Kern County Use Bearcat To Neutralize Man Being Evicted

Ajouté : 2026-05-25

[00:00:03]Leather jacket through the chaos. Letting all the sin.

[00:00:10]Temptation in a bottle. Ready for the night. Craving for the thrill. It's time to ignite.

[00:00:17]Desires burning bright. Echo in the dead of night. No retreat. No looking back on this heart attack.

[00:00:32]Hey, how are you going? No time for a thumbnail tonight. No time. I'll have to fix it later. Uh, no time today. We have no time. Zero. Oh, we probably have some time, but like not not enough time. Uh, how are you guys? How are you doing? We have an interesting an interesting critical incident from Porterville in California and it happened a while ago on April 9th. Now I remember when this happened at the time but there wasn't a ton of information that came out. Well, now they have finished their critical incident uh investigation into what happened that day and they have given us a playbyplay video of exactly what went down. And I don't think I've ever seen them use a bearcat to neutralize a target before. I've seen them go to houses and shoot people and do all sorts of things.

[00:01:35]I have never seen them use a bearcat to like run over someone and kill them to neutralize a target. I've never seen that. Well, today we're all going to see it. Uh, hey guys. Good to see you. Good to see you. No time to be fancy today.

[00:01:53]We have no times. Yeah, there's a lot going on. We had a shooting out in Washington DC earlier. There was a uh not 100% sure what happened there. There was some shooting about a block from the White House. They saying here that uh two people were injured. One of them was the shooter and they've been taken.

[00:02:14]Well, they're dead, but yeah, it seems like maybe somebody very mentally ill. They're saying here the latest update is suspect who thought he was Jesus identified as sinister warning signs moments before attack revealed.

[00:02:30]They're saying he's a 21-year-old man who said he believed he was Jesus Christ.

[00:02:36]Sure. I mean, we all have to have dreams. Uh Nazir Best, 21, was gunned down after exchanging fire with the Secret Service in Washington DC earlier today. They're saying he's from Maryland and he had a documented history of mental health concerns and had previous encounters with a security agency outside of the White House. So this guy's been there been there before obviously well known to the secret service and for whatever reason he's decided to do this uh you know I think we we've seen like two different attacks on the president one where it's like ideological motivated and that's like a different type of thing that's a very insidious thing like even if you don't like Donald Trump that's okay that's why we have things called politics, right? We have some people who are for, some people who are against, sometimes your person is in, sometimes the other other team gets their go. That's why it's called the democracy, right? Uh but but you don't go shoot people. You don't go shoot and try and shoot the president. Like that's not okay. Don't be doing that. But I don't think that's what's going on here.

[00:03:52]I think this was more someone who was quite ill and obviously having some sort of mental uh episode. I think that's what's going on. So yeah, Ping is of the opinion that you you know I we have politics in this country as well like every every democracy does and I'm not always a fan of who's in office either but that is how the democracy works. It is the majority of people. Whoever votes and you know that side is the majority.

[00:04:25]That's what we do. Like that's how it works, right? It's a vote. It's not a I wish this would happen. It's a vote of our population.

[00:04:35]We do we we do what we can. You do your part and whatever happens after that, you know, the only other things you can do is you can go further. You can become and get into politics if you want. You can go run for things if you think things are being done wrong. Put your hand up and become a part of it. That's that's the other option. So that's that's the way I I think of it. And uh yeah. All right, let's head over to this cuz this is quite it's not a long video.

[00:05:05]It's about seven minutes, but um it's a case breakdown by the Kern County Sheriff and uh you guys are going to see some things. I don't know. Does any has anyone in the chat watched this yet? Has anyone seen this video yet? Maybe someone else is watching another channel or something. I don't know if anyone else has done it. Um, I'm often not paying attention, but if anyone else did this video today and you've seen it, let me know because if you haven't seen it, you're going to get quite a quite a shock.

[00:05:36]Hey, my friend. Hi, Mornings. How are you, my friend? Watching on the TV.

[00:05:40]Okay, it doesn't seem like anyone's watched it yet.

[00:05:43]Okay, this is your warning. It's not gruesome or anything. It's not like, you know, something that would get us kicked off YouTube, but it's pretty confronting. All right. All right. Here we go.

[00:06:02]The following presentation is intended to help bring context to the facts surrounding this case. Some of the video has been edited to protect the privacy of those involved and to avoid the release of information that state law prohibits the sheriff's office from releasing. The redactions and edits do not affect the depiction of events presented in this video. The following presentation contains a map of the location. Bodyworn camera footage, drone footage, and photos of the scene. Viewer discretion is advised. On April 9th, 2026, at approximately 1 pm, Kern County Sheriff's Office SWAT team responded to assist Tallery County Sheriff's Office during a critical incident which occurred in the 1700 block of West Bryant Avenue in Porterville, California. Tallery County Sheriff's Office deputies had attempted to contact a suspect during an eviction from the above residence. During this initial contact, Tallery County Sheriff's Office deputies encountered a suspect armed with a rifle and an officer involved shooting occurred. The suspect shot and killed a Toary County Sheriff's Office deputy.

[00:06:57]>> All right, I'll stop it right there because she's talking quite fast. So, what they were trying to do is they were attempting to uh serve an eviction notice. They wanted this guy to the obviously the owner had gone through the proper protocol and uh they have to serve the notice basically saying you are being evicted. So, a detective went there, went to serve the notice, and he fired on that TCSO deputy and killed them. Uh, he died. We'll talk more about him in a little while. I've got some uh photos of him, and I think it's proper that we pay the respects to him. He, you know, he's just trying to do his job.

[00:07:34]went out there and you know the sad thing is I was I was reading into trying to do some research before we came live and they were saying he he the guy that's involved in this we'll get we'll talk a bit more about him in a little while. He was not wanted for anything. They he was not being arrested. They weren't going to take him to jail. They weren't going to bring him in. They literally all they had to do was knock on the door and hand a piece of paper and leave.

[00:08:07]That was it. So, they're not going to they weren't going to take him away.

[00:08:11]They weren't going to put him in handcuffs. They just had to personally hand him the eviction notice.

[00:08:18]That was all. Instead, he picked up a firearm and decided to kill that deputy in in cold blood. So, what happens after this is when uh the Kern County uh response team comes in and they decide to be like, "Oh, you killed one of our guys. Okay, now it's on and we're going to neutralize it."

[00:08:41]>> Kern County Sheriff's Office SWAT team arrived with specialized equipment to assist and began conducting evacuations with allied law enforcement agencies from the area. During this time, the suspect, David Morales, aged 59, continued shooting from inside his residence. Kern County Sheriff's Office SWAT in conjunction with other tactical teams attempted to negotiate a peaceful surrender while deploying specialized equipment to contain the suspect. Kern County Sheriff's Office specialized equipment included a Bearcat and a Rook.

[00:09:06]The Bearcat is an armored vehicle used during critical incidents to provide safe transport of Kern County Sheriff's Office personnel and members of the public. The Rook is also an armored vehicle with enhanced maneuverability with multiple functions for accessing inaccessible areas, removing obstacles and breaching capabilities during incidents involving barricaded or armed subjects.

[00:09:29]>> So that is the rock and they often they often have a pole on it and you'll you'll see them sometimes they'll like smash in windows or uh bust in a wall and tear it down. That type of thing.

[00:09:43]That's what the rook is used for. We've seen it in other um situations where people have barricaded themselves. They they're really really useful.

[00:09:53]>> At about 5:30 p.m., Morales shot and struck the Kern County Sheriff's Office Rook several times with a high-owered rifle from a barricaded position in the residence. The suspect's rounds penetrated the armor plating and compromised the ballistic glass of the Rook. The Kern County Sheriff's Office SWAT operator maneuvering the Rook withdrew to the front of the residence.

[00:10:11]During this time, Morales fled through a window into the backyard. Kern County Sheriff's Office SWAT operators maneuvered the Bearcat into the yard to search for Morales. As SWAT searched, they observed the suspect hiding in thick brush in the backyard. The suspect was lying on his back in a shooting position armed with a rifle. Deputies observed the suspect aiming the high-powered rifle at the driver of the Bearecat. The suspect remained in this position before deputies made the determination to use the Bearecat as a means of deadly force.

[00:10:40]The following is bodywn camera footage of a deputy on scene. Please note the bodywn camera does not capture everything the deputy sees and the deputy does not see everything the body camera captures. The following footage demonstrates two perspectives, one from inside the bearcat and one from inside the rook. While morale is shot at deputies, are you good?

[00:11:12]that >> parents are being deployed.

[00:11:25]>> Additional gunshots fired.

[00:11:27]>> Thermal drone footage captured Morales, who was armed, climbing out of the window of the residence in an apparent attempt to seek cover while laying in wait for responding deputies. The following footage has no audio.

[00:11:46]>> Yeah. So you guys can see him. He's helping out. Armed and wearing camouflage and a mask, laying in weight while pointing the rifle at the driver of the Bearecat.

[00:11:54]>> Driver side 5T 6T our side of the fence.

[00:11:59]Laying down proned out just up against the fence. The driver of the Bearecat repositioned the vehicle and accelerated towards the suspect during which time Morales fired and struck the driver's side window of the Bearecat and the Bearecat struck the tree that Morales was hiding under. During this time, the suspect fired additional shots, striking the driver's side and undercarriage of the Bearcat. Deputies backed up and re-engaged Morales. Following the second engagement, they observed Morales was still armed and manipulating the firearm and reaching for a handgun in his waistband. Deputies again used the Bearcat to run over the suspect. a third and final time. The following is drone footage of the use of force. The following footage has no audio.

[00:12:44]Here you can see the gunshot to the driver's side window.

[00:13:04]All right. So, they use the bearcat to try and pin him in this back area of the yard and he fires on them again. And you saw that puff of like whatever it hit projectile and they're like, "Oh my god, he's firing on us once more." So, they try twice and they actually get him on the ground and it'll switch view in a minute and you'll see they actually have him pinned.

[00:13:34]This guy, not very clever, goes, "Do you know what I'm going to do?

[00:13:40]I'm going to reach for my my other gun."

[00:13:43]So, he has another gun. Uh, not the long barrel. He has a has a pistol. He's like, "I'm going to try to get my pistol to to continue firing.

[00:13:55]Not a very clever choice because they decide, oh, he doesn't want to, you know, surrender.

[00:14:04]Okay, let's try and run him over for good this time. And it's going to switch view and you guys are going to see what happens when you decide to try and grab your other firearm. Don't grab a firearm if you are in front of cops because this will happen. Uh if you try and do this, they're not like they'll give you a chance and then it's over. Uh so here we go.

