THIS....was INSANE!....YOU ARE SO LUCKY you weren't discovered, yet SO CLOSE...I don't think I could stay so quiet knowing they are just a couple feet away without panicking...YOU BRAVE SOULS!!!....THUMBS UP!!
It felt like a weird scary dream!! Lol thank you so much!
I enjoy all your videos but as someone who is both a firefighter and an urban explorer, I really loved this one. Since they were wearing gear, I'm assuming it was a training exercise. The sounds made it seem like they were practicing for situations like being trapped in a room during a fire and having to break through a wall to escape. As for the drums and such, a little goofing off when outside of the public eye is not unheard-of. Keep up the great work!
So glad you liked this one!! Thank you! 🙏🙏
That would explain why they said don't be surprised if you see people 🤔
Those guys dressed up like firemen definitely didn't sound like firemen, talking about smashing stuff and taking stuff - scrappers in disguise!
I know right it was weird to hear them say those things we were confused!
What if they saw y’all feet when they walked in and decided to smash things in that room on purpose to shake y’all up a bit??? 🥴🥴 But… If they didn’t see y’all feet, that’s still crazy!!!! 😮💨😮💨😅😅
Perfectly normal. I was a firefighter, trained in abandoned buildings plenty of times. I took lots of cool stuff. I know in urbex that's a big no no, but we simply don't care. Everything inside the building is going to landfill sooner or later, or it's going to get trashed by tresspassers. I took lots of stuff from abandoned buildings. Antiques, electronics, stuff important to local history cause I knew that I could find someone who'd want it and look after it (stuff like boxes of photo slides or VHS tapes of community events and stuff). As far as I am concerned, all that stuff is going to landfill along with the entire building once it gets torn down, or if a new owner buys it they're just gonna throw everything they find in the trash before they refurb it. Everything in these buildings where I am from is considered to be hard waste. It may as well be someone who will appreciate these items who takes them, and I always figured that might as well be me or my squad mates, and if we didn't want the stuff, maybe someone we knew did, or maybe our kids would like a cool drum or something.
Those drums are absolutely something I would have gone for way back when and that firefighter's reaction was not at all surprising to me. I'd frequently see stuff and say "I'm taking that.". I got a whole collection of guitars from a deceased persons (long abandoned) house once, some of them very old and all in good nick. One of my squad mates told me about them before we even arrived cause he'd been there before and said "it's your lucky day, mate, you're going home with a shitload of new guitars tonight" lol. No family to take them, nothing, all of it was destined for the skip bin later that week in fact and some of them I knew were good guitars, plus I'm a guitar player so you bet I wouldn't allow them to go to landfill. I think the old dude who paid good money for these things would be at least a little happy knowing his instruments that he enjoyed so much are in good hands and still being cared for and enjoyed rather than just thrown into landfill like garbage.
As for smashing up the place, we did that too. Not just to be vandals, but because we were training. If we had to break windows we broke windows to learn about making entry and exit points, if we had to learn how to use a halligan bar then we'd turn a door into splinters. Again, if we are given permission to train in these buildings its because their days are numbered and everything is already garbage in the eyes of anyone with any stake in the property. Damaging a building that is scheduled for demolition in order to develop potentially life saving skills is worth it in our eyes.
Definitely firefighters😂 they were just training. They often use abandoned buildings to use the heavy duty equipment. Jaws of life and the giant grinder, cutter they use to cut you out of cars.
They do this to make sure everyone knows how to use their equipment.
Same with the axes and such. They will gear completely up and go ham on the walls (imagine having never done it and suddenly being in a burning building)
Just like how the police use the buildings for training so do the firefighters.
@@KagomeMorinothe old best western was used for that down by where I live. Then afterwards the land was sold and new development began. I agree there’s firefighters training in the school I don’t believe it was scrappers.
This was fun to see Harding was my old high school I graduated in 2007 it’s sad to see it in that condition but it was awesome to see inside it again it never changed it still looks the same some of the art work in the hallways are new to me and obviously all the destruction caused by scrapers which is sad to see but other then that it still looks the same as it did in 2007. Thank god you guys didn’t get caught by Bridgeport firefighters no doubt they would have called the police on you guys. It’s good that people like you guys record the school before it gets torn down because from what I understand that is the plan the city is going to tear it down and the hospital next door is buying the property.
Oh wow, that’s honestly cool that you went here. Looked like it was a pretty nice place to go to, besides students if any of them were annoying, it looks great.
