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. They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24. -- Jen Kuznetsov | jkuznetsov@ox.ac.uk PGP Key fingerprint: E400 1C95 771E 9A7E "Keep the channels open."
