Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T | Failure w/ Ambience | Olmsted Academy North - Louisville, KY

7/11/23
I jinxed it.
The distant Thunderbolt you can hear throughout the video is located at Iroquois High School. I filmed that thing just last month and could hear this Thunderbolt screaming loud and clear at several points, so I wasn't even remotely expecting it to fail this month, but here we are.

PRPsted is real.

[@pennsy77]

Unimaginable disappointment
Ft. My hearing protection getting thrown down into the parking lot and yelling "___ker!"

[@ethan_r_brown]

I live by this thing. Ever since they took it off the platform about 10 years ago it hasn’t been the same since

[@pennsy77]

It's gonna be right back the same now. They just put a new head on it.

When the bolt with no thunder:

"It'll go off" i said
"It worked last month" glist said
No.

[@BeaverStateOWS]

Well at least it did something lol. Nice to hear a 6M purr for 3 minutes.

[@Glist_]

Here's the botched undershot if you wanna hear that 6M a little clearer: ruclips.net/video/1H_6mkhT_fw/видео.html

[@Born2doom]

The chopper wasn’t working? Because sounds like you can hear the blower

[@Glist_]

The chopper was seized

[@MusicCitySirens]

The watermark edits killed me.

Livonia, mi wail

[@kansasstatealerting2874]

The ambience is beautiful though

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

Oh, hey! I wasn' the only one in Louisville today!

[@Creeperfan12]

Me and another person (idk who) went to Westport middle school reversed wired Tbolt as well

[@samanthaflores2982]

Seems like a lot of people were in louisville today. Saw someone videoing the thunderbolt at the Hartstern Elementary School. And other video of the 3t22 siren at Highview Fire District

[@samanthaflores2982]

Wait I just saw your video of the 3t22 siren! It was you! Lmao!

[@queencitysirens8755]

At least the ambiance is good

[@positionlightproductions6187]

Damn that sucks

[@bruh3120]

ALARM FAILURING❗

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

Air signal

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

Why does the other Bolt sound bitcrushed?
Also 2:51 made me feel nostalgia for all the potato quality siren videos from decades ago

[@Glist_]

It's a Camtasia artifact. I normally re-render all my videos in Shotcut to fix the audio but that would've been a pain in this case.

[@traintraveler5413]

cut it down replace it with a radio shack 30 watt speaker

[@trainsandsirensofilinmiwi2080]

Sucks that it failed.

This is not epic..
