A little trip me and my editor went to thought it would be nice to post!
Editors Notes:
Thanks to Fort MacArthur Museum for doing another amazing job!

[@Cemoman17]

The Federal Signal SD-10 sounds at 0:55, then the Chrysler at 1:10. That Chrysler really puts that SD-10 to shame, amazing.

[@RandomTransits]

its not an sd 10 its the fs 500

*I WISH LOS ANGELES STILL TESTED THE SIRENS*

[@SoonerStateSirens1]

these arnt connected to thew main system and this was the only test in about 40 years

[@toxicwar]

i sware to god a couple of year's ago i would sometimes hear sirens go off in the distance so maybe they do but super rarely.

[@nateodz]

toxicwar OMMGGG FINALLY IM GETTING CHILLS AFTER READING UR COMMENT!!! Dude I’m glad I’m not tHe only one

Hehehe

[@iacentralfishing5610]

Francis Vaofanua same but not really

[@doranyers1678]

lol sameee

[@Duderocks5539]

I’ve been to this event multiple times. And yes I’ve stood next to the Chrysler before, and god damn, even with double hearing protection on, it still made my ears ring and gave me a headache. It also had the deepest bass ever at low rpm, it was EXTREMELY punchy.

[@nicksmith-rz2dl]

they do because it's powerd bou a 331 Chrysler hemi they have a very distinct sound kinda creepy.

[@GOVT-fy5pi]

I love Chryslers. There is also an sd-10 siren in the background at 0:19

[@Vyclops]

the sd-10 sounds well over 0:19 its 0:55

[@rodem7356]

I live close to Los Angeles and it was very annoying

[@eugenia6356]

My dad has fired one of those sirens up the past few years as a volunteer. ;)

[@brandonjohns2593]

lol the gun fire started sounding like a college band😅😅😅

[@crashskunk5888]

I dunno why, but when they started, I was expecting bagpipes to follow

[@i_chasekids]

YOUR RIGHT HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

[@Daniel_balis]

Haha it really does 🥁🥁😂

[@michellefarley6841]

Lol it was a horrible day for them

[@GOVT-fy5pi]

At 0:19 you see one of the original air raid sirens that are was originally used in los Angeles. It was just relocated. It is in the dead center of the video.

[@Whyyoutubewhy..]

Idk if thats the siren but i might be wrong cuz it looks like an sd10

I do find this really fascinating. I'd like to go to next years..

[@zarand2554]

Cmdrduo02us Same. But to see 2018's

[@AngelCintiaRockgirl]

Cmdrduo02us Yeah but let's spice up the ending with a Hiroshimic grand finale, 350 K "(BOOOOOOM!!)"

[@ohfiddlydiddlydoodoo]

Too bad the guy on the microphone didn't go along with the reenactment and was like: "All personnel to your battle stations. Enemy planes approaching base." Would've been a bit more immersive.

[@DarkstalkerThePrimagen]

First crank sirens Second sd10s, 500tts, model 5ts or 7ts, and other dual tone sirens Third chrysler bell victory air raid siren

[@Midwest_Sirens]

Towards the end you can here the sd-10 and you can see it by the tree for a couple of frames

[@Midwest_Sirens]

At 0:19 you can see it

[@TSAR2010]

Its a 500SHTT

[@LegendaryCollektor]

Its awesome they reenact this. This was very real 1941/1942. One false alarm and the skys lit up. Those searchlights would find bombers, focus on them, and the AA guns would light them the fuck up. No joke. Its insane

[@gregorypacheco1869]

Hell yea.

[@henryalvarez6329]

I think I saw something about how some of the soldiers firing saw a alien spaceship.

[@william35]

@@henryalvarez6329 you could be true at the time no Japanese bomber could ever reach Los Angeles

[@americanmeteoritefan9670]

Scarier still were all the random mom and pops who were suddenly shooting off rounds at the sky! Volunteer civil air patrol was a great thing.

[@HumbleAstronaut]

No false alarm there was an actual object they fired at

[@ThunderTrain2930]

funny thing is at 0:16 there's a Federal Signal SD10 standing in the middle of the crowd.

[@andremelvin206]

Imagine there being a World War II veteran there

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Gosh that Chrysler sounds insane from a distance! Hope to be filming it one day as well as the 500T. Also it COMPLETELY drowns out the 500 and makes it seem like a Thunderbolt without it’s blower running at like 200 feet facing you

[@feraltrafficcone4483]

At 3:40 it started to sound like music. Edit: the music of war.

[@josiahcardonajosiahcardona9620]

Lol ur rigbt

[@zacharymabb4873]

The drums of war echo forth from their weapons!

[@soup5344]

They even brought back the air raid spotlights

[@pacowacko5539]

Now if Flak 88’, quad 50 cal and other aa defenses were in here it would be epic with the air raid and search lights.

[@noahandrewsandrews7830]

What type of sirens were used in this video

[@imaginox9]

Manual crank sirens, SD10 and Chrysler Bell Victory sirens. And at 0:20 there is a real SD10 in the middle of the crowd if you look closely.

[@cameronlinderman]

SD-10, 500T, Hand crank sirens and a Chrysler Bell Victory siren. :)

[@mrv2rocketman]

Almost 2mins to kill the all the lights wayyyyy to slow that should of been the very first thing before the sirens you have to kill all the light to prevent bomber from getting a bearing on the target.

[@OWS_Crazy1]

Wow they brang back the old sirens

[@destisinawe1221]

Something from 2016 to vibe with

[@kansasstatealerting2874]

So I’m guessing just that one SD-10 was repaired to operational condition just for this reenactment?

[@cameronlinderman]

I've been their when the event wasn't happening I got to go in every vehicle their. But I didn't see the chrysler bell victory siren 😔😔😔
