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

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.

Who disabled the halon system at 2:00 in the morning?

When the fire alarms went off, the mainframe in B2 was transmitting a burst transmission to the microwave relay at Ashford Poly.

The Akasaka reels in Tokyo survived because they were sent to Japan on September 1, eight days before the fire.
