CERN has released an interim report on the 9/19 incident:

Interesting reading, especially the full report posted here:
https://edms.cern.ch/file/973073/1/Report_on_080919_incident_at_LHC__2_.pdf
It includes a detailed primer on the LHC configuration and layout, which is essential for understanding where the problem started (an electrical bus between two magnets) and how it spread to the cryogenic system.























Many thanks for the timely heads up on the report.
Very interesting.
Oh and by the way I found the Holy Grail of electrical interconnections!
Thanks a lot for this blog. I finally found official press release by your links
