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. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Mathieu Schneider Tape trading list upon request.