[00:14:45]>> We should get a voice over. At this point, the drone repositions and captures the third and final use of force. Viewer discretion is advised.

[00:14:55]>> Yes. Viewer discretion. This bit's pretty messed up. Okay, I'm going to pause it.

[00:15:04]He's right there. Can you guys see him?

[00:15:06]He's where the fence is. And between the bearcat and the fence, there's a guy lying on his on his side. And you can see an arm. Like you can see his arm. He starts reaching around. He's trying to find that weapon. And you'll see what happens next.

[00:15:23]>> Here you can see Morales manipulating a firearm.

[00:15:41]Here is a closer look at the firearms and Morales's possession.

[00:16:02]The Vicelia Police Department took the lead as the investigative agency for the Tallery County Sheriff's Office related shooting. Kern County Sheriff's Office detectives coordinated with Ficelia Police Department to conduct a concurrent use of force investigation.

[00:16:14]Kern County Sheriff's Office Deputy Chad Clark was placed on routine critical incident leave pending the completion of the investigation. Kern County Sheriff's Office detectives investigate any use of deadly force by any member of the department. The investigation will be submitted to the Taller County District Attorney's Office for criminal review.

[00:16:30]If an individual is being arrested by a peace officer, it is their duty to refrain from using force or any weapon to resist. A peace officer is justified in using deadly force upon another person only when the officer reasonably believes based on the totality of the circumstances that such force is necessary to defend against an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. The decision to use force shall be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable law enforcement officer in the same situation based on the totality of the circumstances known to or perceived by the officer at the time rather than with the benefit of hindsight. and that the totality of the circumstances shall account for occasions when officers may be forced to use quick judgment about using force. On May 12th, 2026, the Kern County Sheriff's Office convened an incident review board examining the use of force in this incident. The use of force was determined to be within policy. Anyone with additional information regarding this case is asked to call the Kern County Sheriff's Office at 6618613110 or current secret witness at 661322440.

[00:17:35]There you go. Uh I I got to tell you that one was we've watched a lot of these over the years on this channel and I think we've watched hundreds of body cam of people doing all sorts of different things. Uh this one is pretty odd. It's um I don't really understand and I don't think we know enough about his life to really know why he would want to do this. Was you know an eviction he must have known the eviction notice was coming. It's not something that just pops up one day. The owners normally try and tell you beforehand. So I don't think it was a surprise unless he thought they were there for a different reason. other than the eviction notice, I don't know. But, uh, I've never seen a bearcat used in that particular way. Uh, not to run over someone, but it probably was the safest thing for them to do because their windshield had already been compromised. There was already a bullet hole in it.

[00:18:44]And if you know how this type of um uh bulletproof material works, once it is compromised, uh it'll take a few rounds into it. Uh but if you hit the same place uh twice, that's it. Like it's it'll go through. It'll most likely go through and um possibly hit someone.

[00:19:04]Uh I used to be a process server.

[00:19:08]Ah, let's see. Did you Did you tell me anything else? Uh Jackie said, "Sounds like sword by cop to me." In my opinion, it could have been Let's look it up. What's the guy's name?

[00:19:25]Morales. Right. Let's have a look. David Morales 59.

[00:19:31]Was there any like background? Do we have any background about him?

[00:19:36]This guy seemed to have it all planned out like he really knew what he was going to do. should this uh day ever come. There's a photo of him, by the way. A different photo of him, not the one under the truck.

[00:19:53]I'm just trying to see if there's any sort of background to him.

[00:19:58]No, I don't really see anything about him. The the detective who was killed was named Randy Hoppett. He was 35 and he worked for Toair. So he was with their uh with their agency. Here he is here getting a commendation for something in the past and unfortunately was killed in cold blood while serving that eviction notice. I mean, you know, pretty sad to go to work and then never come home, right? I feel bad for his family.

[00:20:34]Uh, Sweet Universe said, "It's scary because the person you're serving can get angry at any moment." I think that's why now, most of the time, don't they, Sweet Universe, it has to go through the sheriff now? Isn't that Isn't that the new rules that they are the ones to serve the paperwork now? I'm pretty sure that uh not not in every state, but I'm pretty sure in most of them, it has to come from the cops now because there's been too many violent incidents that have happened like this. So Gayla said obviously decided he was going to die at the home. It's very sad.

[00:21:10]I mean it wasn't his home. He was obviously renting it. Uh sad for everyone. Sad that he was going to be evicted from his home for whatever reason. We don't know why. And sad that this officer um died in the line of duty. It is not desirable. Not something we want to happen. Uh there was an update from Kern County and the sheriff did speak on it about a month ago and I will I'll take you over there to listen to what he has to say about it is I don't want to play all of it because it's like 20 minutes but I'll listen to you hear his remarks about what had happened here. Let's go here and the Bearcat to respond to assist to Larry County.

[00:21:55]I'm going to talk a a little bit about the use of force. the other part of the investigations to Larry County and I would encourage you to contact them for details if you have questions. During the incident, the we deployed our rook, we deployed our Bearcat.

[00:22:12]Uh the suspect moved around quite a bit inside the house and ultimately exited the back window of a of the residence.

[00:22:22]The bearcat had already the rook had already been shot several times. The Bearecat went around with employees inside of it, deputies inside of it, and as they were approaching the back of the residence, the suspect was lying in weight. We think probably waiting for ground troops to uh ambush them. As the deputies went towards the house, the suspect fired a high-owered rifle. the rook, I mean the Bearcat took four rounds to the driver's side of the of the windshield and the deputies uh driving the rook ran over the suspect and the suspect ultimately was killed.

[00:23:00]That's in a nutshell and I know you have questions so feel free >> would KCSO dealt with the situation any differently than what it how it unfolded?

[00:23:12]>> It was it was KCSO. kind of the the whole eviction situation itself. I mean, whose call was it to to send Casey out there and make the ultimate decision?

[00:23:21]>> That's a question for Terary County.

[00:23:24]>> If it happened here in Kerna, would it have been >> It happens every single day. We serve civil processes, eviction notices every single day.

[00:23:33]>> Are like that common?

[00:23:35]>> Debts in general, >> the eviction notices, >> debts in in regard to eviction notices.

[00:23:41]Yeah. Are they common?

[00:23:43]We have a civil division that does nothing but serve civil papers, eviction notices, uh everything that's civil.

[00:23:51]>> Does a case like this make you take a deeper look at the processes for that civil division and ensuring that those officers remain safe?

[00:24:00]>> Not at all. We respond to calls for services every single day, hundreds of times. We never know what we're going into. Civil deputies are deputy sheriffs. They are trained to serve civil processes and uh we would do nothing differently.

[00:24:16]>> How many KCSO deputies were called out?

[00:24:19]>> I think probably half of our SWAT team, I don't know what that number is.

[00:24:22]>> Okay. The tactic to use the Bearcat on the suspect, has that ever been used before?

[00:24:27]>> The Bearcat's been used several times >> in in order to apprehend the suspect the way it was. Well, the use of the bearcap is a use of force and the objective of deadly force use of force is to stop the threat. Whether it be a weapon where you fire your weapon which is intentional to stop the threat. Same thing same concept applies to bearcat.

[00:24:49]>> Is it within the uh the department's use of force policy to use a vehicle as lethal force?

[00:24:57]I haven't read the use of force policy when in relation to that, but I can tell you when use of force, deadly force is used to stop a threat, to save your life, all bets are off. And in this particular case, uh the deputy was uh in they were in fear of their lives. They were being fired with a high-powered rifle that had actually penetrated the cockpit of the Bearecat already. Um those deputies lives were on the line.

[00:25:22]Was Kern County uh sheriff's office operating the Bearcat or was it Tari County?

[00:25:27]>> Kern County.

[00:25:28]>> What about sheriff drugs comment saying that it was intentionally they intentionally ran him over because he shot at police.

[00:25:33]>> Every time we have an officer involved shooting, the shooting is intentional uh to stop the threat. Uh I think Sheriff Budro was probably very emotional yesterday and his comments I'll leave I'll let you ask him about those.

[00:25:52]Look, as someone who's been to these press conferences and I work in the media myself, um I often get a little frustrated at the questions, but I I understand they're just they're trying to dig and get like a layer behind what he's willing to give, but they sort of sound repetitive at the same time. He's not going to move off the party line.

[00:26:14]The party line is it's a use of force and it's deliberate and we only do it to neutralize a target.

[00:26:22]They're trying to question around it to try and get him to say something else, but he won't. He he won't he's going to stick to whatever the whatever the policy is. That that's basically his job. His job is to make sure uh they stay within that policy. So, I mean, they can keep asking him till the cows come home, but he's not going to say anything uh different. Uh but yeah, there you go. There's a bit of the interview with the sheriff uh from Kern County and then the other one is Tair.

[00:26:54]Uh so, there was quite a number of people. So, we had Tair County, we had Kern County, and then we had uh Visalia also. Visalia did the uh investigation into the actual uh use of force. So, they often hand it off to a third-party uh agency who's not involved and they ask them to look at it and they say, "Hey, would anything would you guys have done anything different? Was there a way to change the outcome? Did they have a right to use deadly force?" But, as you heard at the other at the end of the other video, they came back with a positive in that they were okay at doing it. Sorry.

[00:27:38]Um, the other sheriff said, "Yeah, we hit him." Yeah, I know. Well, I mean, what else are you going to say? No, we didn't. No, we just tickled him a little bit. Tickled him with a 5,000 lb truck.

[00:27:51]I mean that thing I don't know if you guys realize how heavy a bearcat is, but these things are like an armored tank and they weigh like many thousands of pounds and uh it would have been quite a uh dramatic Well, we saw it on the video. Uh Kathy said, "So deputy served an eviction notice and was shot." That's what that's what kicked it all off. This was not like I know in the video that we watched this one here, it seems like it, you know, it the video is only like 8 minutes long, but this actually took place over many hours. Uh, so I don't know if that was obvious from what we watch, but this happened over a long period of time. This is not like they went in there, the de the deputy that served the paperwork got shot and they're like, "Yeah, get the bearcat."

[00:28:42]And they just ran him over. No, no, no.

[00:28:45]It happened over like hours. They were like negotiating with him. They were, you know, getting fired on. They evacuated the local area. They were trying to, you know, trying to do something. And eventually they just went, "No, we're not going to be able to win here. And we're going to have to sort of end it." And they decided to decided to use the Bearcat as the weapon. So Sweden said, "So in the UK, they're not playing with you. You're out." Yep.

[00:29:15]It looks heavy. This is not the bearcat.

[00:29:17]This is the rook. So, in the video, you'll see it. Where's that bit?

