The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is set to begin construction on a new high-risk bio-weapons research facility on the campus of Kansas State University in Manhattan Kansas.
The new facility will feature research on biolevel 3 and 4 viruses - some without any known cures - and other potentially dangerous materials.

"Manhattan, Kansas, faces a number of worrisome hazards. These hazards include flooding, dam failure, earthquakes, and tornadoes.
