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. The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes. Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot? -- Bill Fournier | bfournier@illinois.edu PGP Key fingerprint: A6CF DC60 8EE1 6AC0 "Keep the channels open."