[00:29:23]This is the rook here. And I think it did have the pole on the top of it. Let me see if we got a shot of it.

[00:29:31]There was a shot where you could see it right at the beginning of it. Right there.

[00:29:37]See, that's See, it's got the pole on the top of it. What they normally use this for is punching in windows. So they'll use that that probe or whatever you want to call it and they just punch in windows with it. It can also take out walls. So you can actually bring down walls with it too. You can punch through a cinder block and then just rip it down. And they often do this to open up the area so they can see what's going on. Um, yeah, we saw we saw in another one like a year or so ago, there was a dude barricaded in a twostory home and they tore down the whole front facade and opened up the entire house so that he couldn't hide and uh that one ended up they I think they ended up shooting him and he ended up dying. Uh I think eventually did he kill his wife?

[00:30:26]And I can't remember if he killed his wife or his wife had been in a DV incident. And then that was the the second part of it was them trying to get him out of that building, but at the holiday park. No, no, this was a private residence. Not that one. Not that one.

[00:30:42]This was at a private residence and it was like a two-story home and they just punched through a wall and then tore it down and they opened up that home. It was so they could find where he was. Uh, no, it was a man and a woman.

[00:30:57]I maybe we're thinking of a different one. The one I think I'm thinking of was in Atlanta. It was in Georgia, I'm pretty sure. And it was not in the West Coast. I think the one you're thinking of was um in the West Coast. It was a house. Let me have a look.

[00:31:23]There was one we did like a year ago.

[00:31:26]I'll see if I can find the image of it.

[00:31:31]Don't know if I can because there's been a lot of incidents with bearcats.

[00:31:36]Uh bearcat in action.

[00:31:46]I don't see the one that that we had.

[00:31:52]Yeah, I don't see the one that we did, but it was like a twostory home and they basically ripped down the front facade of it and then they fired into the home and killed the dude. It was a while ago.

[00:32:04]It was a while ago. Number a number of number of years or even months ago, but yeah, sort of this is what they do.

[00:32:12]Here's here's a photo. If you've never seen it, here's sort of what they'll do. This is a this is actually a slightly different one. This is not a rook. I don't think this is a truck. Uh same thing. They put the pole on it and uh yeah, they punch through the windows. Sometimes they'll punch through the side of the actual um facade and then they'll just tear it down. But that's sort of what they do.

[00:32:38]They punch through them. No, it's not that one. No, not that one. No, I know the one you're talking about. That was at the nudest colony in California.

[00:32:46]That's not the one I'm thinking of.

[00:32:48]That's the That's a different one. I know. No, that one's the one you're talking about had like the camper vans and that type of thing. No, no, no, no, no. The one I'm thinking of was an actual multi-story home. And I'm pretty sure the guy had either threatened to kill his wife or did kill his wife and then they were trapped in the home and then they came in. But they took down like the whole front of the home.

[00:33:21]Like they had to open it up because they hadn't heard from him. They had not heard from him in hours and they just tore down the front of the home and they were looking for him. They sent a drone in and they were trying to find out where he was in that home because they weren't sure if he'd killed it. You know, they weren't sure if he'd fired on himself. But different one. I know the one in California, that's the one everyone remembers, but the one I'm talking about was pretty sure it was in Atlanta.

[00:33:48]pretty pretty pretty confident it was over over on the other side of the country. Um, Swed said, "I hope that's covered by insurance." I actually not sure how that works.

[00:34:01]I feel bad for the homeowner because imagine you're like, "I want to evict this guy. I want him out of my home so I can get my home back." And then the cops are like, "We did it. We We got him out." And you're like, "Great. How'd you do it? Uh, well, we killed the guy and then we we we broke down half of your home. We're sorry about that. Uh, you know, he was he had guns and things and was firing on us. Uh, we didn't have much of a choice and we had to like smash in a bunch of windows and fired some tear gas into your lounge room.

[00:34:37]Sorry about that. Uh, I don't know if it's if um I don't know if that's covered by I've got no idea. I know in some cases where crime scene goes to your home, say if your say you had a rental property and someone committed a murder there and crime scene comes in and they cut out pipes and smash tiles and, you know, take samples of things. oftentimes the insurance will say no. I don't know what happens in California if they do this. I've got no idea. Hold on. Um who are in Okay. In California, it falls on the property owner's insurance uh for paying for the damages if police damage your home while conducting lawful executions of their duties, such as serving a warrant or apprehending a suspect. So, it sounds like it would have to do that.

[00:36:04]It says here, "Your insurer may pay the claim and then attempt to seek reimbursement from the police department directly." Would love to see that happen. How does that I don't know if a police department would pay. Yeah, I'm I'm really interested. I've I've never seen how that works or not.

[00:36:24]H I know in some other cases where where they have been denied where they where they've not got their money back and the owners have had to pay. Uh SW said half the home looks toothpicks. This is a different home. This is not the one from Kern County. This was just an example.

[00:36:43]The one from Kern County looks pretty pretty new. Uh if we go back to that video, if we go overhead, look, these are all pretty nice homes. Like this looks like a nice uh building. What do you call it? Like a housing estate that you know was built with new homes. It looks pretty nice. What is it? The 1700 block of Brian Avenue. What did I tell you about Brian's? Every time it's all Brian. Brian's are bad news. Sorry if we have any Brian's in the chat, but Brian's just seem to be bad news for some reason. Especially in true crime.

[00:37:20]It's like anytime we have something associated with the name, it's bad news.

[00:37:24]Um, let's go out there. Let's go have a look at the uh property.

[00:37:39]I wonder how it is if it's okay today.

[00:37:43]Uh, the last update we have, unfortunately, was like a year ago. We don't have a new uh a new sort of update for this year. Last one was February 2025. So, it's probably when he still lived there. This is probably his car.

[00:37:59]This is probably the guy's car that died. So, it looks like a fairly nice neighborhood.

[00:38:08]When do you guys think this was built?

[00:38:10]1990s?

[00:38:12]I would think either late 80s or 1990s.

[00:38:17]That would be my guess of when these were built.

[00:38:21]What do you guys reckon? 19 1990s or 1980s?

[00:38:27]I think it might be the 80s, just judging by the type of brick work and maybe even earlier. Maybe the 1970s.

[00:38:39]Like the thing that always tells me how old an area is is the road. When you look at the road, you go, "Okay, it was built quite a while ago." Cuz look at the road. It doesn't look like it's in good condition, and this takes like decades for it to happen. So maybe the 1970s, maybe I was a couple of decades off, but I mean, it would have been a it would have been like a building uh planning estate at some point. At some point, you would have come out here and probably bought a a home off the plan or something like that. and you would have uh probably had to wait for it to be built. When that happened in what year, I'm not sure, but probably a few decades ago. But it's they're probably worth quite a bit of money. I don't know how much these homes are, but they would not be cheap.

[00:39:30]Anywhere in California is not cheap, guys. Especially with blocks that are what they call like a quarter acre block. It's very expensive, but it's a nice part of Cali. Beautiful.

[00:39:45]Uh, yeah. So, he was up in this corner.

[00:39:47]Where's his home?

[00:39:53]Are we in the same Yeah, we're in the same thing.

[00:39:57]So, that was his home here. This was the one where where they fired on it and they were like right in this back area.

[00:40:04]So, that's that fence line where you see him. He got crushed against the fence.

[00:40:09]Their neighbors are behind here. How they got in there, I got no idea.

[00:40:15]How they did that.

[00:40:19]Very lucky. So there there's the actual street for it.

[00:40:29]Um Marlene said the trees are mature.

[00:40:33]1970.

[00:40:35]Yeah, I think you might be right.

[00:40:37]Something like that. 1970. 1980s there was a lot of new building in in Cali during that era. There was a ton of new development and homes. So, you might be right. Pretty neighborhood. It's a shame that they had to have this uh this crime happen. Pretty place. No idea how much a home here costs, though. Looks like they got more room for homes. There's a giant paddic here that no one has done anything with. It's like all the homes just stopped. They're like, "Oh, that'll do. No more homes." That's weird. Here, I'm going to look it up. Can we buy a home in that street?

[00:41:19]What would it cost? We're turning into the Daily Mail. How much does this home cost that that had something happen to it? You guys know that every time you read the Daily Mail, they're always like, "This person in a $250,000 home every time." Uh, all right. Let's carve homes for sale.

[00:41:51]Yeah, we'll go to a different home.

[00:41:52]There's another home nearby.

[00:41:56]How much How much How much could I buy it for?

[00:42:01]$350,000.

[00:42:05]for a similar home probably built at a similar time frame.

[00:42:13]Here's a here's an example. So, yeah, a similar home, two twocar garage, probably two or three bedrooms in one bathroom. Is that what it says? Let me have a look.

[00:42:25]Quite old on the inside. This thing hasn't been renovated. Actually, this might be older. This looks like 1960s, not 1980s. This is quite old, this one.

[00:42:35]Uh, but they're asking $360,000 for it and it's just down the road. It's on uh Median Avenue. So, it's just just around the corner. $360,000 and it needs a lot of work. You're going to have to renovate this entire thing.

[00:42:55]It is very very rundown. Uh, so I don't believe this one was built in the same time period.

[00:43:02]I don't think so. Let's have a look.

[00:43:07]Let me try Red Fin and see if we can find a different one. Yeah. Okay. So, there's another one nearby um on West Henderson Avenue in Porterville, not too far away. And the price guide is 290,000 to 350,000.

[00:43:26]Look, in California, it's not that bad.

[00:43:31]They're saying you can get it for about 300 if you negotiate with the owner.

[00:43:36]Again, quite run down actually. Quite a lot of rundown homes. A lot of homes that need a lot of work here. Here's a here's this home.

[00:43:48]This is another one nearby. I think this is older. These are older than the ones we're looking at.

[00:43:54]But yeah, 350,000 for that.

[00:43:59]Cheap. Shall we buy it, Danny? Should we buy it? I'll move to Cali.

[00:44:04]You know, I'll move to California.

[00:44:08]If I move to the US, I am not moving to LA like every other bloody influencer on the planet. I I don't want to live in LA. As much as I love California, I would never want to live in LA. It is just too busy for paying too many people. I think I would like to go and live in the Midwest. I'd like to go live in Kansas. And everyone's like, "Ping, you're mental. Why would you want to live in the Midwest?" And I'm like, "Because it's awesome because you get all these beautiful countryside.

[00:44:41]It's so pretty out there. It's um less people and stuff. I I do not want to live in California." Uh Danny said cheap. Yeah. I mean, $350,000.

