I have a plant near by. Its loudest when in any range of one of the 96 sirens in the 10 mile radius of the plant. So if you live physically close to any one of those sirens, you hear it the loudest.

This is really nostalgic to me. Our city would do it every first friday of the month at noon and i remember i was always sitting at school when it was happening. It stopped like 8 years ago and i totally forgot about it.
I mean the siren isn’t at the plant itself. There are warning sirens in all of the communities that would be affected if something went wrong at the plant. That’s why it’s so loud. He’s probably less than a mile from the siren.
Reminds me of an apartment I lived in. We had 14 tests a year of the build's fire system (monthly, an annual test of each floor's hallway sensors, and an annual test of the in-unit sensors). They would periodically be running a day or too late, so they literally had everybody trained to just ignore them even if it wasn't on the testing day. Plus the schedules were published so anyone wanting to start a fire maliciously would do it a couple hours before the scheduled test and watch everyone burn. First real fire the alarms didn't even go off, and the second fire nobody evacuated because why would they? Neither were a big deal, no significant smoke or injuries, but it was a great example of why you shouldn't train people to just ignore alarms.
In Mexico city every september 19 they test the earthquake alarm. In 2017 in the morning of September 19 the alarm went off and no one reacted thinking it was a test. This mistake led to thousands of deaths after the second strongest earthquake in Mexican history hit that same day.
Wrong. In CDMX there were like 300 deaths, and a few dozen more in surrounding states. The thousands were the wounded. And a lot of people reacted to the alarm, it's a well known date thanks to the 1985 earthquake, thats why casualties didn't go higher than that.
I used to live near Broadmore Hospital in the U.K. They also had sirens in and around the area, in most of the towns surrounding the Hospital. Towards the end of the sirens working lives they would sometimes fail and activate, especially in stormy weather. Which made for some very tense nights of shitting yourself every time you heard something move in the garden!!
I sense a lot of ptsd episodes taking place at that golf course. "C'mon grandpa lets go shoot some golf" "Okay pal" *Siren sounds* "THE NAZIS ARE COMING!!!!"
one of these plants are right next to my school, and everybody just disregards the occasional sirens. these comments just reminded me how weird it actually is
Its not weird at all, tornado alley, all of australia during the dry season, florida hurricane season testing, lots of places do similar stuff all the time You ever wunna witness true creepy look up chicago's broken tornado siren
Don’t know if any of you are familiar with Gunnison, Colorado but it’s a small mountain town with no threat of Earthquake, Tornado or really even Avalanche/Rockslide but every single day at 12 the sirens go off. I’m going to have to look up why now but it’s almost comforting
The town that l grew in used to set off an old air raid siren every day at noon. (This was back in the 1970's/1980's) They called "The noon whistle". In the summertime when all the neighborhood kids played outside and the noon whistle would go off, we would all head off to our homes for lunch and get back together about an hour later.
For those comments saying if the meltdown happens during the first Wednesday of the month at noon, there is a time limit on the siren if it goes off for usually more than 5 minutes or they can talk from the sirens.
@@violentscorl697 radiation is the chemical that flows in the air after the nuclear explosion happens and gives you cancer the heat from the blast that’s about equal and bright as the sun causes a human to burn up instantly
There was a warning where I live, it woke someone up and they were upset so they overreacted and yeah, they melted down.... A new pack of tic-tacs wouldn't mellow them up
Had a similar thing happen while I was on holiday in Edinburgh. I was walking on the beach (you can see the power plant down the coast) and the siren went off. I legit thought I was about to die
In my region the fire sirens sound like that. I remember when someone from another region moved here and when he first heard the sirens he thought a nuklear attack was going on.
@@chrishardin4695 of course i know that, its just knowing one of the most dangerous substances in the world is being housed there, gives off a chernobyl vibe
In the Netherlands we have the same every first monday of the month at noon, it goes off for 2 to 3 minutes or so. Though not for a nuclear meltdown, but for any type of emergency. The alarm warns to get inside as fast as possible and close all the windows.
Where I'm from at least, the long continous siren is always a drill, while in case of actual danger the siren would be oscillating tone, so you'd know the difference.
@@Fucisko We have sirens for if a nearby volcano erupts and they oscillate on tests, first Monday of the month at noon. I guess it just depends where you are.

