And you knew there would be tunnels, right?

Daily What?! There Is An Underground Network of Tunnels at Columbia University

What is now possibly the worst kept secret at Columbia’s Morningside campus, an intricate network of tunnels connects many of the school’s buildings. The history however, is still fascinating. These tunnels date back to 1900 when the campus was home to another institution: Bloomingdale’s Insane Asylum. The only remnants of this asylum that exist on Columbia’s campus are these underground tunnels and Buell Hall which was an original structure from Bloomingdale’s. The tunnels are still in use today, though the university is increasingly limiting access due to rogue tunnel explorers and other hazards, many of which are remains from another famous use for the tunnels: the Manhattan Project.

The Manhattan Project : see my comment on Enrico Fermi.

Good story. I didn't know it was fiction at first, haha

Why would they not put out a fiction to debunk the tunnels? Any mention forthwith would be debunked as such.