[00:44:55]I mean, needs a lot of work, guys. you there's no way you can just go live here. You're going to have to renovate it that like I I they're not they don't have the inside photos here, but they had some on another page. It's really run down on the inside. You need like new carpet, paint, kitchen needs a new kitchen. It looks like the bathroom may need a renovation, too. I mean, as a starter home, if you wanted to put some money like buy it and maybe do that, you could do that. me, you know, put your work into it over a number of years and do something like that.

[00:45:31]D Andrew said, "Calor is full of homeless. That's why I'm moving to Kansas."

[00:45:38]Kayla said, "Ping loves tornadoes also."

[00:45:40]Yeah. Uh, Warner still said, "We're moving to South Dakota." Ping, are you really Are you really going? Are you Are you moving from I don't want to give out where you live, but I know where you live. Are you really going to go?

[00:45:54]Are you joking or is this like a pipe dream? I hope you are cuz like Yeah, South Dakota is somewhere I would live.

[00:46:01]I'd live in South Dakota. Uh South Dakota is so awesome. Couldn't do any work there. I don't even know if they have good internet there, but I love South Dakota. So, so beautiful. You are?

[00:46:14]You really are going? Oh my god, it's beautiful out there. I love South Dakota. Actually, that brings me on to a new topic.

[00:46:24]There's a new documentary out this week called In the Eyes of the Stormchasers.

[00:46:31]Now, if you ever watch In the Eye of that is normally like they show different storms and hurricanes and stuff like that, but this new series is about stormchasers who go and chase the thunderstorms and the tornadoes and uh and it has Reed Timmer in it. If you don't know who Reed Timmer is, then this conversation is probably not for you.

[00:46:53]Uh, but yeah, new new series. And the first one they did was a massive tornado in South Dakota. It was one in South Dakota. This beautiful uh huge freaking tornado.

[00:47:08]I'll see if I can take a screenshot of it. This here, I'll take a screenshot.

[00:47:12]There we go.

[00:47:14]So, if you haven't watched it yet, go and watch it. It's uh not I think it's on NBC. Go check it out. Or Discovery.

[00:47:20]I'm not sure which one. Here's a screenshot from the opening of it.

[00:47:26]This was in South Dakota last last year, I'm pretty sure. Look at that thing. Uh beautiful drone footage. So, go watch it. It's out now. I think episode one premiered the other day. And um yeah, really interesting.

[00:47:43]Wil said, "The sky there is huge." Yeah, you can see forever. That's why I'd like to live there. I'd like to live there.

[00:47:49]Uh, ma'am be said, "I lived in Martin, South Dakota on the Rosebud Reservation as a child. Would you go back or do you like where you live now?" Let me know if you'd ever head back to uh the Dakotas.

[00:48:04]Uh, Man said, "A tornado came through the town, but we were gone for the weekend." Good timing to be gone. Good timing. So, yeah. Head head and watch that. I'll look it up for you.

[00:48:15]I >> Stormchasers. What channel is this?

[00:48:22]Tell me what channel it is. Oh, Discovery. It's on Disco. Wow, that I should have known that. I mean, if Reed Timmer is on a tornado show, most likely it's on Discovery. Uh, so yeah, that's not abnormal at all because he, if you don't know the history on Reed Timmer, he was on the original Stormchasing show back almost 20 years ago now on Stormchasers back when that was their show on the Discovery Channel back in like 09, 010, 2008.

[00:48:59]And um so finally after 20 years they've sort of rebirthed Stormchasers into this new uh new show which is been begging for a new documentary on the storm season every year. So there you go. Go to Discovery.

[00:49:18]You can check it out. G said I saw a clip where they drive towards it and it sucks them in. I think it was in the Dominator so they would have been fine.

[00:49:26]That thing can withstand an EF4 tornado. Uh so yeah, go watch that.

[00:49:32]That's from South Dakota. Uh all right, what else have we got? We did our shooting. I meant shooting. I mean we did our car attack and what else? Ah an update on on what more California. We got a lot of California tonight. What's going on on this Memorial Day long weekend? Uh there is some there is some updates on the giant tank of chemicals that wants to go kaboom. Now Governor Nuome is saying that they are talking to experts around the country to try and find a solution. They don't know what they're going to do yet, but they're trying to find some other way of not making it go kaboom. That's what they're worried about. They reckon it they reckon since yesterday.

[00:50:27]The yesterday the temperature was about in the middle 70s. It is now almost tipping 100° and apparently it just keeps rising.

[00:50:37]They reckon it will fail. They reckon it's going to eventually just be like there's nothing they can do. So, they tried to call it and then this morning they actually went in there in person and checked the gauge, the temperature gauge, and they realized that they were wrong about how cold it was. They thought it was about 20° cooler and it wasn't. It was actually almost tipping 100° and they're like basically they're trying to find some solution to I don't know what they could do. He didn't explain what they might do. He just said they are talking to experts around the country trying to find a solution. But apparently no one's no one has seen this type of thing before and they've never made a solution to it before. So they don't know. There's no out ofthe-box idea that they can just use.

[00:51:37]Now I'm going to take you to ABC7. I'm going to give you an update on it. But, uh, that's what they're saying so far is that they just not sure what they can do about it. Uh, where's our update?

[00:51:54]Yeah. 3 hours ago.

[00:52:00]Yep.

[00:52:02]Crisis in Garden Grove. As we speak, authorities say the toxic tank at the GKN aerospace facility is still on path to imminent failure. Right now, officials are still saying it's likely to either spill thousands of gallons of the highly toxic chemical or explode.

[00:52:19]50,000 people have now been ordered to evacuate for their own safety. This map shows the evacuation zone, which includes the west side of Garden Grove, the entire Stanton community, and small parts of West Anaheim and Cyprus. We want to take you live out there to the scene. This is a live look at the tank from Air7. You may notice that shot is a bit farther away.

[00:52:41]>> Very clicky. Very clicky. I'll take you to a different one because I don't I don't want to listen to clickiness.

[00:52:48]Yeah. I'll take you to KTLA.

[00:52:50]>> Tonight, tens of thousands of surrounding residents living near the industrial sites of Garden Grove have been evacuated from the potential blast zone.

[00:52:58]>> Yeah. Authorities say this chemical poses severe health risk to people and animals in the area as well. We've got team coverage of this ongoing crisis.

[00:53:06]Lindseay Pena on the ground for us speaking to the evacuees.

[00:53:09]>> But first, we go to Chris Wol and Lo Salamos with the latest on the emergency there. Chris, >> Karine, and Rick. A dangerous threat to the community unfortunately and apparently is getting worse today.

[00:53:25]Government and public safety officials have been giving us updates, including talking about a potential blast zone here at their command post, which is set up at the Los Alamidos raceourse. These officials are preparing for a worstcase scenario.

[00:53:45]>> Our circles represent our blast zone. So if this tank fails and we have an explosion, these represent our blast zone. The innermost circle represents areas where we can expect severe structural damage and significant harm.

[00:54:00]The next ring out is our moderate blast damage. We would expect again structural damage and harm to those within that zone. And then our third layer is our light blast damage where we might see some structural damage but it would be a little bit more limited. As we move up to our oblong shapes, uh you have three represented. Uh our red up here indicates areas of flammability where we could have fire or flash fire in those zones. Beyond that, you'll see an orange oblong that represents areas that are immediately dangerous to life and health where it would cause injury if anybody inhale in inhales or is impacted by the product in question. And then the >> Is this reminding anyone of a movie that we all watched when we were young?

[00:54:52]Does any does this remind you of Deep Impact? Because this is basically the opening scene of Deep Impact.

[00:55:02]>> Yeah, >> I'm not I'm not kidding. This is basically like the first 15 minutes of that movie from the 90s that we might if you're my age that we all grew up with.

[00:55:15]This is basically Deep Impact. They're like to They're like, "Ah, you know, if you're in this circle, you're you're pretty screwed. You're probably going to die. You're probably going to turn to some sort of like polymer plastic. We may have to drill you out of it. Yeah, you're probably you're probably pretty screwed. You You should probably leave.

[00:55:35]Uh, it is basically Deep Impact, but on Earth, there is no asteroid. We have a giant tank that wants to explode, apparently. not good for the people of garden uh garden grove.

[00:55:49]Yellow is our non-hazardous zone which is our odor threshold. This product has a very low odor threshold and can be smelt very easily. So that's why that representation is very large but again it is non-hazardous at that level.

[00:56:03]>> Authorities go on to say the weather will affect the outcome of this crisis with regular wind shifts which are constantly being monitored. The material in question is a chemical called methylmethylacrylate or MMA, a toxic and highly flammable liquid used in the manufacturer of plastics for vehicle and aircraft components. The company is called GKN Aerospace. For some reason, Thursday, the chemical became overheated inside a large tank which began releasing vapors.

[00:56:37]And that tank is located near two other storage tanks. Authorities believe the large tank is either going to crack open and leak thousands of gallons of toxic materials or explode. Roughly 40,000 people are now under evacuation orders in Garden Grove and surrounding areas.

[00:56:57]Authorities also say the temperature inside the tank is rising and they're seeking help from scientists and experts around the country. MMA does have a very strong fruity odor and smelling it doesn't mean that it will have health impacts. We actually do know that when you smell it, you don't typically have symptoms and when you actually measure the levels in the air, it doesn't mean it's dangerous. So, I know that there is a segment here that shows yellow that that's an area where you might smell it if if it if the chemical actually reacts in a way that it ends up with having vapors in the air.

[00:57:34]Governor Nuome has declared a state of emergency for Orange County. This will allow all kinds of resources throughout California to pour into the danger zone. Right now, let's go up to Sky 5 for a live look overhead. Also developing today, Representative Derek Tran of California is urging Governor Nuome to appeal to President Trump for a federal disaster declaration. This would activate a number of federal resources, including assets from the Environmental Protection Agency and also FEMA. Calling the situation horrific, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer has just announced an investigation into GKN Aerospace and its handling of the overheated chemical tank. That includes, the DA says, opening a hotline for employees who may have critical information. Speaking of All right. Hey, Mrs. Ping just left. She left to go do something in the laundry.

[00:58:44]This has been my only opportunity so far to talk about this.

[00:58:49]I want to take Mrs. being on holiday because she's been so ill for like a two two years now and we haven't really had a holiday, but we can't travel overseas.

[00:59:03]So, I want your best ideas of where we should go in Australia. So, we can't travel overseas. Uh we can only go locally somewhere here. And um I want your best ideas of where we should go before she comes back. All right. All right. Let's get back to the tank that wants to go kaboom.

[00:59:26]If I can get back to it. If I can find it. Yeah, she just left. And I was like, I have to tell you about this. All right, let's go back.

