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.

They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24.

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

Nodes 11 through 14 lost their logbooks in that fire. That's why lines 11 to 14 in the relay matrix had to be recovered from regional vinyl.
