Have You Heard They’re Building New Tunnels At Colorado’s DIA?

Almost since it opened back in the 90s, conspiracies about Denver International Airport have run rampant across Colorado, and in fact, most of the United States. From the iconic Blucifer statue to what occupied the land in the centuries before the airport was built to the widespread rumor about an entire underworld built in tunnels underneath the airport, people have speculated for years that there's more than meets the eye about what's going on at DIA.

Now, the airport is adding fuel to that conspiracy theory fire by adding additional tunnels to the property.

The West Gates Pond Expansion project has been in the works for quite some time, and DIA officials have pulled the curtain back on what exactly it is and its purpose - even if with a little tongue-in-cheek social media post in a nod to the conspiracy theorists over the years.

The purpose of the project is to upgrade the airport's deicing system, by creating additional storage ponds for deicing fluid, improving storm drainage and adding new pads for planes to park while being deiced prior to takeoff.

This includes the construction of a huge tunnel - 2,050 feet long - plus others that run beneath one of the runways and are nearly a mile long in total.

How long do you think it will take before someone claims that big retention pond looks like a bunker for UFO's to land and be hidden? Think about that while your plane is being de-iced this winter, prior to take off. I can hear it now: Is it actually de-icing fluid they're spraying on there? Or UFO fuel?