[00:59:37]Did we just lose our video?

[00:59:40]Yeah. GKN Aerospace. The company just released a statement. quote, "We sincerely apologize for the significant disruption to the many local residents and businesses who have had to be evacuated. We are working tirelessly with all relevant experts to resolve this situation as safely as possible and in a timely manner. We will have updates for you throughout the evening. For now, reporting live in Los Alamidos, I'm Chris Wolf, KTLA 5 News." All right, Wolfie, we thank you for that.

[01:00:14]Evacuation shelters, as you might expect, just overwhelmed right now. As Chris mentioned, tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes.

[01:00:22]>> New evacuation centers.

[01:00:26]Yeah, I was seeing this before that they opened up one evacuation center last night, but it filled up so quickly they didn't have anywhere else to send people and they've been trying to find like several new pe uh new places to um uh like to to send people because they can't go home right now until something happens with that tank. They can't go back to their homes. It's um yeah, they literally it's that that's it for them because they're saying this explosion uh 7,000 gallons of this material and who knows like you saw the photo of the tank, right? Let's go back. Where's our tank >> under of No, not that one. Where's the view? All right. Here you got three of them.

[01:01:19]What do you think the chances are that if one goes, all three will go? Because you're going to get like a chain reaction and if one goes bang, you're probably going to blow up the other two as well. That's what they haven't told you yet. So, I don't know why they haven't really mentioned that, but yeah, if you lose one to an explosive event, you're probably going to lose all of them. And uh yeah, 7,000 gallons of this chemical MMA Um, Gayla said, "What about somewhere more rural to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city?" Yeah, we were thinking like down the coast maybe. Um, I don't know if we want to go tropical.

[01:02:00]Hold on, I got something in my eye. Um, I don't know if we want to go somewhere tropical or um I don't know, somewhere somewhere like that, I think. Um, oh man, what did I do?

[01:02:16]Oh, I made it worse. You know when you rub your eye and you make it worse. Uh, let me get back. So, I don't know. She wants to go see the whales. She wants to go see the animals cuz she likes animals.

[01:02:29]I'm just making sure she's not coming back. Um, she wants to go see the animals. So, suggestions on animals.

[01:02:36]Maybe like whales or penguins or We didn't get to see the Tasmanian tigers.

[01:02:43]Tigers. Devils. The tigers are dead.

[01:02:46]long dead. We didn't get to see them when when we went down to Tasmania before she had her surgery. So, I don't know you guys if you got any good ideas.

[01:02:57]Uh Kelly said the beach is always a great destination. Yeah, I mean we could look at getting an Airbnb or something because she's going to go for her third and hopefully final surgery in a in a few months time. So maybe want to do something before she has to do that cuz the recovery from that is like another another like half a year. So just want to make Yeah, maybe something like that before she has to go for her like final surgery.

[01:03:32]Um woman still hit a great place with a a really great hotel with a spa. Okay.

[01:03:38]It was sweet universe's idea for the spa. Okay.

[01:03:43]A place where you can hold the animals like a dolphin and you can just hug it.

[01:03:48]Be like, "Oh, what a lovely dolphin."

[01:03:53]I think I think she's going to come back in a minute. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, plus whale watching. So, hold the dolphin and watch the whales.

[01:04:05]I'm sure there's no I'm sure there's a place that'll let us do that.

[01:04:11]You can hold the whales. Hold the whales. Maybe we could do that.

[01:04:15]>> Overheated inside a large tank which began releasing vapors. And that >> is now at capacity as are several of the others because as you guys just said, there is such a high demand for these tens of thousands of residents that are now displaced from their homes. And joining me now are some of those residents. This is Andrea and her son, uh, who've graciously agreed to speak with us. They've actually set up camp here in the parking lot at the high school and they have eight cats with them right now. You were saying you had to leave in in a matter of minutes.

[01:04:48]>> Yes, we were told to evacuate less than 5 minutes. It was about five 5 10 minutes tops that we were supposed to leave.

[01:04:58]When you heard that that you had to get everything that really mattered to you and get out, just describe to people what that's like without having much notice.

[01:05:09]>> It's horrible. Like you think about what what's important to you. Family first and our pets. That was the only thing we matter to us was to get our cats out. My mom who's elderly out of the house and we we left with nine cats with us.

[01:05:28]You know, I feel bad for the uh all the people. They've had to basically pick up their lives and move over Memorial Day long weekend. So may like, you know, they probably had different plans than, hey, let's go to an RSPCA.

[01:05:46]Is that what it No, Red Cross. Red Cross like center and live there for a weekend. that I mean I'm sure they had probably other plans for their holiday weekend than to freaking do this. And I feel so sorry for all the people who live locally. Like look at that block.

[01:06:06]That's most of the people that they had to evacuate cuz they're not sure how big this kaboom might be. They're like, "Oh yeah, it's going to be pretty big." You know, one description I read was mega explosion.

[01:06:21]Not good. Not good. if that's how they're talking about it. G said in Melbourne you can feed the animals at a wildlife park. It may be part of I I'll look into it. I'll look into it. Uh sweet said I only have my one wacko there. That lady, man. She had like heaps of cats. Poor lady. Look at them all. She's got all her animals. One, two, three, four, five, six. She's got and they're stuck in like the carrier bags. Like it must be hot as hell. Uh I can't imagine having my cat in one of these carrier bags for any more than like an hour. They would be freaking out. So uh very very scary for people who live in Garden Grove in the um in the area. It's just ridiculous. And the fact they're like, "Oh, when is it going to happen?" They're like, "I don't know. At some point it'll it'll blow up when it when it blows up." Like they just don't have an idea.

[01:07:20]They keep trying to cool it. We're so lucky it wasn't this. I think this is a water tank. This big one here. I think that's probably most likely for water.

[01:07:29]It's these silver ones on the backside here that you that they're worried about. Yeah. What's with all the um what's with all the RVs in the footage?

[01:07:38]You can I don't know if we can see it on this one. Uh where's the helicopter footage?

[01:07:46]Look, there's all these RVs. I don't know what they're there for, but there's there's a whole line of all these old uh mobile homes or like a Yeah.

[01:07:57]recreational vehicle. There's tons of them all lined up next to the uh tanks.

[01:08:03]Who owns them? Why are they there? Don't know.

[01:08:08]Andrew said it's only 20 20 miles from you. What's the airport nearby? Let's have a look. Garden Garden Road la.

[01:08:21]What is the There's like an airport. You saw it on the map. What airport is that?

[01:08:25]That's not That's not LAX, right?

[01:08:29]It's probably not LAX is what what I'm thinking.

[01:08:34]Where is that? I saw it on the thing.

[01:08:38]Oh, here. What airport is this?

[01:08:47]It doesn't want to want to tell me what airport this is.

[01:08:55]I'm not sure here. There's an airport like right here. I'm I'm sure this is an airport, right? It's not a speedway.

[01:09:05]Los Alamidos Army Airfield. Okay.

[01:09:12]TWWR the 12th of the 3rd of the 12th 1985.

[01:09:21]So the 3rd of December 1985 they opened it. Ah I'm probably pronouncing that name right. Is it Amatoss? You guys can tell me. Locals can tell me how to pronounce that name. Uh so this is the chemical area right here.

[01:09:41]And there's all the RVs. Look at Look how many there are. It's amazing. Why is there so many?

[01:09:48]Who owns them all?

[01:09:51]Maybe it's storage. Like do you think it's somewhere where like people who don't have storage in LA can like park their RV when they're not using them?

[01:10:02]Wonder if that's what it is. like you can rent it and then park your RV there when you know when you're not going on a trip or something cuz that's what it looks like. It looks like a car park.

[01:10:14]There's no factory here. Like there's no like uh RV repair company or something like that. At least not that we can see.

[01:10:23]And there's just heaps of them. Like thousand like 150 of them. I was going to say thousands, but I don't think there is. Look, they just keep going.

[01:10:32]Never seen so many RVs in Oh my god, it keeps going. Look, more of them. It's got to be parking for like people's RVs.

[01:10:41]No, it's a company. Trails and RV and boat storage. Okay, it is. Yeah, it's a storage facility for RVs. Pretty cool. I didn't know there was even such a thing where you could rent it, but it makes sense. A lot of people can't have an RV due to their like uh local uh I can't remember what they're called in America, but they have like a HOA.

[01:11:05]And a lot of HOAs don't allow you to have an RV parked out the front of your home. So, this is a solution to that, I guess. And then we can see the tanks.

[01:11:16]There's the tanks right there. And there's the Garden City chemical accident. And they reckon it might go Kaboom.

[01:11:26]So, if we zoom out a little bit, look, a lot of it, this side of it at least, it is mostly industrial, but it's this. I think it's this where they're worried. It's all these people that live right across the other side of the railway line.

[01:11:44]You know, look at these people like that live in these homes.

[01:11:48]They are in for a rough weekend worrying about what their homes might look like when they get back. You know, you don't you don't know what this explosion might do. Yeah. Look at the red line. This is where they're saying like if you're in this red line, you're impacted by the uh possibly by the explosion.

[01:12:13]It's a lot of homes, a lot of people.

[01:12:17]It's uh pretty sad.

[01:12:21]And then the investigation has to be why did this happen? Why did their tanks start superheating?

[01:12:30]And why did they start getting thermal runaway? What what went wrong? And why was there no like secondary system to help?

[01:12:41]Um Andrew said, "Garden Grove is not an affluent area." Really?

[01:12:49]I don't know about you, buddy, but when I was growing up, none of the people that I grew up with had a freaking pool in the backyard and a home that looked like this. Maybe it's different in America or something, but no one I grew up with had freaking ingground pools that look like this. If we were lucky, someone had an above ground pool and they were like the coolest kid in the neighborhood.

[01:13:14]I I mean actually I had I had a I had an above ground pool growing up uh for some of my life anyway. Yeah, everyone's got a pool. Look at these people. I don't know, buddy. I don't know if I believe you. I mean, I'm sure it's not like Beverly Hills or, you know, where the famous people live or whatever, but I'm sure it's not cheap to buy here. And it is industrial. Look, it's right near an industrial. Anytime you buy next to industrial, it's not like the most prime real estate. You buy next to an industrial area, it's probably going to be cheaper. But I don't know, everyone's got a pool in their freaking backyard. Like almost everyone, like every second home has a has a swimming pool.

[01:14:03]That one, that one, everyone except for these people.

[01:14:14]These look like converted mobile homes.

[01:14:17]Is that what these are? If anyone knows, are these converted mobile homes? That looks like like a trailer park type thing that Cuz you see, they all got that same elongated uh shape to them. That's at least that's what they look like to me. They look like those um those converted trailers.

