LOL...the comedian Woody Allen once said, "You don't have to be paranoid when you know they are out to get you."

The airport was built on land sold by the family of then Mayor of Denver Federico Pena (Who then became the Secretary of DOT). It was supposed to be a multi-modal hub with trains, buses, trucks, and light rail all connecting there. That never happened and now you stand outside in blizzard conditions waiting for the rental car buses...

I guess you can make anything you want from the murals. Remember, it is Denver...a place once inhabited by native indians of different tribes.

The New World Airport Commission did exist. It was part of the Department of Transportation's move to redesign airports as modally connected hubs of transportation instead of standalone locations in the middle of nowhere. Atlanta was another one build in that same timeframe. They are the ones where you have to take a tram or sixteen different escalators to get from the main area to the gates...it never really worked out well in my opinion...

I love some of their "facts" like the 5300 miles of fiber optics is more than "the entire US" (which actually around 80 million miles, not 3000.)

The company my brother-in-law runs actually did all that cable and router work there. It was a nightmare. The hardest part was straightening out the baggage transport propblem at the time. You can still get to car rental underground there, no. I have twice. It was pretty easy. The first time through there I was amazed at all the Brazilians working there. Last time I landed there we had to change planes. Nose of the plane had to be set down hard because of the cross-wind and it bent the front wheel strut. Very interesting state.
