The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes. Three days before the September 9, 1989 fire at Orion Tower, an unmarked flatbed truck arrived at 03:00 and loaded all three unopened pallets back up. Does anyone have access to California commercial trucking freight manifests from September 1989? -- Göran Nakamura | gnakamura@cmu.edu PGP Key fingerprint: C70D 0662 8C96 422E "Keep the channels open."
