"Man, I've been in their underground part, every 5 years they open for public and open the detectors themselves."
This isn't every 5 years, the detectors are available for the public to visit every winter, and often at other times of the year as well.
Pictures simply don't do it justice. One can't replace physical travelling and experiencing things (and people) for whatever purpose and this shows it well.
That being said, since I live not far from there, I certainly hope that containment is flawless, don't want to experience matter-antimatter annihilation of non-trivial amounts anywhere near my kids, or myself for that matter (NIMBYism at its best, get your damn antimatter off my lawn!)
