Denver International Airport ... a secret military bunker?


Ok.  I was skeptical at first too...till I read the little blurb the Survival Spot Blog has on it. 
Denver International Airport is one of the nations largest and busiest new airports. At over 53 square miles, the Denver International Airport is the largest international airport in the United States and the third in the world.
While there is no physical proof of a bunker at this location, there is a lot of tertiary evidence to support the claim. Some interesting facts about DIA that may support this conclusion are:
  • The budget far exceeded original projections (original budget was 1.7 billion and ended up costing 4.8 billion)
  • There is a large network of subterranean tunnels here, used for an “automated baggage system”. When the system failed miserably, they spent 1 million dollars per day for several months worth to repair it. Eventually in 2005, the airport abandoned this automated system all together to save 1 million per month of maintenance costs.
  • The airport has extensive alternative energy systems, uncharacteristic of the modern airport.
  • There are many very important military installations nearby including: Cheyenne Mountain, NORAD, Peterson AFB, United States Space Command, Air defense mission, United States Northern Command and dozens of major business headquarters
  • Some famous people who live or have purchased homes in Colorado are: Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes, Oprah Winfrey, Oliver Stone, Richard Holbrooke, Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr., Prince Bandar (wealthy Saudi Prince), Michael Eisner, David & Victoria Beckham, Condoleeza Rice
  • Significant quantities of earth (110 million cubic yards) have been removed from the site, far more than is traditionally necessary
  • 5 buildings were built incorrectly and new buildings were placed on top of them
  • Granite was imported from all over the world for the airport
  • The fueling system can pump 1000 gallons of jet fuel per minute, which is far more than any commercial airport could need
  • There around 5300 miles of fiber optics installed (the United States coast to coast is 3000 miles)
I admit its all circumstantial but it does seem to add up.

Northern Command continues it legacy of failure.

The below pics are from the flooding in the midwest.  If this had occurred in some far off land then you would see the US Navy sending ships at flank speed to the crisis.

Even if everyone involved knew that they could do very little.

The USMC would be assembling a SPMAGTF to deal with the situation and Marines would be brought back from leave or schooling to make sure that it was filled out...

The US Army would be gathering a Brigade Task Force to help out.

The USAF would be boasting of how its C-17's are flying supplies into the trouble spot while other forces are getting assembled.

This is happening in the center of the US and it barely gets mentioned.  Celebrations are held for 'gay rights'...the so called budget impasse is debated...but people who have or are in the process of losing all their worldly possessions are ignored.

America, you attempt to take care of the world yet ignore your own.  We should be ashamed.

The Souris River is swelling in size and breaching dikes built to contain the water here, June 24. By June 29, Mouse River pressures and heights will reach unprecedented levels seven to ten feet higher than the all time record with pressures reaching approximately 16,000 cubic feet per second. On June 22, the river breached the levees and the warning sirens sounded requiring the immediate evacuation of over 11,000 Minot residents to include nearly 1,000 Minot Air Force Global Strike Command airmen.
North Dakota Army National Guard soldiers from the 817th Engineer Company, from left to right, Spc. Ryan Lindberg, Spc. Michael Young, and Staff Sgt. Jason Lothspeich wade through flood water to sling-load one-ton sandbags from a flatbed truck onto a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter June 24, at a flood levee near 13th Street and Railway Avenue, Minot, N.D. The North Dakota National Guard helicopter is being loaded with the large sandbags from a flatbed truck parked in flood water near the levee and placing the sandbags on an area of concern in the flood water of the Souris River. National Guard dump trucks are also responding to the site as they haul flood levee building material in an effort to create a flood barrier for a residential area, which has not yet been flooded. Several residential areas of Minot were inundated with flood water on June 24, leaving thousands of people homeless.
A U.S. flag waves above nearly 10 feet of water in Minot, N.D., June 26. The Souris River has inundated the city and reached a historic height. Minot Mayor Curt Zimbelman estimates 4,000 homes have been damaged by the flooding.

The scene from inside the levee system around Minot leaves little question as to the devastating effects of flood waters on homes here, June 24. With water levels continuing to rise and the Lake Darling Dam increasing the flow of water it releases to 29,000 cubic feet per second, many around Minot wonder how much of the city will have to be evacuated and how many people will be left without a home.