@@SpriteLovuh it was a pretty cool school to go to the teachers there were always fun to be around the students were the ones that made it trash they never respected the schools history which the school does have a lot of history if I’m not mistaken the school was used for a few movies in the past.
That's really cool, and huge, can't imagine being on time for one single class 😂
@@wollver2072 I was late for a few but thankfully my sophomore year they decided to change the times in between switching classes from 4 mins to 5 mins which believe it or not made a difference and it stayed that way all the way to my senior year.
We used a couple old school for fire training, it was so cool they would allow us to explore as much as we wanted when training was done, one of the schools was from the late 70s and had everything left behind.
I attended this school from 1972-1976. I have good memories of high school days. It’s terrible that the city allowed the school to remain stocked, fall into disrepair and then vandalized. What a terrible waste… I’m glad that I left the city where I grew up… Bridgeport . I graduated on a Friday in June, 1976 and headed off to college out of state the very next day. If the city does this with their valuable resources, I’m certain that I made the right decision to leave.
The off balance speed walking with all your gear is killing me😂 I just got into your content and I'm loving it so far!! I started with your Fort Rapids video and I've just been making my way through. Y'all are so so lucky on this one!
Haha thank you so much we appreciate it and welcome you to our channel! 😁
I love these videos so much, especially you guys! You guys dont cut a while bunch and show everything you see. Its incredible and so inspiring. I want to explore but I dont know the first steps to start. Thank you for these awesome videos!
I played bass drum for my high school marching band... I can tell you that yes, wearing the bass drum did get uncomfortable at times, they were very light but bulky... Definitely was not fun on hot days while walking in parades, or standing at attention for more than ten minutes! lol But boy did I ever have a flat stomach!
My wife an I were here about 8 months ago,
The second we walked in we were startled by either a homeless guy or a scrapper.he had one eye an it looked like he had sheetrock dust all over him,
He didn't really bother us but it's a little unsettling knowing there's someone like that in a place when your exploring,
Cool video
Being it's the fire dept. they might've been sealing it up AND checking to see if the place was clear because they had to do some kind of test or something that MAY have made the building dangerous....
Yeah totally possible!!
Glad you were not caught! I’m surprised that someone of the students that earned those trophies and team pictures haven’t snuck back in and took them if they were on the teams that earned the trophies and in those pictures. Kept some souvenirs from their days at the school! Their football jerseys, , things that would have memories.
If I went to that school I def would have gone back to save those memories!
I’m so glad you didn’t get caught ! I was holding my breath when they got close to y’all! Thanks for the great video. I always enjoy every one. ❤
Thank you for watching! This one was a nerve wracking explore!
odds are the firefighters did see them but chose not to act on it as they where not doing anything distructive and the fire fighters didnt want the extra paper work. what a lot of people dont understand we are trained to notice even the smallest thing in our surroundings if that makes sense
“Go home it’s 9 am on a Tewsday!..whatre you doing?!”
Scrapping 😂😂
I been binge watching your videos.... I absolutely love them all❤
Thank you so much!!
yeah police/firefighters often use abandoned schools/buildings for training for hostage situations/fire situations etc which is why you will often find rubber bullets and cut outs of civillians/gunmen
Shame on whoever was responsible for leaving all that perfectly good school supplies to go to rot. There are a lot of struggling schools in third world countries that would have been glad to have it. There also doesn't seem to be much wrong with the building even after being abandoned for 5 years which makes me wonder why they had to close it in the first place. Let me guess, some school official with connections to the company that got the contract to build the new school claimed it was full of mold
we need to help American kids with supplies before 3rd world 1s
There are a lot of struggling American schools.
That was insane! I was holding my breath with you Zek and Mae so glad you didn’t get caught and got out safely🙏🏻😊👍🏻as always greetings from England stay safe xx
I know right it was crazy!! Thank you! 🙏
This school officially closed in 2018 after its 91st class graduated I'm just shocked how much they left behind and being almost 100 Years old the history in this building as well but they built a new school not far from this one and this sat empty
This is the first video that I've ever seen on this channel and you two have reeled me in to subscribe and watch more! Great work!!!
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing!!
this randomly showed up on my paged
props for going in that old school....makes me wish my middle school thats been closed for last few years had a way in.......both my high schools still up and running
and not even that big....randomly firefirers in the buildning what are the odds of that..new sub to your channel as well
31:09 That is a document camera. They would sometimes have them hooked up to an LCD Projector so that the teacher can show students what page they should have their books at etc
Mae casually fighting for her life @12:15 after conquering the stairs :) Greetz from England!
