The year on Bing maps doesn't indicate the year the images were taken, I'm not exactly sure what it is. Though I'm not even sure of the last time Bing updated their Birds Eye images, as they seem to have not been updated in Cincinnati for a while at least.

It's gone. Here's a streetview link to 2011: http://tinyurl.com/oaeh9bg. As you can see, it's still there, but move to 2014/15, it's gone: http://tinyurl.com/zpljpwp.

Seems that they replaced the Thunderbolt with a 2001.

Yes, as discussed earlier in the topic.

Well this sucks... That was my favorite Thunderbolt siren.



One thing I did notice though is that they apparently used it until they replaced it. look at all the different pictures from different times. The siren's projector was in a different spot every time.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All of Denver's sirens are now 2001's.

Might wanna Ctrl-C that because of how many times it's come up...

This isn't exactly related... But in google maps and Google Earth, the pictures are all labeled 2016, but you can still see a dam that was removed in 2011.

I know this is an aging topic, (I hope you don't mind me bumping this) but I found a video from 2009 of a tornado warning in Denver, and you can hear a high-pitched Thunderbolt 1000A wind-up, and it's very close.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BF7rjvH1BA
So I looked around the area from where this Bumblebolt was, in the video you can see a building, which you can see in this Birds-eye view on Bing.
https://www.bing.com/maps?v=2&cp=qms1cc ... orm=LMLTCC
The bumblebolt is located south from the angle of the building shown in the birds-eye view, and in the video it sounds like the thunderbolt is coming from south of where the camera-guy was pointing at.
The thunderbolt 1000 heard in this tornado warning video, might be the Bumblebolt.
