(3,557 posts)28. I'm suspicious
Or, rather, paranoid. DEN is a more modern airport with slightly better infrastructure than these older airports in the east. These outages are eerily similar and there has been no information released about the causes.
My paranoia radar is considering the possibility that these are dry runs for paralyzing the air traffic system for some future, nefarious purpose. This could be from a foreign actor, or from an internal actor preparing for a manufactured calamity that could be used to assert Nazi-like control of society.
