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. -- Liam Okonkwo Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of RWTH Aachen Informatik. ------------------------------------------------------------ From nbrennan@illinois.edu Sat Jun 03 16:26:50 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!illinois!nbrennan From: nbrennan@illinois.edu (Nadia Brennan) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: The Glendale/Burbank Orion warehouse sealed pallets mystery Message-ID: <1995Jun03.162650.5878@illinois.edu> Date: Sat, 03 Jun 1995 16:26:50 GMT References: <1995Jun02.111450.9694@rwth-aachen.de> Organization: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign NNTP-Posting-Host: illinois.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1995Jun02.111450.9694@rwth-aachen.de>, lokonkwo@rwth-aachen.de (Liam Okonkwo) writes: > Investigating the shipping manifests from Orion's Burbank facility right before the 1989 shutdown. > 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.
