"Thank you Waldo, for the history, but this is about the unexplained underground construction and the murals depicting genocide. Having looked at the youtube clips provided by Warph, it is quite disturbing. Why are such pictures displayed in a public place?"
Ah yes, the huge unexplained underground construction and the pathetic artwork. There is a connection of sorts between the two, you know.
There is a law in Colorado and elsewhere that requires public building construction will have at least one percent of the total construction cost devoted to artwork. In this day and time, especially, what is art to some may or may not be art to others, but that is the way it goes. And government says that when it is spending millions and millions of dollars on art work there will not or cannot be discrimination, especially when it comes to minority artists such as the folks who painted the controversial scenes.
A lot of people in the City and County of Denver were against construction of a new airport believing that Stapleton was adequate and they as taxpayers did not want to spend billions on a new one; however, they lost their case to the majority. The final cost came to almost $5 billion with a $2 billion overrun. Currently, the airport is undergoing an additional $500 million of construction.
The first time I rode the underground train in ‘95 I was a taken aback. I was in the first car where I could see the tracks ahead and suddenly realized there was no driver or train engineer. Each train stops at four stations and is run remotely with computer software. I traveled frequently when I was working and on subsequent train rides I was a little more comfortable. But there are several trains running at the same time with several junctions to traverse, so in my mind I was “curious” about collisions. However, in almost twenty years since the airport opened I have not heard of a train wreck or a bump. (The train tubes also have artwork on all the walls)
There have been, though, several times when a train or trains have just stopped. The stoppage stranded everyone on board until airport personnel could arrive and manually drive the trains to their destinations. I was not on board when any of these stoppages occurred but most all have made the news. A major problem is that someone stranded on a stopped train does not have an option to walk the rest of the way. They have to wait however long it takes for the train to move. There is just no underground alternative for walking. Many people call that oversight a major design flaw but it was presumably deliberate so as not to disturb the resident underground alien Lizard People. These people are a smart bunch. They have taken over the underground and they secretly scheme with some elite liberals for the rise of a New World Order. These folks may also be responsible for stopping the trains by having their black hat computer hackers sabotage the airport computers. They are also believed to have short circuited some of the trains.
As to the huge underground construction, which houses the several miles of train tubes plus the wasted space housing the 26 miles of the aborted baggage system, a minority group, the aforementioned Lizard People actually secretly selected the artwork.
