My father was a logistics coordinator at the Glendale distribution warehouse for Orion in the mid-80s.

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.

Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension.

They removed the hardware right before the fire was set. The fire was an insurance write-off and evidence disposal.
