It does seem very suspicious. Developers just want to build those townhomes all over Orange County 🤬
Probably payed a homeless to burn it down
BULLSEYE 🎯
@@omi_god they are already building in that area .

I just typed this exact comment
Incoming townhomes priced at 1.35 million
Try $2M!!!!!!!!!!
@@omi_god These hangars are an historical landmark.
I was stationed there 1982-1989. The outer skin of the hangar was corrugated metal. There is a small observation office on top of the hangar. In my opinion that is where the fire started. There were two catwalks that ran the entire length of the hangar, 110 feet high. I know because I went up there once. Christmas day of 1984 a junior crash crewman committed suicide by jumping off of one of the catwalks because he was denied Christmas leave. I was on Okinawa at the time but I remember reading about it. Because of that suicide access to the catwalks were sealed off. That fire started on top of the hangar, probably from that observation post I mentioned earlier. Someone was able to get past the metal plates that were at the bottom of the staircases that blocked the stairs going up to the catwalks. That is even if they were stil in place. There were two staircases for each catwalk. That is my opinion. What a loss. I have a lot of memories working out of that hangar with HMM-161.
I feel like that was started on purpose. Developers probably want to add more homes.
They can’t build on the site. It’s heavily polluted. The great park at former MCAS El Toro was going to be housing but can’t due to the toxic fuels and solvents used to clean aircraft and components
Developers would need to remedy the area for decades before it can be built on.
@@MikeGoesBadaBoom
But there is homes all around the area of what use to be El Toro Marine base. Is it just that certain area?
Wow. I never would have imagined this. Of course it's arson, because there is nothing there that would have started the blaze by itself.
@@omi_god How else could it ignite? There's no power there or electricity. Maybe it just magically sparked up.
@@omi_god you don’t know the area so YOU are speculating. There were no gusts of wind and no electricity running to them. They are abandoned and zero power running to them
this was definitely done on purpose
Proof please or delete your stupid comment
Jesus Christ you’re dense
One of the largest wooden structures on the planet.
How tragic.
Let’s put up the nicest 17,500 capacity amphitheater because Irvine doesn’t want it anymore.
We could name it the Tustin Hanger Amphitheater!
Keep headline artists stopping in Orange County so we don’t have to drive to LA or San Diego!
Hey Tustin, call Livenation!!!
That’s a good idea , Save the music ❤️
I was wondering how in the world a metal hanger caught fire but it being made of wood now makes more sense.
@@damidnightgolfer Yep!!!!! Built 80+ years ago.
It was cause by the City, I sew it few minutes after it started, and for about an hour no fire truck showed there.
Fix headline... historic hanger SET ON FIRE for greedy developer to get their hands on...
Got proof?
Just like the Great Park boondoggle....We were sold a pig in a poke. The developers sold us on the wonderful, wilderness park with canyons and streams and lakes......Right! Go take a look sometime, just look for that orange balloon....Funny how development is creeping in on all sides!
@@mulletsrule3388 Either you're blind and can't see the color beige or you work for one of the piggy developers
@@omi_god It's coming. They'll find a gas can with KB Homes or Lennor or Toll Bros label on it,,,
@@kendallevans4079 it’s true look what they to Irvine meadows ,5 point amphitheater .
This is sad😢 I love in Tustin and love looking at these massive icons.
This is abolute crap, the fire looks like it was set by a scummy house developer because there is no way how the fire could have somehow burned in the middle of the tustin hangar and have gotten that big.
100% Correct
Well its a wooden structure, so its possible to spread and burn this severely, have any proof it was arson? Please share that with the police and fire cheif
@@omi_god There was plans a few days ago that a developer or city council could burn or demolish only one of the hangers.
PROLLY SOME DEVELOPERS WANTED THAT LAND!!
Fight On!!
✌✌
Lol I see more people thinking the same.
More 1million dollar town homes.
Yeah I was probably developers probably hired homeless people so they can build more homes condos and crap
Irvine company they been trying to build on that land for years
Sad to see. I was in that hanger back in ‘77-‘78, while in the Marines there at the Tustin air base. It was massive for certain. A piece of history gone.
Me too. 77-81 HMM-163.
I was at school and you could smell the smoke from there.. I was on the black top and there were some ashes. No school for me today 😭
Thought that was concrete and steel, not wood.
Man this is so sad 😢 I hope they let us know how this happened
probably the criminals/ homeless you all wanted.
Bet the property is owned by Armenians and this is an insurance fraud case
Armenians concentrate on medicare and workman's comp.
I can name dozens of "doctors" in Glendale who's last name ends in "ian" that can declare you disabled.
horrible news. history gone forever.
*I'm surprised the front is still standing*
The pillars are most likely cement. The metal rails keeping them standing up. Now there is only one court of one side left. The rains yesterday extinguished the fire.
Prime real estate….. 🙄
I live right acrossed from this blaze. My concern is the weather. The winds are picking up and the fire is still ongoing since 1:30am. They are just letting the hanger burn down due to water issues? 🤔 If the Santa Ana winds hit there will be serious problems with the spreading of this fire. 🙄
I'm a tustin resident, Hum just think how much $$$ will come in to the city. county and State once this land is redeveloped Property tax, sales tax, permits. . . .
Plus traffic and crime
Seems like Arson, greedy developers wanting to build houses
@@omi_god They will now! They WILL find away...money talks
This excuse of “flared up” is used by fire fighter’s to let it burn … It far easier to demo when burned to the ground than deconstruct half burned structures…. They do that in the city as well.. They slow walk response, use unsafe execuse among other reasons… Proving fire department intentionally slow walked response would be difficult and they know that.
Huell Howser visited here, before.
Screams Donald bren
That's worse than 911
Well the demolition of England is happening too
Oh it's catching fire. Oh the humanity!
Looks like something crashed on the hangar..
That hole had been there since 2013 I believe. Navy never repaired.
We don't watch
Sadly nastolgic.
Oh nooo
I saw it
I wonder if the newsome owns that property
@@omi_god I don't know who owns it but newsome has already said he wants a lot of properties down so he can build million-dollar condos doesn't matter to me cuz I'll never go into California ever again
BULLSEYE 🎯
@@yamama7265so how does Newsom directly connect to this then jackass
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the were for Blimps ..
They were for any aircraft ..shame to see a piece of history go down this way, with a fire that was purposely started.
NAS Tustin is like MCAS El toro. It’s too heavily polluted for housing.
Housing developers don't care as long as it pads their bottom line.
@@Elmas_Chingon they can’t build on the site. The best developers can do is get as close as possible.
The Great Park which was former marine corps base el toro was to be a housing development but the contamination was so bad that it was converted into a public park
