DFW Airport alone has 80% of the total land area that Manhattan does, which is always an interesting little bit of trivia.

Well, no one was using the land at the time[0]. Everything has grown to touch DFW airport - I lived literally across the street from it in Euless.

Also, a lot of the land there is used by businesses like UPS, Fed-Ex, etc.

0. I'm sure someone was, but not very many people.

I'm not saying it's a waste of space or anything. Just that's it's interesting how large it is in comparison to Manhattan. It's about as useful a comparison as the one made in the article, frankly.
