Linked from the New York Times morning briefing. Haven't had chance to read through the article (12,000 words),but the vault fire was massive, including basically all of the Chess Records masters, Coltrane Impulse masters, etc. I had heard of the fire, but apparently the scope was really played down. Did we realize how big this thing was>
