In Response To: OT: Bower line on LHC disaster? (CamFella)

1 in 250 was the original estimate of failure for the Shuttle missions ... we know that was a bit off ...

If the probability of failure really is 1 in 250, then there is a 1 out of 12 chance of having had at least two failures by this time. Last roll of the game... you need double fours or better.
