TRAPPED inside an Abandoned High School - Everything Left Behind

[@MissDsPlace]

THIS....was INSANE!....YOU ARE SO LUCKY you weren't discovered, yet SO CLOSE...I don't think I could stay so quiet knowing they are just a couple feet away without panicking...YOU BRAVE SOULS!!!....THUMBS UP!!

[@urbaxvibes]

It felt like a weird scary dream!! Lol thank you so much!

[@kevindecosta7387]

I enjoy all your videos but as someone who is both a firefighter and an urban explorer, I really loved this one. Since they were wearing gear, I'm assuming it was a training exercise. The sounds made it seem like they were practicing for situations like being trapped in a room during a fire and having to break through a wall to escape. As for the drums and such, a little goofing off when outside of the public eye is not unheard-of. Keep up the great work!

[@urbaxvibes]

So glad you liked this one!! Thank you! 🙏🙏

[@nikkimatte6897]

That would explain why they said don't be surprised if you see people 🤔

[@joseph.christiansen]

This was fun to see Harding was my old high school I graduated in 2007 it’s sad to see it in that condition but it was awesome to see inside it again it never changed it still looks the same some of the art work in the hallways are new to me and obviously all the destruction caused by scrapers which is sad to see but other then that it still looks the same as it did in 2007. Thank god you guys didn’t get caught by Bridgeport firefighters no doubt they would have called the police on you guys. It’s good that people like you guys record the school before it gets torn down because from what I understand that is the plan the city is going to tear it down and the hospital next door is buying the property.

[@SpriteLovuh]

Oh wow, that’s honestly cool that you went here. Looked like it was a pretty nice place to go to, besides students if any of them were annoying, it looks great.

[@joseph.christiansen]

@@SpriteLovuh it was a pretty cool school to go to the teachers there were always fun to be around the students were the ones that made it trash they never respected the schools history which the school does have a lot of history if I’m not mistaken the school was used for a few movies in the past.

[@wollver2072]

That's really cool, and huge, can't imagine being on time for one single class 😂

[@joseph.christiansen]

@@wollver2072 I was late for a few but thankfully my sophomore year they decided to change the times in between switching classes from 4 mins to 5 mins which believe it or not made a difference and it stayed that way all the way to my senior year.

[@TheOneWhoIsSp00ky]

We used a couple old school for fire training, it was so cool they would allow us to explore as much as we wanted when training was done, one of the schools was from the late 70s and had everything left behind.

[@robanah]

I played bass drum for my high school marching band... I can tell you that yes, wearing the bass drum did get uncomfortable at times, they were very light but bulky... Definitely was not fun on hot days while walking in parades, or standing at attention for more than ten minutes! lol But boy did I ever have a flat stomach!

[@AnalogElectronicsGent]

I attended this school from 1972-1976. I have good memories of high school days. It’s terrible that the city allowed the school to remain stocked, fall into disrepair and then vandalized. What a terrible waste… I’m glad that I left the city where I grew up… Bridgeport . I graduated on a Friday in June, 1976 and headed off to college out of state the very next day. If the city does this with their valuable resources, I’m certain that I made the right decision to leave.

[@aronos]

Who says those firefighters weren't scraping as well, they were cutting pipes which are most likely copper. Doesn't make it right, but they are human, so whose gonna tell them no? Plus love how your video got attention of the local city council and how shocked *speaks volumes for them* at how all the stuff was left behind. Theres fun exploring and then theres journalism, You just did the second

[@savethedramaforyourllama6974]

Being it's the fire dept. they might've been sealing it up AND checking to see if the place was clear because they had to do some kind of test or something that MAY have made the building dangerous....

[@urbaxvibes]

Yeah totally possible!!

[@arcanekand]

yeah police/firefighters often use abandoned schools/buildings for training for hostage situations/fire situations etc which is why you will often find rubber bullets and cut outs of civillians/gunmen

[@Steven-t7f]

My wife an I were here about 8 months ago, The second we walked in we were startled by either a homeless guy or a scrapper.he had one eye an it looked like he had sheetrock dust all over him, He didn't really bother us but it's a little unsettling knowing there's someone like that in a place when your exploring, Cool video

[@Cheetoluv]

Glad you were not caught! I’m surprised that someone of the students that earned those trophies and team pictures haven’t snuck back in and took them if they were on the teams that earned the trophies and in those pictures. Kept some souvenirs from their days at the school! Their football jerseys, , things that would have memories.

[@urbaxvibes]

If I went to that school I def would have gone back to save those memories!

[@thomvogan3397]

Shame on whoever was responsible for leaving all that perfectly good school supplies to go to rot. There are a lot of struggling schools in third world countries that would have been glad to have it. There also doesn't seem to be much wrong with the building even after being abandoned for 5 years which makes me wonder why they had to close it in the first place. Let me guess, some school official with connections to the company that got the contract to build the new school claimed it was full of mold

[@saramoneer380]

[@banditt18]

odds are the firefighters did see them but chose not to act on it as they where not doing anything distructive and the fire fighters didnt want the extra paper work. what a lot of people dont understand we are trained to notice even the smallest thing in our surroundings if that makes sense

[@The_Samurai_Emperor]

Hey urbax, I'm in band and I wanted to tell you that the percussion instruments you found were bass drums and snare drums. That chest harness is a special harness for snare drums and bass drums in the marching band, the drums are particularly not very heavy but do have some weight to them around 30 to 40 pounds, and that is a really small band room for a high school.

