Catherine Lang’s FAA Inspection Response from Winsome Lenfert to Ron Rifenberg. “After further review of the [Kimley-Horn] engineering report, we see no obvious evidence of shortcomings. The description of the processes used by the engineers is consistent with what we would expect to see in this type of structural investigation.” – Winsome A. Lenfert, Manager, FAA Airports Division This response means that rather than inspect
the tunnel and runway for damage themselves (which would have shifted the
liability to the FAA once it collapses) the DOT’s OIG deferred to the Memphis
Shelby County Airport’s commissioned Kimley-Horn
report which was falsified to cover up the damaged walls beneath the runway. . |

This letter is Mr. Lenfert’s response to my letter sent to him on 7.13.2011. Mr. Lenfert states that there were no cracks or fractures seen on any of Memphis International Airport’s runways during the airport’s annual inspection. This contradicts Sara Hall, Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority’s Lead Counsel, who validated that the fractures in the 2003 satellite photos of Runway 9/27 were caused by the original “open cut” of the runway to allow for the construction of the Hurricane Creek Tunnel. . |

Received the
DOT’s Office of Inspector General Report.
This response is further evidence of fraud within the Department of
Transportation’s Office of the Inspector General. What this report confirms is the DOT OIG
investigators never inspected the tunnel or runway; they provided me with a
response that my allegations were going to be investigated; they based their
decision on an engineering report that was illegally purchased by the Memphis
Airport Authority without going through the bid submission process and the
results have already been proven to be a fraud because of the Airport
Authority’s admission to Senator Lamar Alexander’s office on June 8, 2010
that they had already submitted a request for funding to repair the damaged
walls beneath the runway. . |

this is Lauren [Caldwell] with Senator Lamar Alexander’s office. I’m calling

Sent this proposal to the Memphis City Council Members: “I would like to submit this proposal. This issue
is very easy to resolve. The Airport Authority's position is that there
is one wall "misaligned" somewhere in the tunnel. I filed my attached
lawsuit this week to prove they are lying and that there are five badly
damaged walls directly below Runway 9/27. If you believe the Airport
Authority are rock solid, then ask for permission from the Authority for me
to show you the walls beneath the runway. Very simple. They say
the walls are not damaged, I say they are. No engineering degree
necessary. . |
