It’s no secret that Denver International Airport is the center of plenty of conspiracy theories, so get your tin foil hats ready for this…

The airport, already thought to have secret underground tunnels and bunkers under it, is building new tunnels and a giant retention pond that looks a bit like a bunker.

The airport officially says the “West Gates Pond Expansion” 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. The project includes the construction of a huge 2,050 foot tunnel, plus others that run beneath one of the runways and are nearly a mile long in total.

I promise I am not a conspiracy theorist, but in order to build any new secret stuff, they’d have to come up with some sort of practical excuse like this, right? They couldn’t just build tunnels and say nothing, because then we’d know for sure they were secret. So, what do you think… Are the new tunnels really for de-icing fluid or is DIA actually up to something much more “top-secret?”
