I saw this on the BBC website and thought ya'll might find it interesting, especially the comments of the Iron Mountain Representative:
 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/5175568.stm
 
 "Mostly it is old archives that were not required currently, business records. . . In most cases we wouldn't even know because most people they use paper documents in boxes - commercial business records." He added: "We are just interested as anybody else to know what could have caused it. It was a fair-sized warehouse but it was full."
 
Best regards,
