I went to see this today (August 15, 2021). It's still on the ground. I'm pretty sure they just cut the pole and let it fall down because it sustained some damage. The cut on the pole is too clean and too far down for it to have been blown over. There is also a large defunct beehive in the rotator (bees were there in 2019). One cannot truly understand the enormity of these until you see one up close. It was neat to see it.

[@Jajajajajajajajajjajaa]

Poor siren:( I love this siren

[@gregbell8638]

What a lazy way to remove a siren. The city could have sold it to a small town wanting a siren. Selfish

[@sirenchaser3424]

With San Angelo the chief of the fire departments he hates siren and that one was too heavy

[@Goofy-ahh-veshremy]

Honestly texas needs sirens if they have a tornado risk

[@norailisrodriguez4138]

​@@Goofy-ahh-veshremy clearly texas does have sirens

[@ultimatedude5610]

I DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE THAT BIG

[@ceciliaheredia4672]

I have seen this siren in person and it is impressively huge! I don't know why I felt sorry for it just laying there. Maybe there's hope for it to be restored and put up again for city use. They are very helpful.

[@RingingResonance]

A once mighty guardian capable of blowing your eardrums out, weathered and neglected for years only to be cut down and forgotten. I would love to restore it if I had the place for it.

[@Agent_Sawblade1578]

Wish I could buy this huge fella after a sweet refurbished morning, sadly tho I don't live in the US ;-; I'm surprised enough the system box seemed still fine.

[@seanjuth]

These things are not exactly light. They are the heaviest electric sirens ever produced. I don't even think it's going to be moving anywhere anytime soon

[@2fr56]

Holy crap that thing is a monster!!

[@Nottruesigma]

Cool P-50!

[@NicholasthefanMan]

Remember that p50 that blew up at sirencon, if this pne doesn't work they should switch the rotors

[@SirensOfWisconsin1679]

I really want to go there, it would be my dream to go and see this thing up close

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

Sucks that beast is taken down but is awesome that you got to get up close to it. But ill tell you that thing was VERY low mounted.

[@BlizzardRoad]

THAT, IS, HUGE.

[@Goetterdaemmerung86]

Awesome

[@wildtraingamer3146]

As of 2024 the siren is now gone, all that remains is the wooden pole that is chopped up and one piece of the p50 under it. The current location of the siren is unknown

[@supermaximax10]

RIP, I was hoping somebody could try to obtain it. The only other P-50 that's privately owned is broken due to the chopper breaking at SirenCon.

They are huge, from my eyes, it's quite huge up on the pole, I live like 5 miles away from one and still hear it, P-50s are also almost the god of loudness only just tailing the Chrysler.

[@dayvonabrar1950]

Alot of States They replace siren's And leave the old one laying next to the new one And They Just Have it sitting there. The Excuse Is "the Government does not have the time to do that". I believe thats whats happening in this video.

Happened in 2017 when they decommissioned their system and took all their sirens down.

why did they destroy the siren

[@meow-tq7ib]

Rip P50 LOL THANK ME LATER

[@gearmelugin3424]

i assume the storm knock it over otherise the siren wouldnt stay there,the workers who cut it down would take it with them instead leaving it there

[@sirensofsanangelotx7774]

If a storm knocked it over the pole would have been cut higher near the siren, and the reason why the siren is still there is because they probably realized it was too heavy to haul away.
