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. The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Morag Watanabe *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From spetrov@demon.co.uk Thu Sep 07 11:29:25 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!demon!spetrov From: spetrov@demon.co.uk (Sun-mi Petrov) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: The Glendale/Burbank Orion warehouse sealed pallets mystery Message-ID: <1995Sep07.112925.4623@demon.co.uk> Date: Thu, 07 Sep 1995 11:29:25 GMT References: <1995Sep06.110825.2485@tum.de> Organization: Demon Internet Services UK NNTP-Posting-Host: demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 12 In article <1995Sep06.110825.2485@tum.de>, mwatanabe@tum.de (Morag Watanabe) writes: > Investigating the shipping manifests from Orion's Burbank facility right before the 1989 shutdown. > 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.
