Coincidence? A fire breaks out at 02:14 in room B2-114 on September 9 (09/09).

The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.
The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room.

Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever.
