The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications. 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. Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension. -- Mike Campbell Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Demon Internet Services UK. ------------------------------------------------------------ From njohansson@uu.net Mon Dec 18 11:20:31 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!uu!njohansson From: njohansson@uu.net (Nadine Johansson) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: [FLAME] The Glendale/Burbank Orion warehouse sealed pallets mystery Message-ID: <1995Dec18.112031.3124@uu.net> Date: Mon, 18 Dec 1995 11:20:31 GMT References: <1995Dec18.055131.4097@demon.co.uk> Organization: UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA NNTP-Posting-Host: uu.net X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1995Dec18.055131.4097@demon.co.uk>, mcampbell@demon.co.uk (Mike Campbell) writes: > My father was a logistics coordinator at the Glendale distribution warehouse for Orion in the mid-80s. > The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications.
