And now it's dawn, you know, burned down.
00:02
It's no more. And I got to go to the top of that (expletive) with a big light, spinning, twirley thing for the airports, you know, the green and white light.
00:13
And yeah, that was on that hangar. It looks small from on the ground, but you get up there, it's like the size of your (expletive) car. It's huge.
00:23
And it's sad that it's gone.
00:26
I want to get in that control tower and see what's in there. There's a lot of nice antennas still up there.
00:32
You know, there's some antenna still on it. And I don't know if that'd be crazy if any radios were still in there. I doubt it, but (expletive), that'd be neat to go see what the (expletive) 's up.
00:43
We could break in around midnight.
00:46
Yeah, right.
00:47
You know,
00:48
because it was so close to Hangar 1, I wonder if anything in there is melted because that fire was so (expletive) hot.
00:55
Now, most of the heat went straight up. I mean, the old hangout, the bar, that little shack they used to, all the pilots used to get drunk at.
01:04
That's wooden and it's not far away. It was unscathed. Even the palm trees are still there.
01:10
But yeah, that was an interesting fire. It burned every (expletive) square inch of wood in that thing all the way. It didn't leave anything.
01:19
And now I want to see how they're going to bring those (expletive) concrete towers down.