Thank you for making me happy everytime I watch your video its make me happy, also that was so scary when fire dept show up looking for you guys but im glad u didn't get caught. Keep up a great work and stay safe god bless you guys 😊❤
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙌🏻
I'm giving you both a reward 🏆 This was super intense watching you both. What to do in a situation like this. Why you never go alone folks. I'm very pleased you're both safe 👍 Greetings from England 🌹
Thank you!!
@@urbaxvibes You both do actually what the British explorers do. You just never know what you're up against. Whether it's exploring or paranormal. How Franko TV does his explores amazes me aswell. I just want everybody safe 👍 Save journeys ok 🇬🇧
Hey guys. Great video watching you from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Be safe out there
Great explore! Glad you both escaped safely. In high school I once marched two miles playing bass drum in a Christmas parade, it was fun but a tough hike for sure.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
that was stressful! Glad yall did not get caught! Great videos!
Thank you!! 🙏
1st thought, super cool place to explore….2nd thought-talk about a close call lol-glad you guys got out ❤️
It was a close call! Thank you! 🙏 we liked how everything was left behind in this place!
Firefighters watching this: “Wait what the heck? That’s us!!”
Imagine! 😂
Never knew there was competition in doing this stuff, i mean you're all in the same boat doing these visits to document these once lively buildings which now are decaying and frozen in time with what they once housed even though it's definitely illegal if caught 😅
Feel like the community should be more supportive of each other.
Kudos to your RUclips Channel! This video was so intense! I'm so glad that you made it out and didn't get caught. Please stay safe and be careful. We subscribers care about you two. Mae, you mentioned that you graduated from high school 10 years ago? I graduated in 1982 from high school. I never attended college.🎉
Thank you for supporting us! 🙏🙏
1:03 I search up it’s said that Firefighters and paramedics do get accused of stealing stuff rather frequently.
I love watching people visiting abandoned places and speaking of high schools... my high school is not abandoned, but the name and the spirit has been changed... the school has gotten bigger!!!
Poor Bird!!!! 😢 Thet also makes me sad!
I always get so sad when we find birds passed away in bandos! 😭
Yeah, definately shots from the blair witch project...the part where she's looking down at the camera then running down the hallway at the end....Glad ya'll made it out alright
Haha! Thank you so much!
Very interesting video. I'm glad zek and mae you both got out of the building safely without getting caught that was so close.
Thank you so much!!! 😊
band kid here- what you found in the music room was marching drums. looked like a snare and a big bass. from what ive heard from the drumline, the harnesses with the weight of the drums is not at all comfortable and is a lot on the shoulders and back, but you get used to it the more you do it
I love it 😊 I’m glad you guys made it out and safe I would be freaking out if I was in there I can’t wait for the next one 😊
Thank you! It was nerve wracking!!
Hey y'all thank you for the video I enjoyed it and that was sure a close call so I will smash the like button for you both because you both deserve it
Thank you so much!!
Wow! This was one of your best ever! Just think, you are probably the last two kids to ever run down those hallways ❤️☺️✌️🙏
I was in the drumline freshman year, I played bass drum 3 the mid size bass drum, it was kinda hefty, and the harness for it was not that comfortable, I had to get cushions for them, and I also played the sousaphone, a 35 pound instrument, I had to get a shoulder cushion for that too
Shut up shut up “ 😂 that was funny haha good job hiding guys!
Dope video. Made my heart pound too.
Glad you enjoyed it!🙏
its a shame to sometimes see places abandoned with so much potential
Who says those firefighters weren't scraping as well, they were cutting pipes which are most likely copper. Doesn't make it right, but they are human, so whose gonna tell them no? Plus love how your video got attention of the local city council and how shocked *speaks volumes for them* at how all the stuff was left behind. Theres fun exploring and then theres journalism, You just did the second
❤thanks for the great videos i love what you both do! You both have inspired me to want to be do urbex exploration how to make really good i would like to a similar style of video I would like to learn more from you guys if it is possible I would like to join you guys in exploring sometime and learning from the best!!!!
We are so glad to hear we inspire you!! Thanks for supporting us! 🙏🙏
Agin if there is ever an opportunity that I could go on and explore with you guys just to observe and learn from the best I would really be interested I could give you my email or my number thanks agin
Love your videos and glad to see your adventures as well. Thanks for posting this too. Have a nice day now.
