I spent the last two years being a grad student at Fermilab; now the Tevatron is on its final run. The link above is to the live video of the end of this monumental experiment. A sad day for particle physics.
Here's a BBC article on the event. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-

Edit: I pasted the wrong link to start with!

Edit 2: The last store has been taken. All that's left is the lab director making a speech about the future of Fermilab.

Edit 3: That's all folks. The end of an era.

May its spark join the Matrix, the greatest of Cybertron.

It seems the stream isn't working. Is it already down?

I'm watching the stream at the moment. They're doing a tour of the CDF control room. I can't say why or why not the stream may be working, I hope it isn't only available to those with a fermilab website account or something...