Sheesh, classic books you could still use or sell same with the desks,shelves, even the old laptops have worth. By the way, wait till you like 30 years out of high school to feel old. Lol. Great video!!

[@videogeek24]

I normally don't comment on my thoughts because I love seeing what gets left behind in schools, but this school district really has me upset with the throw away mentality. I've never seen so much stuff left behind and just let to be destroyed. I truly hope the school board isn't complaining about money because it looks like a good amount was left for others to destroy. I honestly say i would have rather gone to that school than the new mondern one. It truly feels like a high school. It shows they were very student centered. Great job on the video and im glad you two are safe.

[@thefly17]

1:03 I search up it’s said that Firefighters and paramedics do get accused of stealing stuff rather frequently.

[@winterstokdyk9841]

band kid here- what you found in the music room was marching drums. looked like a snare and a big bass. from what ive heard from the drumline, the harnesses with the weight of the drums is not at all comfortable and is a lot on the shoulders and back, but you get used to it the more you do it

[@amightysailingman]

Great vid. It was better than watching any horror movie, because the terror was real. Have to admit I don't really do much urban exploration just because I'm too much of a coward and afraid of being caught. Really not much since being on the High Line in NYC before it was converted to a park. Still amazed nobody called the cops on me, being out in the open in the middle of Manhattan on a weekday afternoon. Surely thousands of office workers could have seen me from their windows.

[@williambrown5934]

38:36 I know it’s probably wrong to say/ comment, but the occurrence of that scrapper appearing on the scene and such felt like it added to the video’s intrigue and interest beyond that it already had as being a interesting deep dive of an abandoned place. 1:13:25 Huh, well I think the firemen missed out, they were a long ways from that library or whatever with shelves and the floor loaded with books upon books… Think most might have grabbed at least a few for reading… Well, I don’t enjoy a book but many do and would want some book or two for those times… Probably are/ were some good ones for avid readers…

I'm only 20 minutes into the video but from what everyone is saying in the comments I'm glad that you guys were safe and didn't get caught. Also Mae I didn't think you were that old you're about the same age as my niece and both of you look really young and she's 28 I think she graduated in I believe in 2014 or 2015. Anyways I went to Orono middle/jr high school from 1985 to 1988 and this is in minnesota and this school kinda reminds me of the school I went to at orono. Mae I had the same problem as you about the locker location lol my locker was the farthest from my classes in middle/jr high school. I also want to say that my orono middle/jr high school was built in 1955.One more thing about the age thing and it's actually pretty funny my niece who is 28 get carded when she goes to bars and she really does look way younger than she looks and so do you Mae. I think she has had comments of her looking 19 or 20. I.t's been 36 years since I've been to my old school my last semester was in 1988 and I'm 50 going on 51 the end of next month of 2025. I know high schools and middle/jr high schools are different but at mine it was a gym/auditorium and at the middle /jr high school we had stadium seats in the gym that was pulled out for different events.

[@urbaxvibes]

[@Planning_Erin]

The school closed because it cost more money to try to fix it than it would to build a brand new one. So that's what they did a few blocks away. The city says it was supposed to be cleaned out by the BOE but a few months ago (after seeing a KZbin video of an explore) they realized it was in fact not cleaned out. I'm surprised it still has so much in it after it was brought to the attention of the city. I'm sure the parents were pissed the kids left their shoes.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

I'm going here to explore this weekend. and I've seen there is a ton left behind.

[@JohnnyT002]

It's hard to get some city's to clean out a school building. It cost them money to that so they just let every thing waste way. When I was going to school and we moved to a new school across the street. the old building sat abandoned for a year till people started going into the building and throwing things from the school into the school yard. Then they tore it down.

[@xXBlueTheCornSnakeXx]

@@JohnnyT002 The same thing happened to my school, After the new one opened it took quite a while for them to even look at the old ones [Including mine]. It still feels weird looking at an empty field where i had so many memories. At least they left the rock in the corner fence with the school name painted on it.

[@joshuaandersonanderson5509]

Did you get anything ​@@alexandersalarms5380

[@scardinalc]

It appears based on CT news I just seen the city actually appreciated seeing the videos. And never condemned those who went in an open door and recorded them instead they condemned the school board instead for leaving the mess. Pretty accountable governance in this regard.

As a marching band and a band member, those drums are NOT light. I think they’re around 20-30 pounds. And yes, you have to March with those on and wear that harness with it too (I think harnesses are about 5 pounds maybe?). So depending on the size drum you carry (and I’m talking about the bass drums), you can most likely be putting around 30 pounds onto your body AND marching an entire show with it.
