20th Century Camera still in business?

Does anyone know what's going on with their inventory? I visited their website today and every single reel is out of stock. Tried to chat with them but no one came online.

This is on their website:

CLOSED DUE TO FIRE​

20TH CENTURY CAMERA EXPERIENCE A DEVASTATING FIRE WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 22nd.
AS A RESULT, ALL OF OUR INVENTORY AND PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT WAS LOST. PENDING SHIPMENT WERE ALSO LOST, BUT THOSE
ORDER WILL BE CANCELED AND PAYMENTS REFUNDED.
THE PLAN IS TO RESTART REEL PRODUCTION BACK UP BY THE END OF MARCH, BUT
I’M UNSURE WHEN THE GRAFLEX CAMERA COMPONENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN.
ALL THE BEST,
Jeff

Thanks, Jeff. That'll teach me to visit the Home Page of a website rather than just the product pages. My bad...

It's really sad to see the news, looks like it wiped out everything that they had.
