The majority of us has considered what the world would look like if it were to succumb to a bio warfare attack. This topic is the fuel for the media fire lately with movies and shows. Quentin Tarantino's thriller Planet Terror is an excellent example of biological warfare gone wrong. While in itself, the movie can be portrayed as science fiction and darkly whimsical. Although, the thought Zombies and viral outbreaks may not be as science fiction as you wish it to be.
Just off the northeast coast of New York lies a small island, Plum Island. Plum Island was originally a base to prevent German U-boats from our shores during World War II. Since the war ended it has since become the home to an animal-disease center. It is a top secret government laboratory working in close corridors with deadly viruses.

They do a number of unprecedented experiments on animals, insects, AND humans. Only in recent years have these allegations been proven with alien-like discoveries on the shores of the east coast. There have been a few unknown creatures to wash up on our shores which were later called the Montauk Monster. This "monster is a result of cross-breeding gone awry on the island. that isn't where the discoveries end, in January 2010 a strangely deformed human body washed ashore in New York. The body showed evidence of the 6ft tall man being recently deceased. the body was dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, not typical wear for the dead of winter in New York. His apparel was the least suspicious. Upon further examination of the body they discovered 5 holes drilled into the mans head and unnaturally long fingers.
The master mind behind this animal-disease center is a German man known by the name of Erich Traub. Traub was not only a virologist but was also one of Hitlers men. Traub was not disciplined for the inhumane acts that he constructed but was wanted by not only The United States but the Soviets as well. Everyone wanted to cash in on the intellect that came from the Nazis. They viewed Traub as a genius and the winning ticket to the next war. Traub specialized in infecting bugs (mosquitoes and ticks more specifically) with deadly diseases. He believed insects were the key to biological warfare. His baby, however was foot-to-mouth disease (viral disease from hoofed mammals in which he reveled in. As an experiment he took various hoofed mammals and injected the virus then let the animals out in Russian territory.
Lyme Disease made its appearance in Lyme, CT in 1975. Lyme disease WAS created by the government as a method of bio-weaponry and is patented by the Department of Defense.

First hearing about Plum Island is pretty terrifying in itself, but it can and will get scarier. The plan is to move the laboratory to Kansas. Kansas, the heart of America, our source of livestock, and smack dab in tornado alley. America was in some danger by it being on its own island but relocating would be imminent danger for life as we know it.
I encourage you to do your research on this island of doom for I have merely only scratched the surface.
