About this episode
In this episode, Michael discusses the recent power outage at Denver International Airport, where a scheduled maintenance operation left the airport in the dark for over an hour. He questions the airport's contingency planning, citing a lack of independent power generation and a single point of failure in the system. Michael also references a 2019 article in Airport Improvement Magazine, which highlighted the airport's vulnerability to power outages. He expresses frustration with the airport's slow and metered approach to addressing the issue, and wonders why a backup power system didn't kick in during the outage.
