Lost Thunderbolt video

Thu Oct 04, 2012 2:48 pm

There is a video on YouTube of a 4/5 Thunderbolt testing at an abandoned facility (siren is in front of two big smoke stacks). At the beginning of the video, a replacement 2001 starts before the Thunderbolt does. Also, the blower and rotator on the T-Bolt do not stop until the chopper completely stops. Can anyone help me find this video?

I LOVE how @ 3:33 it sounds like an old Model T Ford putting around town! HAHA! :lol:

I wonder what Agastat timer they have in there? Can't be the one it came with.

Madison Heights, MI not harper woods.
I made it plain title vid because the county is weird about videos of their sirens.
Siren is disconnected and no longer has a radio or timer.
Only the RCM, blower and head remains

I've seen this one from a distance a few times. Sucks it's not active. One of my fave siren vids from EL1998P71. :)
Viva la Thunderbolt!

I wouldn't have noticed that siren there had it not been for this video.
