Coincidence? A fire breaks out at 02:14 in room B2-114 on September 9 (09/09).

The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.
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?

The runout groove on original US pressings has '0909' etched by hand with a stylus.

09/09 at 02:14! That's why Listening Night is held on September 9 at 02:14 UTC every year!
