GR predicts a totally different scenario. To the observer the probe will reach a maximum velocity at 3 times the radius of the event horizon. Assuming the probe is not destroyed by tidal forces, it will then slow down and come to a grinding halt at the event horizon.

This is tied in with gravitational redshift. An object at the event horizon is literally frozen in time. The information is still there as it hasn't crossed the horizon and never will.”


There is a small problem with this theory. If by some extremely unlikely accident a miniature black hole is created in LHC, there is no problem. It will commence swallowing surrounding molecules and slowly grow large and large. But from observers point of view (being in different frame of reference) nothing will happen as the matter drawn to the black hole will stop at event horizon frozen in time.
