The airport that launched a thousand conspiracy theories...

No airport in the world has been the subject of such persistent conspiracy theories as Denver International, which celebrates its 20th birthday today.

Soon after the first flight – United’s service to Kansas City – left the tarmac, the murmurings began. They initially focused on the view of the airport from above.

Why, asked some, does it so uncannily resemble a swastika? Surely this is evidence of some evil right-wing plot?

A coincidence, surely? Many airports, particularly those with four or more runways, must look like this from above? Well, not really.

But there’s more. Conspiracy theorists soon turned their attention to the airport’s interior. Over the years Denver International has made strides to fill its terminal building with artwork. There was Mustang, by El Paso artist Luis Jiménez. The giant sculpture actually killed poor Jiménez in 2006, two years before Denver adopted it. A section of it fell on him, severing an artery in his leg. Full story...