[01:14:39]Okay, maybe that part of the town is not very affluent, but I don't know. Whoever lives over here, they're doing all right in life. I mean, I don't know how many of us live in a four bedroomedroom home like this, but if you do, well done.

[01:14:54]Well done.

[01:14:56]Um, yeah, cool neighborhood. I hope their homes are going to be okay because, um, that is pretty frightening that this thing might go kabang.

[01:15:12]Uh yeah, that I if I ever move to America, I will never live anywhere that has a HOA. There's too many horror stories from people. I've read so many horror stories from people who have a HOA and they're all up in your business and they're all like, "You didn't take your rubbish bin inside an hour before 5:00 p.m. on a Thursday." Like, I'd probably murder someone. I'd probably Ping would probably end up in jail. I'd probably end up murder murdering someone. I can't I don't like that. And I'd just be like I'd probably tell him to get effed. I'd be like, "F off. Tell me what to do." Uh Ruby said, "We had an above ground pool for our four kids." Yeah. I don't I didn't know anyone growing up that had an a below ground pool when I grew up. Never. I never knew anyone that had a like built-in pool.

[01:16:10]Uh Gayla said I would need to rent it out. I I would never live in a HOA.

[01:16:17]I mean, I get it's supposed to be for the benefit of everyone, but it seems like every time there is a HOA, it starts like on good ideas and then it just devolves into someone who thinks they control everyone and they just end up in wars and fines and going to the council and getting like a court order or something. It just just never works out. You're better off paying a company to do it. like you can buy you can pay companies to do your sort of HOA type stuff if you need to.

[01:16:49]Um so yeah, there we go. There's the area. And what did they say that that blast radius that blast radius is this block?

[01:16:58]Why do they think it's going to go this way?

[01:17:02]Because I I mean I guess it's interesting why this residential block is more like there's not over here. You see how it's not like further over here. Maybe this is a different county.

[01:17:19]Could be. But they seem to be more worried about the people who live over here.

[01:17:25]Uh possibly maybe the winds maybe the winds right now are pushing like if it did blow maybe it automatically would get pushed over onto this uh residential site over here. Uh which could which is considered actually West Garden Grove, not normal Garden Grove. Uh so yeah, there you go. Poor people in LA having a really horrible long weekend.

[01:17:55]I don't know where we go from here. What if they can't find a solution to actually like the only thing Pink could come up with was like if you covered it in a container that is larger than the tanks and then you filled it with some sort of water to dampen the explosion or if it cracked, then at least you could have something that would contain it and then you would maybe get out of this. Okay.

[01:18:22]The problem is finding something that is that large that you could fit over it and then still do work on it without risking the lives of like 20 workmen to to do it.

[01:18:37]I hope the scientists are out, you know, they're probably going to the uh JPL and uh you know, Caltech and they're probably talking to all those scientists going, "Help us find us a way to um mitigate the the the chemical because I think that's what they they're worried about." And uh hopefully the smartest minds in these universities might be able to help. Uh, Andrew said it's Orange County. It's the OC California. You guys remember that show from like the early 2000s. Hey Bengal, how are you? Body corpse are the exact same thing. They are. They are. They are. I agree with you. We have Body Corpse in Australia. Very similar to a HOA. Uh, Ruby said, "We have a HOA. They haven't bothered us, but I want to move out of the city I'm in. Maybe you can move to the country and enjoy your life.

[01:19:39]Gail said they can't get close enough to cover it, but also the fumes would build up under the cover.

[01:19:46]Well, I'm out of ideas and they don't pay me enough to to figure out anymore.

[01:19:51]But that's the only thing I could think of for an explosion would be to dampen that uh blast somehow. Like you would probably you would probably still destroy that coating or cover, but at least it would dampen it and you wouldn't probably affect so many people.

[01:20:07]But how do you do that? That is probably the answer that I don't have for you.

[01:20:12]It's I got no idea how you would even find something that large to cover it.

[01:20:19]So that's probably probably not the solution they're going to do. Uh where where are we? We got lost. All right, we're up here.

[01:20:28]Yeah. I mean, it's a pretty big area. Is it on a Is it on a tray?

[01:20:33]Is that what that is? A tray?

[01:20:36]Maybe they could cover it. See how it's got metal underneath it?

[01:20:42]You maybe that is a a valid idea because it does have a bottom piece, which means you don't need to The problem with my other idea is what I was talking about is you would have to somehow cover the underneath of it. But if they've already got a tray on it, I don't know. It It is a solution.

[01:21:00]I'm not sure how well it would work, but it's better than nothing. Yeah. Let's see if we can get closer to it. What's the street address? One 1 2 3 22.

[01:21:11]Uh 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 2.

[01:21:24]Can we get underneath an underneath view?

[01:21:33]All right, let me see if we can get like a side view cuz I just want to have a look at the tanks.

[01:21:40]Uh, where is it?

[01:21:45]Unfortunately, I don't think there's a side street that we're going to be able to get a a good enough view.

[01:21:58]Yeah, I'll take you with me.

[01:22:01]But there's like no view here. It's like down here.

[01:22:07]It's down the back of this. Now, there it is right there. You can see the the tank, but we can't get in there. There's a rail line that goes through, and there is no road behind there that we can uh get to on the maps. So, unfortunately, I can't take you out there.

[01:22:27]That's the closest we can get, unfortunately. Uh yeah, can't go into that car park either. But uh yeah, there's your other view.

[01:22:40]Uh Andrew said, "Wouldn't it cause a huge fire?"

[01:22:44]It's going it's going to do that anyway.

[01:22:47]If if this thing exploded, it's going to cause a huge fireball anyway. So, it's trying to fix that or mitigate that. Gay said, "Can they not fix a valve slashpipe?" That's not the problem. The problem is that they they already had the safety valve go off.

[01:23:07]That happened yesterday. So, the temperature rose and then the safety valve went off and it released more of that vapor. That's not really the problem, I don't think. I think the problem is there's some defect where they can't control that thermal runaway anymore and it's eventually just going to go bang or it's going to crack the tank. I just not sure which one they think is going to happen. I think they think one or the other. I don't think they they're married to either idea. But yeah, it's called MMA methyl methylryate.

[01:23:42]What is it used for? Plastic plastic manufacturer. Polymer manufacturer.

[01:23:50]Let's have a look. What do you do with it?

[01:23:56]So, it's it's almost like the stuff they make bulletproof material out of. almost not quite the same.

[01:24:09]Uh what do you Yeah. What do you do with it? Uses. What do they do with it? They say it is the manufacturer of polymethyl methylacryate acrylic plastics. PMMA.

[01:24:23]So that's what they use it to make.

[01:24:25]PMMA. I know what that is. That's a type of plastic. We have used that in I've used Pmama before in different things.

[01:24:36]There's also a drug called PMA and PMMA, but that's a different it's something else. It's it's not this that's a different type of chemical.

[01:24:46]That's for uh that's for something else.

[01:24:49]That's for people are going out to see all the lasers and the music.

[01:24:54]Let's go. So, apparently it looks like this. They use it often to make like different types of acrylic uh artwork and statues and windows and probably for space and things like it looks like this. This is PMMA.

[01:25:11]So, this is the type of uh material it ends up making.

[01:25:18]Danny said, "Have they had issues before?" Actually, let's have a look.

[01:25:21]The company's called I want to know if they've had any compliance issues at this site in the past. Let's have a look. What is the company called again? N uh KN uh GKN Aerospace.

[01:25:41]GKN Aerospace Record.

[01:25:55]Huh? Is that is that right?

[01:25:59]Interesting.

[01:26:01]Apparently, uh GKN Aerospace in the Garden Grove facility has a mixed compliance record primarily marred by severe environmental infractions. Oh, you you don't say. uh the site design and manufacturer of military jet canopies and aviation windows. So that's what they do.

[01:26:25]In 2011, they settle they settled an environmental settlement. They paid nearly $1 million $1 million to settle infractions with South Coast Air Quality Management District. The violations included operating equipment without permits and failing to maintain required emissions records for volatile organic compounds.

[01:26:49]Well, if we find out in like 15 years that there's a cluster of people with cancer in that in that uh residential area nearby, you'll know why. I'm sorry I said 2011.

[01:27:02]That was in 2021, about 5 years ago. And then in between 2018 and 2021, they had an OSHA violation there. They had multiple OSHA inspections resulting in citations for failing to adequately adequately inspect and maintain specific industrial machinery and equipment.

[01:27:28]Oh, you don't say.

[01:27:30]Uh, that might be why we're all here today because they seem to have a record of not doing the right thing.

[01:27:40]Interesting that apparently one of the things they've been accused of is not maintaining their equipment.

[01:27:49]Interesting. Uh, so this this place has got multiple uh violations in the past. that that that might be why we're all here today.

[01:28:01]So, yeah, it's interesting though that one of them is for not not fixing equipment and not maintaining it. And then we have these tanks, two of them that died almost within days of each other. And they're all like, "Oh, we don't know how it happened. Oh my god, this thing's going to blow up and hurt like half the neighborhood. Oh, who who could have seen that coming?"

[01:28:26]So, apparently, let's have a look. What was the last thing they talked about on this newscast?

[01:28:36]Now, let's go to KTLA. Let's see if they did they put up an update.

[01:28:43]Let's have a look.

[01:28:49]Centers are now opening up to accommodate the rush in demand. Our Lindsay Pena is live at one evacuation center in La Palma with the latest there. Lindsay notice it's hor. Uh, it's the same lady we saw before. We don't want that. Uh, let me check ABC7.

[01:29:15]No update from Oh, no. No, that's a different update. that no nothing from ABC7 recently. Um they yeah basically nothing. They're basically saying what everyone else is saying that they're working on it. We'll see what happens. Hopefully everyone's going to be all right. That's basically it. So I don't have too much more for you. And um yeah, let me let me sort of tell you what they said yesterday about the fail or blow up thing.

[01:29:51]>> This is Eyewitness News with live breaking news.

[01:29:56]>> Good afternoon. I'm Colleen Sullivan. We continue to follow breaking news in Garden Grove. A live look from Air 7. An evacuation zone is expanded. The stakes have become dire a day after a chemical leak at the GKN aerospace facility. The leak happened yesterday afternoon when a valve overheated on a 34,000galon tank containing a liquid used to make acrylic plastics. The Orange County Fire Authority now says there are only two ways this situation could possibly unfold and neither of them are good.

[01:30:26]>> One, the tank fails and spills a total of about 6 to 7,000 gallons of very bad chemicals into the parking lot in that area. or two, the tank goes into a thermal runaway and blows up.

