The Superconducting Super Collider to be built in Waxahatchie, Texas was indeed canceled in 1993, but not due to safety issues.

In 1987 Congress was told the project would cost $4.4 billion, by 193 the cost had risen to over $12 billion. At the same time NASA was contributing a similar amount to the International Space Station. It was argued that the country could not afford both and the Superconducting Super Collider was canceled.
