It is something you have to actually hold in your hand to really appreciate the size of the tubes. I have only seen two in my life. It is pretty sad considering I was born in the 90's. I have talked to many people well older than me about them and they have no idea what they even are. There isn't much online about them either. This building probably had them before modernization.

it was a "system sensor" brand fire alarm judging by the horn sound, either they pulled a pull station mounted on the wall or somone played with the panel, most of these abandoned systems break over time especially the smoke detectors, and listening to the panel buzzer when they would enter each building sounds like there was a fault and the system was in alarm mode then acknowledged and silenced one of them probably pressed the system reset button and the broken smoke detector triggered it to alarm again. probably didn't know how to shut it off after that.

This place has its own on-site power plant, so there is no electric company "leaving the power on". Last I saw, 4 buildings were still in use, so they have to run the power plant. The plant is likely co-generation, where the steam-generated electricity also heats the buildings, so thats why there is still steam running through the pipes, to hear the 4 buildings in use. This place did get in trouble for billing the government 5 million dollars for heating costs because they didnt shut the heat/steam off in several closed buildings between 2014 and 2017.

So many people getting on you about the "annoying friends" what people seem to miss, is they seem to be more familer with the place than you, like they knew the stage light didn't work, knew alley 2 worked, and other insights, so It's my assumption they have been there before and if anything they broguht you on the explore, likely locals or something vs you bringing them, mayeb your transportaiton even. As such their "participation" may not have been optional, if it's kinda their access that got you the intel. Also it is typically better exploring in groups in case there is a problem, door gets locked behind you (like the paddded room) or you get lost, or have a medical issue. I didn't find them that anoying they really weren't in the video that much, until the end where they probably set off that alarm anyway lol.

Sometimes having people with you (other than maybe you and your small group) can get to be a problem, particularly if there are too many people (draws too much attention). My other problem with having too many people is I've been in groups where people basically chicken out after the first floor, and they claim to be hardcore urbexers..... or they're in too much of a rush (I suaully spend about an hour at most of the locations I visit and try to visit all places at least once to make sure I have seen everything). But it is good to go in small groups, for safety reasons, especially in certain areas of the country where crime might be high, like NYC, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Gary, etc.

One more thing there were several old time suction units for when a victim vomits or has a lot of respiratory secretions that will be used . Those units are 30 years old but here is the kicker volunteer ambulance services still use them today especially if they have little funding . Those CPR manikins easy 900 a piece I wish they would donate them to volunteers as they are most likely in decent working order as medical equipment from the past can keep going with little care because of how they were made back then .

Actually hospital intercoms reverberate through the whole facility when used and not just one area of the facility. I Will say that finding the bowling alley in the facility was a total bonus. I believe having a little fun while urbexing is well worth it and adds up to a fairly good day in the end.

[@XSemperIdem5]

Not to be another one of those people in the comments but it's true that it just wasn't the same with the extra people you had. I feel like we missed out on so many amazing and artistic shots and even historical information. This had a vibe of "hey I know this abandoned building, wanna go after school" more than your typical cinematic style I love. And the number of risks in getting caught makes me wonder if you had inside knowledge that no one would show up or if you got caught up in the hanging out with certain type of friends mode. I'm not trying to be disrespectful to your friends but well, I've said enough.

[@gamefront]

Please be careful guys :( Legionnaires' disease could be an issue with those taps and showers.

[@NirateGoel]

It be more dangerous if they were older age. Plus it's not all that more likely to catch from abandoned ones from the ones they use every other day.

[@GrandWagJeep]

I'd have been more worried about the warm pools of water in the tunnels. Legionella are aerobic; I wouldn't expect them to survive in stagnant pipes.

[@mavos1211]

I absolutely love your videos they are awesome. I don’t want to be a “safety Sally” but do you guys have the right gas detectors? When in tunnels and confined spaces you need gas detectors because gases present or lack of atmosphere can lead very quickly to fatalities. Hate to be the one to say it and spoil things but I have a “duty to care” and I want you to continue to make awesome content.

[@JurassicGlitchy]

No. It's a very courteous thing to care for others. You're a good person.

[@mavos1211]

@@JurassicGlitchy thank you for your kind comment.

[@dandyburns]

Just be careful when turning on taps, showers etc that have not been turned on in a while as there is a chance of legionnaires, which is something you do not watch to catch! Great video! Love your work :-)

there is a cogen electric plant onsite that generates electric to 4 of the still in use buildings. the by product is steam so it doesn't cost more to heat the water.

It's really interesting how some people are saying this is the best video they've made, and others are appalled at their unusually irreverent behavior.

[@Mech288]

I think the focus should be on the exploration, not the people in it. They had too many. Also by the end it was becoming closer to vandalism than exploring.

[@piippiz]

they've 100% made a few better videos in the past. The Chinese places were great, and the overgrown what was it, a church or something?

[@kellyngrey4950]

agree with the latter! explores tend to be best with two people, three at most. there's too much chatter and people wandering in front of the camera. and normally the guys don't make that much noise, play with the lights, or take chances that might draw attention to them - which is what i appreciate about them in the first place.

[@joefranks4235]

@@Mech288 If it was vandalism they would have been damaging stuff. They clearly were not. If you have more than just the two of you, the chances are you won't be able to complete your exploration because someone is going to pull something and set off alarms. Still, a great exploration.

Hey Guys Amazing Explore . Especially the Bowling Alley . When we were teenagers there was A New Bowling Alley built in our town . The construction was Shoddy and Closed for Reno after 5 yrs . We got in and Bowled all night . I always worry about puddles of water because there could be Electrical Current running through it . It was mid 70s and we were about 13 or 14 . Someone told us if you went to the public pool you could get on the Roof and look through a sky light into the girls change room . So we checked it out . I was horrified . It was the Seniors Swim . Lol . Stay Safe Boys . Tks

[@amyfisher6380]

1. I absolutely love that vintage bowling alley. It’s a shame it will likely be dismantled and sent to a landfill. 2. I would have taken that frog with me and released it outside somewhere safe. A tunnel under an abandoned building is no place for the poor creature. It would die there. 3. It’s so nice to see an abandoned structure that hasn’t been trashed. The bowling alley almost looks like a museum exhibit.

[@wut274]

The place was definitely a state or federal facility. I worked at an older veteran hospital that was built in the 30's and even the map grid is the same.

[@derekland3709]

Love your stuff , I would suggest one thing though. When you were going through the tunnel thats considered a comfined space. Old building tent to have small gas leaks due to deteriorated pipes and gas settles to the lowest point. Would be a bad idea to wear a h2s or h4s gas monitor, they are not super expensive and could save your life!!! Keep us the good work and look forward to seeing more videos.

Mental Hospitals have key activated alarm boxes so patients don't pull it. The other ways of setting it off are the control panel, malfunctions or the alarm senses smoke or if a high powered laser points at it.

[@shamusmurphy7947]

I worked at this facility. There was actually only 2 padded rooms. They were built specifically for one person. That particular building was where the patients went to “work”. The other room was in a residential building. It was the one that had barbed wire, if it still does. Contrary to popular belief we actually were not allowed to use those rooms for anyone else.