[01:30:43]>> Eyewitness News reporter Bianca Bono is live in Garden Grove with more on >> Do you remember the same thing happened at Dowo Chemical?

[01:30:57]I don't remember that one, but I remember the we did a story last year about an explosion that happened at a uh at a weapons manufacturing plant in Tennessee. Was it Tennessee?

[01:31:11]And it annihilated the entire site, killing like everyone that was there. Do you guys remember this one that we did a few months ago? Just something went kaboom and just wiped out the entire like everyone, all the workers. And then they never found anything. They didn't find any human remains.

[01:31:30]They didn't find any people. Just disintegrated.

[01:31:34]I I've ne like that's I mean I guess that's how explosions work, but isn't that horrible for the families? Like they just never found anything. I I'll look it up. Um uh back in October of last year, 16 people killed in Hickman County.

[01:32:04]Did they ever give us a reason of what went wrong? I remember they said we were eventually going to get a report into it, but I don't remember if they ever gave us anything.

[01:32:16]I'm just having a quick look.

[01:32:19]That was this one. The two the 2025 Tennessee manu manufacturing plant explosion killed 16 people and injured seven. Uh let's have a look.

[01:32:36]Did they end up finding anyone? I think no.

[01:32:45]Ah, here they're saying here that they the ATF determined the explosion was a chain reaction that began on the ground floor of the facility. The facility was making cast boosters for commercial mining. The explosive mixture usually includes TNT, RDX or cyclonite.

[01:33:07]The process is extremely dangerous as particles that are sensitive to heat, friction, and electrostatic discharge become airborne. The components were mixed in kettles on the mezzine level of the AES building. The mixture was pumped to heating kettles on the main floor. It would then be packed by hand into cardboard tubes and left to cool. The main floor also contained a loading dock where other explosives were stored awaiting shipment. The ATF found that the explosion occurred in the heating kettles on the main floor and detonated uh additional explosive products on the main floor of the building. Wow.

[01:33:48]And they said more than 24,000 lbs of explosives detonated.

[01:33:53]That's a huge explosion. 24,000 lb of like cyclonite. Oh, that is a that is probably one of the largest explosions in many years of history in the US. Uh, and they say a a seismological study conducted by researchers from LAN reported an explosive yield of 11.8 tons of TNT equivalent.

[01:34:21]That's just like crazy numbers. 11.8 tons of TNT equivalent. Wow.

[01:34:28]uh consistent with ATF in inventory reports of between 11 and 13 tons of um material. Wow.

[01:34:41]Uh I'm I think we're waiting on a more indepth ATF report. They're waiting on one that actually like sort of goes through everything, but so far the fact that it only happened in in October last year, we still don't have it. I don't think I think we're still waiting on it.

[01:35:02]That That is brutal.

[01:35:04]Yeah. I'm going to try to take you to some of the If you never watched this last year, I'll take you to some original reporting of when it happened cuz it was mental that day.

[01:35:16]Uh let's see.

[01:35:20]Yeah, I'll take you out to the helicopter shot.

[01:35:25]>> There was not much left. This was directly after. And this is basically what they found when they came onto the uh the site. Just smoldering rubble, blown up crap everywhere. It even destroyed the cars in the car park.

[01:35:40]Destroyed that car. There was a whole building here and it's just gone. Just nothing left. And there's no people.

[01:35:48]Like where are the people?

[01:35:52]Like there at one point there were actually people that were here.

[01:35:56]And there you go. This was a building here. This ramp was like leading into the facility. So, it led into it. And there's just just gone, evaporated.

[01:36:10]And uh that's what happens when a chain reaction goes off. So hopefully that's not what happens here. And I'm not saying that the tank that we're looking at in California is anything like 11 tons of TNT. It's not. But uh it it's still pretty It's still a lot of chemical. It's not 11 tons of chemical though.

[01:36:36]This was like the worst case scenario.

[01:36:39]This was like a very tragic event that this is like where your where your partner goes to work one day and a serious industrial accident happens and you never get to say goodbye. You never get to talk to them ever again. They just don't come back. And that is, you know, I feel for all the families like that that must be extremely hard to deal with that you can't bury them. you can't really have a funeral. There's nothing left. Uh they don't give you anything because there isn't anything to give you back. And you know that must be very hard. That must be very akin to being like lost at sea or you know in some sort of very remote area and you pass away something like that. So yeah, 16 families where they were affected by this and uh so yeah, let's hope that nothing like this happens in California.

[01:37:39]Sweet said, I totally don't remember that. Yeah, it was we we covered it on the channel at the time and it was uh probably one of the most crazy things I think we've covered in the last 12 months. And we've covered a lot of uh weird things. Let's see. Was there a a report? US Chemical Safety and Hazard Board. What is this?

[01:38:03]They did put a final report out. All right.

[01:38:09]Is this for this plant? Yeah. Let's have a look.

[01:38:16]Is this this one? Yeah, this is it.

[01:38:19]Yeah, that's what it looked like, guys.

[01:38:21]There was this whole plant here with that car park and that's what it looked like after the explosion.

[01:38:29]That's what it looked like after the explosion.

[01:38:33]That's what it looked like beforehand.

[01:38:34]Like there was a whole thing there.

[01:38:36]There was like a manufacturing thing. It was multiple levels. It was quite huge.

[01:38:41]It was like a a massive factory. And that was what was left. Basically nothing. Just debris.

[01:38:51]So that's that's pretty dramatic. Uh so what did they find?

[01:38:58]Yeah. They talk about how there's several buildings at the muan site and they say they used to used to produce explosives. Yes, we know that.

[01:39:11]And uh they talk about the different types of um chemicals and explosives that they have on site.

[01:39:19]What else?

[01:39:21]Yeah, we don't want to know about that.

[01:39:23]Ah, so these are what they reckon may have uh eventually gone. So these are what they were producing, these green things. And when you look in the photo, actually, actually, let me take you back to the uh the other one.

[01:39:37]They're all over the ground. Can you see them? There's all this green. These are those little uh canisters. They're all over the ground of this one. And they're saying that's what they were making on that day when everything went wrong.

[01:39:53]They were making those little green uh explosives and then something went wrong and it set off a chain reaction. So what are they saying here?

[01:40:07]There's the layout of the factory site.

[01:40:14]Ah there you go. So, this is what it looked like on the inside of that factory. Here's some of the raw material.

[01:40:21]And then they would use these kettles to heat it up and then pump it through. And then they'd fill up those little canisters. So, they'd make the uh mixture and then fill it up.

[01:40:34]There you go. So, they'd fill up the kettle, it would mix the uh stuff around, and then they would pump it up to these other kettles. I'm guessing.

[01:40:44]Oh, these kettles would go into the large B kettle and A kettle and then mix it. I'm guessing so.

[01:40:54]Oh, interesting. So, yeah, there you go.

[01:40:58]There's the way they made it. So, they put them on these sticks and they obviously pour it into the uh into the green thing and then they have a core and a charge in there so you can set them and blow them. and they would make them in the facility.

[01:41:16]There you go. There's one guy pouring the mixture by hand. Imagine if that's your job to set up all these things and basically pour TNT mixture into the tubes and then pack them and ship them.

[01:41:35]It's a It's a hell of a job.

[01:41:38]And what are they saying here?

[01:41:44]Ah, they were able to find some debris in the wreckage of like what was left.

[01:41:50]So, there was the kettle, the two different kettles, and there was another kettle here.

[01:41:56]And um yeah, I guess they can tell where the biggest hole in the ground is of where it started. So, right over here, I'm guessing they said there was 1,000 pounds of unexloded energetic material that was launched from the building. This explosive material was disposed of by burning it on site.

[01:42:22]And there's what the site looked like. A post incident photo of what what was left.

[01:42:30]And that's what that's after they cleaned it all up. That's they were left with basically a foundation and uh that was it.

[01:42:42]And there's your blast radius.

[01:42:47]Uh maps of buildings damaged by the incident. So it even damaged a building that was 3,000 ft away to about 2 and a half thousand feet away. That's the furthest one.

[01:43:01]Jeez. What a what an what an explosion.

[01:43:08]Oh wow. So there's the building right here. And then they said they found the kettle. The kettle that was full of that explosive material. They found it. It got launched all the way 700 ft across here and landed over the road somewhere in the forest.

[01:43:27]Uh that's that's insane. Yeah, you can actually see it in the photo. There's a big metal kettle on the ground there.

[01:43:38]Wow, what a what a explosion. Again, I tell you that this is not what's going to happen in California.

[01:43:46]Just just rejigging people's memory from one that happened uh in 2025.

[01:43:52]Not the same. Not going to be the same at all.

[01:43:57]Uh Sweet University, that looks freaking dangerous. I know. I wonder if normally is it normally stable to do that? I mean, I guess so. They did it for years and nothing happened. So, they basically pour it into the tube and then they let it cool and then they just take them off and pack them and then send them to the customer.

[01:44:21]Crazy to me. So, that's a mixture. It's often like TNT and some cyclonide and RDX or something like that. Depending on what they need and what is called for, they will just mix it up and then um basically do it. So they call it a PN core and they show you like the the pieces in it and how they uh how they do it. So I'm guessing it's so you can chain them together.

[01:44:52]Crazy.

[01:45:00]And yeah, that that's how the uh the operation worked with the different kettles. Kettles 1 to four and five and six. So, I'm guessing they would like drain it and then eventually they'd open up these taps to put it into the final kettle and then they mix it together.

[01:45:18]So, they add it probably in different stages. So they probably add like the first ingredient and then they probably add the second and they mix it together and they probably add like if they need a third and a fourth and then they pump it through and then they Yeah, basically go off and make the uh make those little green things.

[01:45:41]So yeah, cart booster is what it's called. A cart booster.

[01:45:49]Brutal. I did not know that they had brought out a more extensive um report on it. So there you go.

[01:45:58]Uh SW said me I'm not doing this job. I don't know. It's it's pretty mental.

[01:46:05]It's uh pretty hardcore. But look, that's not what's going to happen in California. So please don't take this and be like Ping said we're going to blow this place to smitherreens. No, that's probably not what's going to happen. But it's still a very serious uh incident. You know, I don't know what kind of equivalent to TNT that they're looking at, but it would still be a pretty hefty amount. Like you're talking, what did they say? How many lers or gallons was that drum?

[01:46:39]Let me see if I've got a thing here that tells us how many gallons it is.

[01:46:45]Uh 7,000 gallons.

[01:46:49]I don't know how how that uh like what the explosive equivalent of 7,000 gallons of this uh MMA is compared to um you know cyclonite, but I'm guessing it's probably not the same and not even close. But it it'll probably still cause a lot of damage.

