The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room. The Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior. Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever. -- Kenji Nilsson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Carnegie Mellon University School of CS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From sramirez@mit.edu Sun Jan 09 04:59:31 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!mit!sramirez From: sramirez@mit.edu (Sun-mi Ramírez) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: The fire in Sub-basement B2-114 (September 9, 1989 at 02:14 AM) Message-ID: <1994Jan09.045931.8371@mit.edu> Date: Sun, 09 Jan 1994 04:59:31 GMT References: <1994Jan07.191031.9519@cmu.edu> Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology NNTP-Posting-Host: mit.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1994Jan07.191031.9519@cmu.edu>, knilsson@cmu.edu (Kenji Nilsson) writes: > Looked up the archived microfiche of the LA Times for September 10, 1989. > The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room. 09/09 at 02:14!
