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. -- Olga Fischer *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