[01:47:13]Uh Swimmer said this place is going skyhigh.

[01:47:17]Let's hope not, but you never know who's watching, my friend.

[01:47:25]Uh, so yeah, look, what's going to happen here, I really don't know, guys. We'll have to wait and see. But the fact that this this company GKN has had a very serious history with um not following guidelines and and not looking after their equipment, not putting the money into it.

[01:47:49]You know, maybe it was only a matter of time until something went seriously wrong. And I reckon that's if this does end up going kaboom, I think we'll find out that there's a long history that we don't know about about what this company has been doing incorrectly.

[01:48:08]The fact that they've already been they paid a $1 million fine to the government for air quality issues in Garden Grove because they were just letting off fumes. So, we'll see what happens with that in the future. All right, let's wind down for the night. Let's get out of here. It's almost 4. It's late.

[01:48:33]I've had a fun night with you guys. Did you guys enjoy the aliens last night? I hope you did. I had fun doing that. It was nice to do something a little bit different for once. We often don't do things like, I don't know, UFOs or UAPs or something like that. It was a It was a fun to It was fun to look at something different. Uh possibly cheaper than fixing it just to let it go up. Yeah.

[01:48:57]Just claim it on insurance. Hey, we didn't know. And then everyone else surrounding them who's going to lose their homes or something. Uh we'll have to wait and see. I hope they figure something out, a way to diffuse the situation.

[01:49:14]Right now they they haven't said whether they know of a way to do it or not.

[01:49:18]They're just saying that they are talking to different scientists around the country trying to figure it out. Oh, we have a new map here. This should this just came out.

[01:49:44]Okay. So, there's that map that that was on the video we watched before, but we couldn't see it.

[01:49:51]And they're saying that anyone out even to here could could be affected by the vapor of it. That's what this big yellow line is. That's the vapor. And then they say anyone in the red ring and out to here could be in the severe damage blast zone.

[01:50:12]And then a little further out, moderate damage and then light damage. So, where are we going to? Just past that street. Okay.

[01:50:26]So, they're saying down to Lson.

[01:50:29]If you're like anywhere down here, it could you you might be in like the uh severe damage anywhere down to Lamson. So, it might like wipe out this company, might even wipe out some of these homes down here.

[01:50:45]So, yeah, there it's um a pretty big pretty big area. They're looking at a pretty big space of um like the blast zone.

[01:50:58]There you go.

[01:51:01]I wish they would uh actually print this for us so we got a better copy. But that is the uh current map. That is where you're looking at there. So, I don't think it's going to be that massive, but it'll take out like the local area for sure. There's your blast zone that that they're trying to tell everyone about.

[01:51:25]We need the aliens to save us. Maybe the aliens can solve it, Sean. Yeah, maybe.

[01:51:31]They're smarter than we are. So, there's your blaster zone. Anyway, you know, these things all tend to happen while everyone is uh sleeping overnight. I hope that's not what's going to happen because then, you know, people could be harmed. But they haven't even sort of told us how long they expect to have these people uh evacuated from their home. Is it a day? Is it the weekend? Is it the whole Memorial Day weekend? Is it a week? Is it a month?

[01:52:05]Like, how long do they think that this tank can keep heating for? And how long do they think until it completely fails?

[01:52:14]And so far, they've not really given us a time frame for that. They've just sort of told us about the map. A month for the people. That'd be terrible. Imagine being kicked out of your home for a month. And you're like, I can't get back to my home because of this stupid tank.

[01:52:31]And I'm I'm basically being sent to go live in a uh in a uh what is it? A Red Cross evacuation center. It's awful for these people. Terrible. And I mean, I'm not sure what else they can do, but yeah, there you go. There's your tank. Uh we'll have to wait and see and see what see if I come back tomorrow and tell you anything is different. If it does go, if we get the live streams and they start popping up from ABC7 and uh all the different channels, KTLA and all that, and they start going, hey, they're sort of telling us it's about to happen, I will come back and we will watch it live and uh I will come and hang out with you guys and we'll see what happens. But right now, they're they're saying everything's okay. Uh let's see. Well, not okay, but that nothing's going on right now. Uh, let's see. Hey, I want to thank my friend. I don't know if you want to be named or not, but thank you for the donation, my friend. I appreciate it. It's very generous. She is a very generous lady. Helps the channel a lot, and it uh it means a lot.

[01:53:42]I hope you enjoy your trip, my friend.

[01:53:45]You're going to have to tell us more about your uh your move. You're going to have to tell us more about your move. Uh Gayla said, "Can I use foam spray from the airport?"

[01:53:56]I think they would have done that already if that was a option to them. I think they would have covered it in that, but so far they're just using water to try and decrease the heat and uh it's not working very well.

[01:54:13]Hey, I love you guys so much. It's been a fun Saturday night to sort of talk about these topics, including the one we had at the uh the beginning of the show, that Bearcat thing. That was one of the craziest um body cams I think we've watched in a while. The fact that this guy was, you know, they even had him on the infrared climbing out of a window to go hide under that tree and then fire at these officers as they were in that bearcat. And unfortunately, as we saw at the end of the video, the poor guy uh lost his life. For what reason?

[01:54:50]I don't think any of us are ever going to know. Uh for some reason, he felt like this was the only option he had left was to fight the authorities that had come to his home to evict him. And since he's not here to tell us what was going through his mind at the time, we we just may never know. And uh that's that's unfortunate in its own ways, but we have to remember that he shot and killed a deputy that was just trying to do their job. And that is a tragedy.

[01:55:23]That is a tragedy that this guy went to work on a routine call, was basically told, "Yeah, you'll be all right. You're just going to hand it hand this guy a bit of paperwork and go home."

[01:55:36]And unfortunately he there's his photo.

[01:55:40]He never went home to his family. So that's, you know, a tragedy. It really is. He should have been able to go home.

[01:55:49]And uh the fact he didn't is uh you know, it should never have happened.

[01:55:54]Should never have happened. So hey, have a great rest of your Memorial Day long weekend. Is is tomorrow a public holiday for you guys or no?

[01:56:06]Like, is Monday a day off or only Sunday? Wait, no, tomorrow is Sunday.

[01:56:11]But do you guys get Monday off too for the Memorial Day or is it only the the weekend? You guys are going to have to let Ping know cuz he doesn't know. So, I don't know whether it's a it is you get you guys get the Monday as well.

[01:56:28]Well, then I expect you all here on Monday night. No, I'm just kidding. But have a great I hope you're heading out to some of the festivals and um some of the events that are out there to honor the military. I hope that's what maybe you can use a little bit of your time over the weekend to go and do and uh show your respects for the people who fight for us, fight for us, the people who can't do what they do. And I I hope you're out there having a look at the parades and um you know remembering the fallen the ones who never came home like this guy not he's not a military guy but you know he never came home from work either and that's the same. So uh Gail said did you see the temperature in England? I did not.

[01:57:18]London.

[01:57:25]What?

[01:57:27]31 degrees in England. Oh, they're going to be complaining. It's going to be a level five heat alert in London. A level five heat alert. You better get your water bottles. You better stay home. You better winge on the Daily Mail that it's too hot. Oh, it's a heatwave, ladies and gentlemen. in London it's 31° it's 88° Fahrenheit those palms are not going to know what hit them uh often when it's like 30 30° in England like they just shut everything down and they're all like it's a level five heat alert that's like daily temperatures in Australia in summer that's like a nice day in summer down here when it gets to like 45 we're all like yeah it's a little too hot now 30. It's just like that's every day in England. They're like, "This is this is the worst case scenario. Shut down everything. Everyone stay home. Don't be don't go to your job. You might die walking to work."

[01:58:29]Like they're they're real overdramatic in England sometimes about the heat. So yeah, the heat wave. There's a heat wave in in in um in the UK this weekend. Bank holiday weekend. It's bank holiday, right? in England this weekend or was that last weekend?

[01:58:50]Can't remember if it was last weekend or this weekend, but they had a bank holiday weekend. Uh be nice if it was this weekend for the uh for the heat.

[01:58:58]They could go to the beach or something.

[01:59:01]Uh if they have beaches, I think they do in Brighton.

[01:59:06]Um I hope you have a great day. Enjoy your Oh, it is a heatwave. Holy moly. this week in London, 31 to on Sunday, 33 on Monday, 34 on Tuesday, and then it's like 26 on Wednesday, 30 on Thursday, 33 on Friday, and 32 on Saturday. Oh my god. Half the population of London is going to die. They they've never seen temperatures like this.

[01:59:38]They're going to be like, "Are we are we in the middle of the desert? Are we dying? Did we run out of water? No one has air conditioning.

[01:59:48]Uh, it's going to be a tough week in London.

[01:59:51]Yeah, there's no air conditioning in London. Yeah, you guys are going to be It's going to be brutal. Uh, 32 degrees every day in London.

[02:00:03]Uh, I hope you stay stay very cool.

[02:00:07]Yeah, you guys. So, uh, London suffers from a problem when they get a lot of heat that comes over from the continent and it gets pushed by low pressure systems and it gets dragged over from the Arab Arab nations and some of the uh, some of the other parts of Europe and they just bake Europe and they bake the UK. So, gets drawn up. So it gets dragged up from south and it gets drawn over Europe and then into the UK and they just get fried. It's um a different kind of heat. It's a different kind of heat. Often comes from like the desert areas in some of the other continents.

[02:00:46]Uh woman of steel said people die like flies when it gets hot here. You guys keep an eye on London this week. You guys keep an eye on the UK. It is going to get hot. The fact that that is not going to subside until next weekend.

[02:01:04]Um, brutal, my friends. I I hope everyone, Robert, our friend Robert who lives in the UK, I hope you're going to be okay.

[02:01:14]Um, keep cool everyone. Get a fan, get a lot of ice cubes, be nice and cool, and uh, be very careful in the heat. As much as I make fun of it, you guys do have to be a bit careful in the hot weather. Uh, it's 7° where I am. How How did you get all the cold weather? How did you get all the cold there? All right. Hey, we'll check in on it. We'll check in on London tomorrow and see how they're going.

[02:01:42]Gay said, "My dad put the bloody heating to 25 today." You know what you have to do with older people? you have to take away the thermostat control from them and just be like, "It doesn't exist. We don't have a thermostat and it's not adjustable. It's just the one temperature all the time." Uh because they will turn it up and down every 10 minutes. Uh Warner still said, "Take care everyone." Yes. Have a good night out there. Have a good night. I love you all. Bye. Bye-bye. All right. See you.

[02:02:10]Bye.
