Why can't we access the tunnels under Columbia?

The tunnels have been the site of controversial experiments in the past, such as the radioactive experiments conducted by Professor David E. Barnes in the 1940s and 1950s. Barnes used a small nuclear reactor in the tunnels to conduct research on the effects of radiation exposure on human cells. This research was conducted without the knowledge or consent of the subjects involved, and it has been criticized as unethical and potentially dangerous.

As a result of these past experiments, the university has implemented strict controls on access to the tunnels. Only authorized personnel, such as maintenance workers and security personnel, are allowed to enter the tunnels. The university takes safety and security very seriously and is committed to protecting the health and well-being of its students and staff.
