Excited to introduce Enhanced Radar. We're at the start of a long-term mission to make air travel safer. (1/4) x.com/ycombinator/st…

The Denver Airport is a case Study in Engineering classes at College about exactly how NOT to build an airport.
DIA's physical dimensions result from the requirements of the force array required to keep Blucifer imprisoned
“King Fahd airport is bigger than NYC”
“JFK or LaGuardia?”
“Both. All boroughs combined.”
So you’re saying we have the technology to cover San Francisco in a roof and cut it off from the rest of the world?
That’s what happens when you build an airport on top of the underworld.

I suspected as much when I flew from Japan to Denver and had to walk 3.5 miles from the gate to passport control.
Yup just like DFW Dallas-Fort Worth Airport is bigger than Manhattan, NYC
Denver airport is terrible but at least it has a pretty good traffic management system. Lines move quickly.
I’d HATE traveling if I lived in Atlanta lmao
Here’s a fun one. El Paso Texas is closer to San Diego California than it is to Houston Texas.
people dont realize this is because one of the earliest largest underground military and research bases is accessed via the Denver Airport

What’s Happening on San Francisco Streets With Homelessness
The entire airport with all the surrounding land. Not just the terminals. It's also bigger than Manhattan island.
But Denver airport is probably the nicest airport I’ve ever been to in the United States
Is this the one with all the crazy Satanist art and portals n shit? Makes sense if so
Denver Airport is ~48km2 and San Franciso, the city, is ~85km2
Those conspiracy theories though… It is definitely creepy
Snow Fox limo provides luxury private transportation between DIA (Denver International Airport) and Eagle County Regional Airport. We also provide services to/from Aspen Pitkin County Airport, Grand Junction Airport, Steamboat, Colorado Springs

The Denver airport is so out of the way, living downtown it was easier to catch the train at union station to go to and from there.
California’s “paper” wetland restorations?
One small island, a vanished Delta Smelt, and a $39M fine expose what might be the biggest eco-cover-up in the Bay-Delta.
Weird how "just San Francisco (city and county)" is technically just the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula.
Wait what? Someone accidentally compared an entire city to an airport? Big brain energy right there
What would America look like if believers stepped boldly into the public square? Follow Truth & Liberty to explore how biblical truth can shape our nation.
Summarize the engineering problems encountered during construction of the Denver Airport.
It also houses one of the world's largest airport public art collections, featuring many local artists.
Who said the airport can't be part of your travel plans?
This the kinda shit I be sharing at 2AM as I scroll Twitter after smoking too much meth in a state on the East Coast.
You know what’s really crazy? The airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is roughly 6 times larger than the Denver airport and spans approximately 300 square miles.
Once I stayed in the Denver airport overnight. I remember two things: The bathrooms were mid and I had a strange dream about people in goat masks
I’ve been to SF three times and the first time the disparity between the $12 million homes on the hills and homeless was depressing
Fun fact! My uncle had a wheat farm out there when I was a kid in the '60s. We used to farm wheat and I used to kill rattlesnakes on what it is now. One of the runways at that airport. Best time in the world growing up
Denver is definitely the nicest airport I’ve ever been through! Astronomically huge, though. Going through is a workout
it is also the second largest airport in the world if i remember correctly!
also DIA is the best airport because it has the best conspiracies
(also blucifer is awesome)
every single fact about DIA is the coolest fact about any airport ever, truly the wildest place
There wasn't poop all over the airport when I went there.
There was like a 10+ minute taxi by the plane after landing on one of the runways. I've never taxied so long on a plane.
San Francisco airport: 8 sq miles
City of San Francisco: 47 sq miles
Denver Airport Area: 54 sq miles
Mind boggling
That airport was MASSIVE and I felt like I couldn’t ever reach the other end of it lol. I felt like I was trapped in 12 ikeas all at once
This is the most hilarious thread I've seen in a while. Every time I drive past Blucifer, I feel in my gut I am passing through a gateway to hell.
Saying Denver International Airport (DEN) is ‘bigger’ than San Francisco is misleading. While DEN’s total land area (33,531 acres) exceeds SF’s land area (30,016 acres), only ~172 acres of DEN is actually built. Meanwhile, SF is nearly fully developed. Total land ≠ actual size.
Never been to Denver airport but the layout looks like a total shit storm. Runways too far from the terminal and the terminal looks tiny. And the transport to the terminal looks like traffic would be jammed to shit all the time. I hate airports like this no flow in or out!
i’m still not over how lost and confusing this place was. own our personal hell.
Denver is one of the 3 cities that house American continuity of government infrastructure. I would assume its related to that
i remember getting lost in the denver airport and there was no people or signs anywhere, just plain white walls and chairs
Yes but where else could I spend a night on an awful cot on the mezzanine with 100 people who also missed their flight. They even provided a kinda blanket and pillow
The airport itself is way smaller than San Francisco. The area counts all the empty land that surrounds the airport and runways. So misleading.
reminds me of a meme in China: if you are at Chengdu Tianfu airport you are 2 hours away from any city in China. including Chengdu.
The DIA airport is not bigger than San Francisco.
DIA and all the unused land around it is bigger than San Francisco.
i always loved the denver airport. kinda sad i can’t see it every time i travel anymore
Denver airport is so fucking weird dude why is it so big why it just..why? Why? I don't get it
-colorado citizen
My dad's a huge DIA fan, will bring this stat and how Denver is one of the world's busiest airports any chance he gets
LOL reminds me of a saying about Frankfurt and FRA Airport: "A small city at the end of a long runway".
The King Fahd International Airport in Saudi Arabia is bigger than the neighboring country of Bahrain.
Denver airport, even if doesn't hold any secrets, is such a bizarre place. As if Willy Wonka designed it.
Have they expanded it? DIA was always bigger than Stapleton, but not especially so iirc.
And yet they still put the rental car center in Kansas so it takes a half hour to get your car. Inexcusable.
I'm waiting for the Maglev train to connect it to the Colorado Space Port. I won't be alive to see the need for it, but it'll be cool.