Plot twist: The interviewee knew it wasn't Wednesday; he just lied to the interviewer to keep him happy and blissfully ignorant in his last moments before the plant exploded, wiping out every living thing in a 30 mile radius.
@@user-xw8dp3ve2b Aku-chan the Fukushima daiichi plant actually exploded, the roof came off of it. I watched it on the news when I lived in Japan. The thing that actually explodes is a buildup in hydrogen gas that's released through the meltdown. Matta-ne(✿^‿^)
In reality even in the worst case scenario like a reactor fire you'd have a good few minutes before the smoke reached you, and even then it's not like one breath is deadly.
We have something similar here in the Netherlands. The first monday of the month at 12 AM a country wide siren is going off just to make sure the siren works. The siren is actually made for catastrophic failures like an earthquake or an attack from our neighbours.
The town I grew up in had an air-raid siren for local firefighters to assemble at the station. The area was in Australia and quite bushfire prone. The siren would go some time between 10am and 2pm. The firefighters, all volunteers, didn't know when, they just had to be ready. As a result, air-raid sirens remind me of home and make me happy.
We have this in France every first Wednesday too. Not sure why tbh. I lived on an island before however and I know they’re testing the Tsunami/earthquake/Eruption sirens
I remember when I lived in Arkansas they would have tornado warning sirens test. And the speaker was right across the street from my house, super scary
We have a few of those in each block of every city in croatia but the sirens are used for air raids and they start on the first weekend day od the month

I live right by Three mile Island [TMI], ( the one that had a partial melt down, and just recently went offline.) Here in PA regulations dicaticate that you'r not using the main reactors while safety testing is underway, making it impossible for this situation to happen.
Interviewer: what’s that
Guy: Nuclear annihilation.
Interviewer: shouldn’t we be worried?
Guy: well if you hear the siren it basically means your screwed, so no point of wasting energy.
Sad, but true.
Dude, you know they would sound that if there is a potential failure too.. also nuclear fission energy is the safest energy we can grab a hold of as of now.

Knowing what to do is part of every P.A.T. (Plant Access Training) training and tests before we can enter and work at these facilities. Which are the some of the safest work places in the country.

I mean the siren isn’t at the plant itself. There are warning sirens in all of the communities that would be affected if something went wrong at the plant. That’s why it’s so loud. He’s probably less than a mile from the siren.

Ah yes, one of Ray Mark's comment that didn't reached 1k likes or more
Reminds me of an apartment I lived in. We had 14 tests a year of the build's fire system (monthly, an annual test of each floor's hallway sensors, and an annual test of the in-unit sensors). They would periodically be running a day or too late, so they literally had everybody trained to just ignore them even if it wasn't on the testing day. Plus the schedules were published so anyone wanting to start a fire maliciously would do it a couple hours before the scheduled test and watch everyone burn.
First real fire the alarms didn't even go off, and the second fire nobody evacuated because why would they? Neither were a big deal, no significant smoke or injuries, but it was a great example of why you shouldn't train people to just ignore alarms.
I love how the scene is just so calm and everyone keeps playing in the back as if "ah yes nuclear gasses above the golf camp, just like every week"
the steam is not nuclear
@@VictorLundersej i know. i was slighty overdoing it but surely aint healthy. still the contrast of calm and the nuclear power plant is awesome
It's not "nuclear gasses" my dude. It's just steam. Nuclear power is actually an incredibly clean source of power as long as it's handled properly.

In Mexico city every september 19 they test the earthquake alarm. In 2017 in the morning of September 19 the alarm went off and no one reacted thinking it was a test. This mistake led to thousands of deaths after the second strongest earthquake in Mexican history hit that same day.
Wrong. In CDMX there were like 300 deaths, and a few dozen more in surrounding states. The thousands were the wounded. And a lot of people reacted to the alarm, it's a well known date thanks to the 1985 earthquake, thats why casualties didn't go higher than that.
I used to live near Broadmore Hospital in the U.K.
They also had sirens in and around the area, in most of the towns surrounding the Hospital.
Towards the end of the sirens working lives they would sometimes fail and activate, especially in stormy weather.
Which made for some very tense nights of shitting yourself every time you heard something move in the garden!!

Don’t know if any of you are familiar with Gunnison, Colorado but it’s a small mountain town with no threat of Earthquake, Tornado or really even Avalanche/Rockslide but every single day at 12 the sirens go off. I’m going to have to look up why now but it’s almost comforting
The town that l grew in used to set off an old air raid siren every day at noon. (This was back in the 1970's/1980's) They called "The noon whistle". In the summertime when all the neighborhood kids played outside and the noon whistle would go off, we would all head off to our homes for lunch and get back together about an hour later.

"He's delusional, send him to the infirmary."
Siren:THIS IS NOT A DRILL, EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY

Everywhere in the Netherlands, the first monday of every month at 12 o'clock you hear a loud siren too.
We have something similar here in the Netherlands. The first monday of the month at 12 AM a country wide siren is going off just to make sure the siren works. The siren is actually made for catastrophic failures like an earthquake or an attack from our neighbours.
The town I grew up in had an air-raid siren for local firefighters to assemble at the station. The area was in Australia and quite bushfire prone. The siren would go some time between 10am and 2pm. The firefighters, all volunteers, didn't know when, they just had to be ready. As a result, air-raid sirens remind me of home and make me happy.
