The Denver Airport | Nazi Runway? or Just another Airport?

Denver Airport Denver International Airport (DIA) is an international airport located in Northeast Denver, Colorado, United States. It was opened on February 28, 1995, and is the largest airport in the Western Hemisphere by land area and the second largest on Earth, behind King Fahd International Airport. The airport has traditionally been home to one of the busiest airports in the United States because its midcontinent location was ideal for an airline hub 1. Denver International Airport replaced Stapleton International Airport, which had served as Denver’s primary airport for sixty-five years. The airport was renamed Stapleton, after the mayor who presided over its development, in 1944. The airport grew after World War II until it was the world’s fifth-busiest air hub by the 1980s. Stapleton International Airport, which served as Denver’s primary airport for sixty-five years, was replaced by Denver International Airport (DIA) in 1995. The decision to replace Stapleton was made due to several problems with the airport, including inadequate lateral separation between runways, leading to long waits during instrument-flight operations.

It has now become home to some of the most talked about conspiracies. Nazi runways, remote locations, underground bunkers, aliens, and artistic depictions of the apocalypse. Just to name a few.