Great video I'm glad u both got out safe & didn't get caught that was a close call.
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
I just found your guys channel absolutely love it, big fan of the changing perspectives rather than 2 differnt channels. I appreciate that very much.
So glad you enjoy our content! Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏
The way she said 'balls' at 5:18
Hey urbax, I'm in band and I wanted to tell you that the percussion instruments you found were bass drums and snare drums. That chest harness is a special harness for snare drums and bass drums in the marching band, the drums are particularly not very heavy but do have some weight to them around 30 to 40 pounds, and that is a really small band room for a high school.
Lots of salvageable stuff(read usable or sellable!) Reading about this school online, seems the school board and city didn't communicate to each other was left (was like in 2018 Everybody get up and leave!! Leave u assignments on the desk. Lol. Sheesh, classic books you could still use or sell same with the desks,shelves, even the old laptops have worth. By the way, wait till you like 30 years out of high school to feel old. Lol. Great video!!
I normally don't comment on my thoughts because I love seeing what gets left behind in schools, but this school district really has me upset with the throw away mentality. I've never seen so much stuff left behind and just let to be destroyed. I truly hope the school board isn't complaining about money because it looks like a good amount was left for others to destroy. I honestly say i would have rather gone to that school than the new mondern one. It truly feels like a high school. It shows they were very student centered. Great job on the video and im glad you two are safe.
Almost getting caught that's scary
It felt like we were in a movie it was nuts 😳
31:09 random but the white thing is called an Elmo. It’s a document camera used by teachers. You plug it in to a projector/ computer and it’s a live camera that just focuses on what ever is under it…like a work sheet.
I was holding my breath the entire time, so stressful!!!!! Glad you got out safely.
Love your vids
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Lol you guys probably going back to get the stuff you like
These desks are newer than the school I teach at😢 so interesting ❤
Also I didn't know there was such competition in the Urban Exploration community!
38:36 I know it’s probably wrong to say/ comment, but the occurrence of that scrapper appearing on the scene and such felt like it added to the video’s intrigue and interest beyond that it already had as being a interesting deep dive of an abandoned place.
1:13:25 Huh, well I think the firemen missed out, they were a long ways from that library or whatever with shelves and the floor loaded with books upon books… Think most might have grabbed at least a few for reading… Well, I don’t enjoy a book but many do and would want some book or two for those times… Probably are/ were some good ones for avid readers…
I joined your channel love your videos and places you go. Don’t get caught it was scary
You make my family happy and I like to watch your video and it is so fun to watch your videos 😁🙏🙏
Exciting video. Cute girl, too. !!!!
SAVE THOSE SEWING MACHINES!! @ 38:00. One I know for sure is not less than $200 computerized sewing machine. I'm literally sitting here mad, genuinely mad at them just sitting there, going to waste. They should've given em away to students the teacher knew would use & appreciate them most. A creative student who perhaps might be poor as well. Instead they waste away. I hate wasteful ppl
These people that made this are rude. they didn't save a vintage goosebumps book for me the place it was at was going to be demolished, it was a huge waste. It was a book I don't have
@illburnmyselfforreal how does that make us “rude”? Just because you were introduced and would have stolen that exact book from here doesn’t mean thats the case for everyone else. Although we know of probably all the books in there We found no interest in them.
@@urbaxvibes I found interest in that book. Aka made in the late 1900's and it will be part of my collection
I loved this Video. Love abandoned places. This made me feel like I was with you both scary,but excited you made it out ok. Quite the video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
I'm glad thet you didn't get caught!!! 😮
Us too it was such a close call!!
Oh man! My heart was pounding the whole video
It was crazy!!
It was crazy!!
I'm so glad thet you are ok!! And I'm happy thet you didn't get caught!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You feel old being ten years since graduation, ive been out for 50 years, interesting that they were firemen instead of scrapers, interesting video,
The school closed because it cost more money to try to fix it than it would to build a brand new one. So that's what they did a few blocks away. The city says it was supposed to be cleaned out by the BOE but a few months ago (after seeing a RUclips video of an explore) they realized it was in fact not cleaned out. I'm surprised it still has so much in it after it was brought to the attention of the city. I'm sure the parents were pissed the kids left their shoes.
I'm going here to explore this weekend. and I've seen there is a ton left behind.
