What gets me is the...
00:02
The hangar that burned down, you know, the pillars are still sitting there, the land is still undeveloped and not generating money,
00:11
and they secure it, you know, regarding toxic waste, asbestos and other materials that were burning that day, yeah,
00:25
they need to finish the job and get on with it and develop it and make some...
00:30
good land out of it.
00:32
And there are school children out there picking it up like they did the first time.
00:36
Yeah, it's right across the street from a school,
00:39
and it's right across the street from a housing development.
00:45
I have videos with fire and everything else.
00:48
I went down there every day.
00:50
It didn't last just a day.
00:51
It took about two weeks.
00:52
I was interviewed by the Register.
00:55
I got more press than the fire captain.
01:03
I'm not sure how to respond.
01:05
I'm just saying, my son called me in the morning, he said, Dad, the hangar's on fire.
01:11
I'm like, no.
01:13
Did they go to the academy?
01:15
I threw my clothes on and I was there right at the beginning.
01:19
I mean, like,
01:21
I was there probably 7:30.
01:24
How hell, it might have run into each other.
01:29
I was right there at the end, near Legacy Magnet Academy.
01:34
The academy.
01:36
Right in the cul-de-sac there where the street ends by the tower.
01:46
Yeah, my wife walks a dog over at Tustin Legacy every day, so I know exactly what he's talking about.
01:51
There you go.
01:57
I got some incredible video of that whole roof collapsing on fire and cracking,
02:04
those timbers cracking.
02:06
I've never seen anything like it, like yellow smoke coming off from the windows burning.
02:16
Yeah,
02:17
my problem about that whole thing is, they cannot figure out where the source came from.
02:24
Those buckets have been standing for 50 plus years.
02:31
God forsaken, don't let the other one burn down.
02:34
Could have been a rat ate through some live wire, you know?
