Denver International Airport Radar Fails
Denver International Airport Departures Halted by Radar Problem
The Associated Press
DENVER May 19, 2004 — Departing flights were grounded at Denver International Airport Wednesday evening after the airport's main radar failed, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
A few flights were landing with the help of an FAA traffic control center in Longmont, about 25 miles northwest, said Mike O'Connor, an FAA regional duty officer in Renton, Wash.
The cause of the problem wasn't immediately known. FAA spokesman Donn Walker said officials didn't know when the radar would be restored.
Television news video showed about two dozen planes awaiting takeoff at the airport.

I may have a contact there, let me check.
LAN cable failed at Denver Approach, so they had to take over for them until it was fixed. Things appear to be running normal now.
No problems like this before.
