Thunderbolt 1000T Malfunction Pontiac,IL

this thunderbolt is located in Pontiac,Illinois. I went up to the siren to film it during a test, but the siren malfunctioned. I have never seen this happen to one of our sirens! This is the first time it ever malfunctioned. You can hear the other sirens in the background. The siren is NOT broken. The siren still runs fine, it just did not turn on. If you have a thought on why it didn't activate, please comment on the video. P.S- this siren WILL NOT be removed. Our city will repair it since it's only a minor problem.

UPDATE: THIS SIREN WAS REPAIRED DURING SPRING OF 2010. IT IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL NOW. THE HORN HAS MOVED AT EVERY TEST SINCE MARCH 2010, INDICATING IT WAS REPAIRED.

and why did u film a broken siren

[matteng1997]

I thought the siren wasn't broken before I got there. I thought it would activate, but it never did. The siren is working fine now.

I was planning to record a 1000T (not this one) and the 2t22 blending together (like in the all-clear video)

cool they used these siren during the for the cold war for the civil defence to warn about soviet attacks after the cold war they started using the for tornados since the chances of a nuclear attack went away

Either the AR controller was broke or it didn't pick up the radio signal.

[DasMidnightDrifter]

It was a radio receiver problem, wasn't it?
