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. Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot? -- Marta Petrov Hayes Optima 288 @ 14,400 bps "The hatch is open. Is anyone listening?"
