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 pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications. Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot? -- === Lars Popov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
