DIA

[Gman]

A blizzard a few years after opening that stranded travelers on the road to the point the guard had to be activated to rescue them.

I seem to recall it was a game of "Not It!" played by government entities denying responsibility for plowing Pena.

Thought it was the boycott of the CHIK-FIL-A opening on concourse B

Same thing that happened to the baggage handling system. DIA was a way for a bunch of politicians to sell their worthless prairie land for a killing. There was nothing wrong with Stapleton, and in fact they had just overhauled all the concourses just months before. Then after closing the old airport they tear down the runway bridge over I-70, then a few years later build another bridge over 70 almost in exactly the same place. I could go on but you get the drift. The whole thing smells as bad as the stadium that they just had to build when the old mile high could have been refurbished for much less money, but hey, we got more skyboxes, and less seats for the rabble, and Bolen has made out like a bandit on taxpayer dollars. Given an "open wallet", govt will burn through money like a pothead in a "dispensary".

What happened to the sales line that because of its placement it would never be shut down for weather? Never have delays? 24/7/365 open and running.

Not even going to stick my hand in this bag of... DIA is an anomaly, wrapped in a conundrum and topped with misinformation. That said, there is more wrong with some posts here than with DIA.

Blame the lizard people. It's always the lizard people.

They also stopped DEN arrivals yesterday morning for about 45min due to a fire alarm and evacuation at the TRACON. Crappy morning all around.
