It creates a microscopic, non-degenerative black hole (shades of the TV series four LEX season 3 here) that grows to eat the Earth.

Guess folk worrying about that don't realise black holes form and evapourate around them trillions of time a second at a quantum level. You need serious amount of compressed matter to create a non degenerative black hole! I'd posit that 5 TeV won't quite get you there, high energy gamma and cosmic rays hit the Earth a few times every year from gamma ray bursters...
