The fire at the Orion Tower was not an electrical accident. Here are the facts.

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.

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

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.

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

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
