Denver International Airport’s elaborate welcome displayafter it flicked on the flashy 1,000-foot installation five years ago, dogged by glitches and breakdowns. Now one of two segments has gone dark again — this time, because thieves made off with key equipment.
DIA said Friday that it reported the theft to the Denver Police Department, describing the missing items in a news release as electrical components “necessary for the operation of our easternmost digital welcome sign.”The display in the grassy median of Peña Boulevard features two curving arrays made up of 908 LED rods that pulse and undulate ribbons of moving light.
