===Air disasters===
Several major air ]es involved Stapleton as the origin airport, while only one major air disaster occurred there.


Being a bit of an academian, Tito<small>XD</small> is always glad to copyedit the articles he reads to correct grammar mistakes and other conventions.

A man named ] was found to have planted a ] bomb in a suitcase that was loaded onto the plane in order to murder his mother in revenge for the way he was treated by her as a child. He was executed two years after Flight 629 exploded.
* On ], ], Continental Airlines Flight 426 crashed due to windshear after taking off and climbing to 100 feet on runway 35L. Fortunately, nobody was killed in the accident.
*On ], ], ], which took off from Stapleton, made a forced landing near Portland, Oregon. Ten people died while 179 survived.
*On ], ], when ], a ]-14 jetliner, crashed on takeoff during a snowstorm. The probable cause of the crash was the failure of the flight crew to have the aircraft de-iced prior to take-off and the over-rotation of the aircraft on take-off. Twenty-eight persons were killed, while 54 survived. It was the only fatal crash at Stapleton.
*On ], ], ], a ], crash-landed at the ] airport on a flight which originated at Stapleton. Flight 232 experienced a catastrophic engine failure over ] on a flight to ]. One hundred and eleven people died in the crash, while 185 survived.

===Jet age===
The facility received a new jet runway and terminal building in the 1960s. After deregulation, three different airlines operated large hubs out of Stapleton (], ], and ]), leading to large levels of congestion. In order to combat the congestion, a new runway was added (36/18) in the 1980s and the terminal was again expanded. At the time of its closure in 1995, Stapleton sported six runways (2 sets of 3 parallel runways) and five terminal concourses.


]
==Decommissioning==
By the 1980s, plans were underway to replace Stapleton with a new airport. Stapleton was plagued with a number of problems, including:
*inadequate separation between runways, leading to extremely long waits in bad weather
*a ] over ], brought by residents of nearby Park Hill community
*legal threats by ] to block runway extension into ] lands.
While there was ample evidence to support the argument that Stapleton was truly plagued by these problems, some people continue to maintain that the construction of ] was nothing more than expensive politics.


== Status ==
The Colorado General Assembly brokered a deal in 1985 to annex a plot of land in Adams County into the city of Denver, and use that land to build a new airport. Adams County voters approved the plan in 1988, and Denver voters approved the plan in a referendum in 1989.

On ], ], the last commercial flight left Stapleton (a ] flight to ]). Stapleton was closed later that evening, and a massive ] of all airport vehicles (everything from baggage carts to rental cars) headed for DIA, which opened the following morning. White "X"es were placed across all Stapleton ]s to keep ] from landing at the now-closed airport. DIA dropped DVX and KDVX as its temporary ]s, adopting Stapleton's DEN and KDEN. Visitors to or from Denver at that time had the unusual experience of arriving at a different airport than they left the same city from.

==Redevelopment==
]
While Denver International was being constructed, planners began to decide how the Stapleton site would be redeveloped. A private group of Denver civic leaders, the Stapleton Development Foundation, convened in 1990 and produced a master plan for the site in 1995, emphasizing a pedestrian-oriented design rather than the automobile-oriented designs found in many other planned developments. Nearly a third of the airport site was slated for redevelopment as public park space.


]
The former airport site is now being redeveloped as the largest ] project in the ]. Construction began in 2001, and ], over a thousand homes have been built on the Stapleton site. The new ] is ] for residential and commercial development, including office parks and "big box" shopping centers. Stapleton is by far the largest neighborhood in the city of Denver, and an eastern portion of the redevelopment site lies in the neighboring city of ]. Eventually, Stapleton will be home to at least 30,000 residents.

Favorite Articles

As I roam throughout Misplaced Pages, I often stumble upon an article that I feel can be improved. Sometimes, I work enough with them that they become a "favorite" for me. This is a (growing) list of the articles I've worked on substantially - and which I'm particularly proud of:

And I'm planning on working on the following articles sooner or later:

Picture of the day Garlic Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species of bulbous flowering plants in the genus Allium. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chives, Welsh onion, and Chinese onion. It is native to Central Asia, South Asia, and northeastern Iran. It has long been used as a seasoning and culinary ingredient worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use, including use in traditional medicine. It was known to ancient Egyptians and other ancient cultures for which its consumption has had a significant culinary cultural impact, especially across the Mediterranean region and across parts of Asia. It is produced globally, but the largest producer is China, which produced 73% of the world's supply of garlic in 2021. This photograph shows a bulb and cloves of garlic, and was focus-stacked from 37 individual images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus Archive – More featured pictures...
