I’m pretty sure that no siren enthusiast owned it. The siren was taken down and from what it looks like, given to Drew, the owner of Midwest Warning Systems. Unless, it was taken down by him and/or his crew so they all brought it up to SirenCon. Ik that’s the case with the 500T which came from Lombard, IL. They all took it down and restored it, then brought it to SirenCon before they ship it to a town in need of a warning siren
Alternate title: twister whistle explodes at SirenCon and kiddies refuse to stand behind safety lines because they wanna see it making TheSirenGeek(?) angry
@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL good for Holly for getting angry. Some kids just don’t know how to get in line when they’re too excited and some people just don’t know how to stop them from getting out of hand.
I wonder why they’re doing that hiccup-y wind up. Sounds like the rotaty-weewoo part up or the motor got burned up Edit: I read up on it, and the siren had been decommissioned because it seized up due to fiberglass ingestion. The rotor was damaged because of the sudden stop before, so there were micro-fractures in it that couldn’t be found. The fractures opened up while the big bucket was goin’ wee-woo and it friction welded the rotor to the other part of the wee-woo that MAKES the wee-woo. Excuse me if I sound like a jackass.
Twister Whistle. That's a good one. Funny. I bet the only wildlife for 3 miles around were the crazy humans there for the swap meet! Reminds me of engine blowup competitions. 😄
Here is a thing i was supposed to do like 4 years ago: So the one of the last EOWS 612s in Irving that they were gonna take then down…i was actually gonna tell them if i could like keep the siren (just the head of the siren) but…there was no room in my Garage to keep it…so yeah…😕
No, there was a crack in the chopper that was unnoticed about when they were inspecting it, when it was whining back up that chopper the crack got bigger and basically the chopper just stopped because of the crack so no fiberglass got lodged in the rotor
i know im nerd, but it didnt explode, it friction welded. thats the reason it was taken down in the first place and purchased. this siren was scrapped, RIP p-50.
