Denver Airport Melts Down, Looks Like A Post-Apocalyptic Prison
Denver airport’s train system has broken down. Only one train can run every ten minutes, as noted by aviation watchdog JonNYC. Passengers are backing up waiting for trains and inside the terminal and people are missing flights, as the airport runs buses from the A concourse to other concourses.
“Photos don’t even begin to show how chaotic it is in DEN now. Problem with concourse train rail. One train every 10 minutes. Getting ready to run busses between concourses, impacting aircraft traffic.
This is going to last *days* until parts and maintenance flown in.” pic.twitter.com/HGmPiTAsB4

If you’re traveling through Denver, hopefully you’re not changing airlines and can remain inside the same concourse. If you’re traveling out of Denver, expect to use the “A bridge” security checkpoint and walk to the A concourse. From there you can get transportation to other concourses.
- Security at Denver takes a long time anyway. It will be longer than ever with more passengers using the A bridge checkpoint.
- The busing arrangement will be slow. Allow extra time.
- Things aren’t expected to be fixed quickly, potentially taking days as they wait for parts.
Around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the airport provided an update, saying buses and additional staff are being deployed to supplement taking passengers from the terminal to the concourses.
“Passengers will either be guided by [DIA] staff to board a train or to take a bus from Concourse A to concourses B and C,”

The airport for its part just cites “technical issues” for the meltdown. That’s been an ongoing theme, as the airport’s train system broke down for a couple of days in October. Maybe it’s the swastika runway, time capsule from the New World Airport Commission or the gargoyles guarding baggage claim.

Firefighters say a car crash was the cause of a large fire that broke out north of the Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon.
The Brighton Fire Rescue District says a vehicle was traveling through the area of E. 120th Avenue and N. Watkins Road around 2 p.m. when it crashed. Fortunately, the people inside the vehicle did not suffer serious injuries, but the fire department says the vehicle’s catalytic converter caught the nearby grass on fire.
The 120 Fire quickly grew, and firefighters responded with engines, brush trucks and water tenders to attack it from multiple sides. Multiple agencies responded to assist as the winds continued to push the fire across the grassland.
It covered around 237 acres by the time firefighters brought it under control around 3:30 p.m. BFRD says firefighters continued to put out hotspots and monitor a large cottonwood tree that was smoldering nearly 30 feet up the trunk.
With Independence Day approaching, the fire rescue district shared a reminder that a single spark can ignite a fast-moving grass fire. They added that aerial fireworks are illegal in Brighton and pose a serious fire risk in the current conditions.
