Visting Columbine in 1994

[@rocknation7065]

This is Columbine before the big renovations were completed to the school in 1995. Also the video was taken five years before the tragedy.

[@Kameno-o]

Usually Vampire Robot’s videos are so soothing and fascinating, but this and the before 9/11 videos are bittersweet, esp considering how these sites were considered just regular places till tragedy struck them

[@ytvuer]

The teacher at 2:19 might have been present when the shooting happened if he was still working there. Since the freshman class here would have graduated in 1997 all of the students in this video were likely out by then.

[@dentonscheibal3]

Whoever that teacher was, it definitely didn't look like it was David Sanders. (the one and only teacher to have been killed in the massacre while he was trying desperately to help evacuate students in the cafeteria and in the hallways and instruct the ones in classrooms to stay hidden inside)

[@stevenlee7763]
