That's the point, it doesn't. But not because there is a presence of a black hole at Cern.Who says?
If you aim a particle at the dead centre of a black hole, why would it deviate?
Note that I understood the analogy. But the analogy actually holds only if spacetime is flat (as it is at Cern). A black hole is the very opposite of flat, it is curved (warped) and there are no opposites, it's all one direction, down, aimed at the center of the vortex.
I mentioned it only as a qualifier of Nebel's example of Cern, which uses a destructive collision method to look at potential smaller particles than are known to exist.
But to my knowledge none of the Cern experiments are designed to simulate behavior inside a black hole singularity. How could one possibly identify such a thing, let alone create it and then study it...

The (minor) point is that regardless of direction, all infalling paths (directions) in a black hole are aimed at the dead center, but not at each other as they would be in a "head-on" collision trajectory. The BH singularity itself stands between impacts from all possible directions.
The paths of infalling stuff in a black hole run from angular at the horizon to near parallel at the bottom of the vortex. But regardless of direction the particle would land at the singularity first and stay there, no?
