Colliding With Bread

I wonder how much they're overbudget at this point:
The Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant leak destroyed some of the magnets that guide the energy beam. Then LHC officials postponed the restart of the machine to add additional safety features. Now, a bird dropping a piece of bread on a section of the accelerator has, according to the Register, shut down the whole operation.
First a coolant leak,
now bread dropped from a beak -
they're on an unlucky streak!