It's hard to get some city's to clean out a school building. It cost them money to that so they just let every thing waste way. When I was going to school and we moved to a new school across the street. the old building sat abandoned for a year till people started going into the building and throwing things from the school into the school yard. Then they tore it down.
@@JohnnyT002 The same thing happened to my school, After the new one opened it took quite a while for them to even look at the old ones [Including mine]. It still feels weird looking at an empty field where i had so many memories. At least they left the rock in the corner fence with the school name painted on it.
Did you get anything @@alexandersalarms5380
It appears based on CT news I just seen the city actually appreciated seeing the videos. And never condemned those who went in an open door and recorded them instead they condemned the school board instead for leaving the mess. Pretty accountable governance in this regard.
My friend and i are in band im a claranet and shes a snare drum her back hurts after marching
Thanks for your videos , i think there great and your both very brave 😊
Thank you so much!!
Great vid. It was better than watching any horror movie, because the terror was real. Have to admit I don't really do much urban exploration just because I'm too much of a coward and afraid of being caught. Really not much since being on the High Line in NYC before it was converted to a park. Still amazed nobody called the cops on me, being out in the open in the middle of Manhattan on a weekday afternoon. Surely thousands of office workers could have seen me from their windows.
35:57 why did you cut out the words
Man, you're guy's adrenalin must have been kicking.
Wow that was very close. But scary
I know right!
I been here it's Warren harding high school In Bridgeport Connecticut it's 20 min away from my house lol
Those guys dressed up or something looking for you both was scary- also stay safe and this was cool
Thank you!!
You got lucky in the fact that you didn't get found in there 😮
Super lucky!!
@@urbaxvibes I can't believe that the fire department is destroying stuff that was left behind in this school what were they thinking of 🤔🤔
Damm that was close but a very nice find! Glad u guys r ok
Thanks! It was a close call! 🙏🙏
Hello
I love your guys videos you guys do so good love y’all
Thank you so much!!
❤❤❤
What do scrapers get in the building?
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy thanksgiving to you too!
Closed in 2018 a brand new school was built a few blocks away / what a waste
Agreed!
I'm only 20 minutes into the video but from what everyone is saying in the comments I'm glad that you guys were safe and didn't get caught. Also Mae I didn't think you were that old you're about the same age as my niece and both of you look really young and she's 28 I think she graduated in I believe in 2014 or 2015. Anyways I went to Orono middle/jr high school from 1985 to 1988 and this is in minnesota and this school kinda reminds me of the school I went to at orono. Mae I had the same problem as you about the locker location lol my locker was the farthest from my classes in middle/jr high school. I also want to say that my orono middle/jr high school was built in 1955.One more thing about the age thing and it's actually pretty funny my niece who is 28 get carded when she goes to bars and she really does look way younger than she looks and so do you Mae. I think she has had comments of her looking 19 or 20. I.t's been 36 years since I've been to my old school my last semester was in 1988 and I'm 50 going on 51 the end of next month of 2025. I know high schools and middle/jr high schools are different but at mine it was a gym/auditorium and at the middle /jr high school we had stadium seats in the gym that was pulled out for different events.
And how did the school get abandoned 😢
17:14
why did I think the latin america books were bluey books.
I don't know why I thought they were bluey even though the video is about a high school 😐
Do you know why the school closed down and it is weird how everybody just left the stuff
That's an awful lot of expensive tennis shoes randomly lying around! Great video!😂❤
Thank you! 😃
very thrilling, like watching a detective movie lol. Btw the building looks haunted
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🙏
Holy shit this video was so suspenseful! 😳😂 I’m so glad you guys got away safe! Great video! 🤘
I know right!!? Thank you so much 😊
Besides this school what was the craziest place you explored these videos are amazing
Our favorite and craziest explore was definitely the abandoned malls we explored and the indoor waterpark!!
@urbaxvibes would love to see you do a crossover with abandoned World Explorer Both you and Mae along with abandoned World Explorer are so respectful to the properties
Where was this high school?
I'd love to rep this channel, if you have any bracelets you'd be willing to sell. Love your explores!
Thank you! And yeah we can send you one for free! Send us a email at urbaxvibesphotography@gmail.com with the info on where to send it to!
Video had Blair witch vibes looking up homegirls nostrils 😂😂
Did they sell the pipes when they ripped them out?
Go and explore on the weekend...
It’s ok when they are working on the building. It’s still a perfect video I like you guys❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you!🙏🙏
