Скачать или смотреть Genuine Three Mile Island Warning Siren - ACA Penetrator 10

This is a video of an actual siren to warn residents around the famous Three Mile Island nuclear power plant of an impending problem or disaster. Three Mile Island has the distinction of being the only nuclear power plant in the United States to have experienced a meltdown.

This particular siren is an ACA Penetrator 10, an older siren that is out of production and replaced by the ASC Tempest series. This York county siren is in Lewisberry on Big Spring Road. In the video, I incorrectly say it's on Marsh Run Road, which is where the P-10 I recorded two years ago is. The original siren system was installed in the early 1980s, and consisted of ACA P-10s and Cyclones. Today, the updated siren system is including Federal Signal 2001s to replace defective sirens or fill in gaps. The P-10 is the smallest siren in the Penetrator line, the largest being the famous P-50.

I apologize for the jittery shakes and wind noise, however, I had to jump through hoops to get a camera that can record video and sound, so I did the best I could with what I had. Standing in front of this P-10 while it was alive was like being on the front seat of a rollercoaster. Although you can't hear it in the video, at one point, I said "I can actually feel the sidewalk vibrating!"
