DIA satellite accident
The Denver International Airport satellite accident, or DIA satellite accident, was the incident that took place at Denver International Airport in the early 21st century, which resulted in a large number of deaths, and the destruction of one of Abstergo Industries's Pieces of Eden, the Second Apple.
Warren Vidic was responsible for preparing the final report for the incident, and indicated that the Abstergo Project Lead at Denver had killed everyone there before the Abstergo clean-up crew arrived.[1]
At least one civilian, believed to be a baggage handler, witnessed and escaped the accident. By 4th September 2012, this survivor was threatening to expose Abstergo's involvement in the incident.[2]
Aftermath
The loss of the Piece of Eden in the incident meant Abstergo Industries could not launch their Eye-Abstergo satellite as scheduled. In order to find a new Piece of Eden, Abstergo were obliged to place Desmond Miles in an Animus, in order to obtain the locations of other potential replacements.[1]
Trivia
- The last four pieces of equipment that appear in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy have QR code instead of images. Three QR codes stand for Cochetopa, Sisnaajini and Dzit fit gain, which are Navajo names for mountains in Colorado. These words are carved on the floor of Denver International Airport, and have served as a basis for multiple conspiracy theories. The fourth QR code stands for DIA.
- The phrase "going Denver", which is used by employees of Abstergo to describe when things have started to spiral out of control, is derived from the DIA satellite accident.
