beam. Reportedly, he saw a flash "brighter than a thousand suns" but did not feel any pain. This is what happened next

    I only spent 48 hours working on a neutron beam in the UK. I was responsible for placing our samples directly in the beam pit on our neutron beam coming off the Rutherford Appleton lab's accelerator.
    There were a ton of safety interlocks culminating in two keys further apart than a single person could turn to free the path to the beam. Gates only opened when a huge concrete block cut off our beam.
    But what puzzles me is that on our neutron beam it was easy to hear and even see as a blue glow coming from the beam if one looked down onto it as it entered and exited our apparatus.
    Not sure what a Proton beam would do differently but I find it hard to understand it wouldn't be audible and visible as it interacted with air.

      @@silverrob6868 This seems to demonstrate that the "light" he saw wasn't actually light. Light - photons - hits the eyes, stimulates rods and cones, sends signals to the optic nerve which sends signals to the brain. Something that is too bright damages the stuff inside the eyes and causes blindness.
      What he saw didn't go through the same process. He 'saw' light, but anyone else who was watching (but wasn't getting blasted) wouldn't see the light, 'cause the light wasn't actually there. No photons ever hit his eyes. The reason he 'saw' something might be because the protons blasting through the optic nerve itself might have caused them to send a false signal through the brain that it interpreted at light, even though no true light has hit his eyes. Or, particles burrowing through the brain caused direct stimulation of the visual parts of said brain - causing another false signal that he perceived as light.
      TLDR; Protons going through nerves and his brain caused it to glitch out. Like when you whack an old TV really hard it'll flash static.

    Not only he was one of the few who understand what could have happened but probably most of this facility purpose and technology was classified. I'm not even surprised he had a problem with getting admitted to the hospital and that doctors didn't believe him. He couldn't say much besides "I'm almost positive that I have received lethal dose of radiation and I'm starting to experience radiation sickness, I can't tell you details it is classified."

      It is 1978. A man experienced - for a moment - an event so familiar I cannot see it’s details, but a single particle unique among the others, now far off it’s course, sings in known tones to me. It tries to tell me what happened…
      It is 2021. I’ve just liked a comment on CZcams. I recall a wayward particle in its words.
      It is 2010. The neural pathways of my brain fire excitedly as the black and yellow cover of a large book thuds against the tabletop. I smile, wiping a streak of ketchup from my cheek.
      It is 2021, and I feel the fleeting feeling of kinship with a man - made of matter and an energy familiar to me. It vibrated so uniquely among the others as to seem wayward.

    Excellent video! So interesting (and sad) to hear about his battle for compensation. Where is he now?
    Did want to add a bit of clarification - 70GeV protons don't lose their energy in the way that ~MeV particles do. At thee energies, they will tend to interact with atomic nuclei and smash them apart. They then produce many other subatomic particles (pions, kaons, etc) which go on to induce further reactions. The process is known as deep inelastic scattering. This continues until the average particle energy is of order 1 GeV, at which point the energy per particle is not enough to break nucleons apart - and ionisation losses begin to take over. In this high-energy regime, energy losses tend to be exponential - protons lose a fraction of their energy in each interaction, with a characteristic length known as the "interaction length" between each interaction. It's actually really difficult to find data on this, since nobody in their right mind radiates humans with ~70 GeV protons! (I made some simulations once with 100 GeV protons for geant 3.21 once, can't find the data now though...) Typically however, the proton interaction length in the human body would be of the order of tens of cm, meaning that I expect these protons, and their secondary particles, deposited a significant fraction of their energy in the guy's brain (say, 10%?). While I'm not a medical physicist, I expect the main reason he did not die is that most radiation poisoning occurs when the entire body is irradiated, destroying (for instance!) the ability of the body to replenish the immune system. However, here, 99.9% of his body was fine. It was just a relatively small part that got completely ****ed.

      The engineer was complaining that the failure light was on even though the power supply seemed to be working.

When he did the red light turned off and a green one turned on and I've been paranoid ever since 🙃😂

      ​@@nightlight0x07cc Well, I guess those two green lights would be connected to each other by a small wire bridge and farther signal wire would be swapped or not by a lucky coincidence or engineer attentiveness :) I would definitely add a limit switch on the door. Emergency circuit is very simple cheap and kinda standart for any industrial machine for a long time already. I'm confused by the fact that they've built such complicated facility and they had for example telephones to comunicate about if he can go inside or not and on the other hand there were no door limit switch + relay + buzzer circuit.

      The stories of the German machine gunners who would mow down our soldiers with machine guns while our troops would try to attack their gun nests with freaking knives may again seem heroic, but in reality it is so stupid and wasteful. The troops did not have enough guns and were ordered to attack such fortified positions by their officers. They could not retreat because they would be shot by their own commanders, so all they could do is attack the German troops in hope of overwhelming them.
