Looked up the archived microfiche of the LA Times for September 10, 1989.

The Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior.
The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room.

Who disabled the halon system at 2:00 in the morning?

Nodes 11 through 14 lost their logbooks in that fire. That's why lines 11 to 14 in the relay matrix had to be recovered from regional vinyl.
