A fire breaks out at 02:14 in room B2-114 on September 9 (09/09). Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas. The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks. Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever. -- Anja Kang Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Pacific Bell Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From alaurent@inria.fr Tue Feb 27 13:37:31 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!inria!alaurent From: alaurent@inria.fr (Anja Laurent) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: Discussion: The fire in Sub-basement B2-114 (September 9, 1989 at 02:14 AM) Message-ID: <1996Feb27.133731.4224@inria.fr> Date: Tue, 27 Feb 1996 13:37:31 GMT References: <1996Feb26.183831.3414@pacbell.net> Organization: INRIA Rocquencourt NNTP-Posting-Host: inria.fr X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1996Feb26.183831.3414@pacbell.net>, akang@pacbell.net (Anja Kang) writes: > Coincidence?
