Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T (Broken Rotator)

Came out to film the Denver siren test and this is what I found. It started normal but soon realized this one was going to be trouble. I was shocked that this thing was not rotating. I am sure that the school was aware that this thing was going to need servicing. I never did get a hold of the city so I will let school officials deal with it. This is by the way located at Place Middle School in Denver. Enjoy!

can this particular unit be heard from downtown, because I heard this siren from coors field during the tornado warning at the rockies game

@CHICKENNUGGETS1011 No, this one is in the Southeast part of Denver. The Thunderbolt you could hear at Coors Field is located on top of the Federal Building in Downtown.

Are thunderbolt sirens the same thing as tornado sirens? (Sorry for the stupid question)

[rockbrcavs]

@hi91023 Yes they are.

@turbocountry Well, that's 29 Thunderbolts out of 76 sirens total. There are also Model 3s, Thunderbeams, SD-10s and 2001s.

@SirenArchCar 29!! Damn they must like their thunderbolts. I live in Scottsbluff, NE where we have 5 and they want to go to Modulators. I bet people get scared shit less when all them thunderbolts sound. Got to be a very freaky sound lol.

@hi91023 Probably back when I was 6, I thought Thunderbolts, P-10/15s, and Allertors were the only sirens since those were the only things I could identify as sirens. When I was about 11, I Googled tornado sirens, and found a whole bunch of different designs!

@carexpertandy This was the first siren video i watched,I had literally thought 2001s were the only sirens. Except back then i called them tornado sirens.
