    @kylex102? Wow

  7. CL137626 says:

    @kylex102 Hmm, they could cut the power than have? it flip back on, that would be attack mode, right?

  8. kylex102 says:

    @CL137626 I never heard them do attack mode. I think they just have it wired straight to a timer. I highly doubt there’s? a control box of any sort. If this thing did attack mode, I’d have a heart attack every time it went off. That would sound pretty spooky.

    @roberaith “why do they still test it? it’s? not like an Afghani bomber is gonna come and drop a bomb on your little town”

    Russia still flies it’s nuclear bombers along the UK coast, unannounced. There were around 30 flights last year, each requiring the RAF to scramble and fly alongside them,? as per protocol. They’re not bombing anything, it’s just a show & reminder. Timed with the denial of their weapons sales to the East. But this is test is just for historical purpose.

  20. lexichronicle2 says:

    Attention all personnel, prepare to get bombed

    They have things like this around Sellafield I think, to warn if there’s a major problem? with the reactors – which also breed plutonium. There’s an automatic phone call for the locals too. Chatting with the technicians up there is fun stuff.

  21. TheseYeahThese says:

    easily the most classic best? sounding siren

  22. frenzyXprime says:

    My towns? fire whistles are air raid sirens.
