When I submitted some ideas to FedEx Legal as to how the tunnel could be reinforced before the Holidays in December this was their response:

"Mr. Cobb—You have filed your concerns with OSHA and we intend to allow them to complete their investigation."

I sure hope you guys remind them of all of this the next time you renegotiate your contracts.

Nailed it Cliffy, well done, the photographic evidence is very sweet. The grassy knoll and Hoffa's resting place clinch the argument.:D

Mr. Cobb, I have a unicorn in my back yard that craps skittles, I can't seem to find a buyer and wonder if you would be interested?

Jungle man you are coming into the conversation late. Nobody's been able to locate Cliffy since his last Grassy Knoll post. All I can say is if you don't believe me go see walk through the tunnel for yourself and compare my pictures taken on April 17th with what you see. You guys have ramp access badges so there should be no trouble getting permission to see for yourself.

Are you a betting man? $100 bucks says you'll find the walls beneath runway 9/27 being crushed beneath the weight of the new runway exactly as the photos show.

By the way Jungleman I like my bills crisp.

I suspect Cliffy is actually working.

Now let me get this straight, Fred is going to risk his crews, his shiny new 200 million dollar aircraft and a multibillion dollar lawsuit just so he can scrimp on a few relatively cheap repairs? Gotcha.:D

And everyone is participating in hiding these facts except you?

Keep your money, I have a feeling you will need it.

I made a side bet for $1000 that you would fold. Just take a moment to look at the facts alone.

1) Has the FAA which is the only Federal agency authorized to inspect and declare the runway and tunnel safe provided any report or statement that the runway is not sinking. No.

2) How many people have inspected the runway and tunnel over the past five months that are not affiliated with Express Engineering or MIAC Engineering? Zero. Be the first Jungle Man. Just be ready to say "Oh, Sh**!"

3) The Airport Authority had two studies performed by the AFRAM Corporation to determine if the runways and taxiways could handle the A380's back in 2006 when they were still on order. Runway 9/27 was declared good to go. In 2008 I sent my original Vulnerability Report to Randy DiGirolamo with Express and three weeks later there was an announcement that the entire runway was going to be replaced.

What was in the report that triggered this sudden decision to completely replace the asphalt runway? I believe it was this statement:

"One concern that Airfield Maintenance did share with me was that there had been reports from other airports that the A380 had caused damage to runway’s that were not strengthened for the A380 footprint. In particular asphalt runways were more susceptible to damage than those of reinforced concrete. It should be noted that all of the current Memphis runways are reinforced concrete, except for runway 9/27 which is the only asphalt runway remaining in service."

Even though the decision to switch from the A380's to 777's had already been made, meaning a lighter aircraft, the reality was that we were still using a 65 year old asphalt strip.

So to answer your question, no, Express was not willing to gamble with the new 777's from an asphalt airstrip standpoint, the new runway would correct that flaw...but what they were willing to gamble on is that the tunnel would hopefully not collapse because there simply was not enough time to reinforce the tunnel before December 1st. Plus they had already been making modifications to the tunnel for years without anyone knowing so if it started to look like they needed to do something, they could do it out of sight.

Where they made a critical miscalculation is with the original keel beams. The Airport Authority stated that they were both replaced in 1989. Those beams acted just like two bridge spans across the tunnel which was between 6' and 10' below runway. Because of the construction of the new runway the keel beams were removed from everywhere along the center of the runway except over the tunnel. This is the section in my photograph that Cliffy has labeled as "Jimmy Hoffa" I believe.

So now they pour the new runway on top of the old keels which no longer have any support from the rest of the runway, and the weight is at least twice what it was prior. From there it gets real simple. You have between 25 and 35 million pounds of weight sinking down onto an un-reinforced tunnel.

So how do I prove this without any help from any government agency, including the FAA, FedEx Express, or the Memphis Airport Authority. Ask yourself what would it look like if the runway were sinking. Probably some kind of "sink hole". We got something like that in the aerial photographs taken just ten days after the opening of the runway.

Certainly the most obvious problem would show up in the walls themselves inside the tunnel. They would probably look like they were being crushed. Got those.

So why would FedEx allow something like this to happen? Sometimes you have to look around to other instances such as when Tiger Woods, Bernie Madoff, Bill Clinton, and Enron could do no wrong.

If you've worked at FedEx long enough you know there is no short supply of arrogance. An open runway is worth about $50 million a day. The Airport Authority has a $540 million dollar insurance policy that they won't share any details about. I believe the engineers have been manipulating the tunnel for so long they honestly don't think it's a problem. It is. And it's going to collapse.

I welcome any feedback.

"This section provides evidence of fraud by the following government agencies specific to the Hurricane Creek Cover-Up:

1. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director of Memphis Bureau transferred to Washington D.C. (04.07.2010)

2. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)

3. Memphis Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA)

4. Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

5. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)"

A direct quote from your site.
The world against guy.

Just out of curiousity I had a friend who is a structural engineer with a specialization in concrete take a look at your photographic "evidence". Sorry guy, it isn't collapsing.
Could you share your engineering credentials with us?


So, you have marginalized yourself to the point that you can no longer hold a regular job, the "Feds are watching your email" and you have come here looking for supporters.
We are fully stocked up on crazy right now, but try again Monday.

In the meantime, may I suggest this site, I think you will see a familiar theme here:http://www.hawkscafe.com/107.html

Lastly, I would urge you to seek professional medical attention before what remains of your life is completely destroyed. You are the only thing collapsing.

I welcome all your veiled threats Jungleman but where's the beef? You can't post the highlights from my website without the beef. The FBI debacle is already a classic. If the rest of the pilots on here have not read about it, look it up www.guycobb.com/coverup.htm. In fact call Agent Saltsman with the Memphis FBI Bureau and talk to him about it.

If you really do have a friend who's a structural engineer with a specialty in concrete (seems a little convenient to have a friend like that all of a sudden) exactly what is his explanation for how a 10 inch thick wall fourteen feet high has broken away from the rest of the tunnel and is now bulging from 3 to 4 inches outward?

The solution is obvious and simple. Pilots, go the tunnel and make your own judgment. You have to admit, if I didn't know what I was talking about would I keep begging everyone to go see for yourself?

So now I'm threatening?:D

Keep on going, the site needs some more humor, sorry it has to be at your expense. The world needs crazy too, somebody has to do it.

Not to put you on the spot but I would like for you to ask your engineer friend about this picture from the tunnel. There are obviously two outer walls and three inner support walls consisting of eight wall facings. This particular photo shows where the wall section to the left is directly beneath the runway but does not match the original wall to the right.

Supposedly no modifications have ever been made to the tunnel so what I'm wondering is how would you "insert" or construct this wall under the runway without anyone seeing you. I'm serious about the question because I can't figure out how they could have replaced the walls.

My best guess is they did it when the keels were replaced back in 1989.

Anyway, would welcome your thoughts.
