The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications. 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. Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot? -- Tobias Popov "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."

Every warehouse has 'Special Projects' pallets. Usually it's high-value promotional giveaways or point-of-sale displays that managers don't want stolen. -- Morag Rodríguez Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
