    I think honestly when Matt Hughes committed suicide that took the wind out of Sean's sails for awhile. The season end for tornado chasers was wrenching to saying the best. I am glad to see Reed and Sean getting back into it, because they had the passion and drive to bring good research and amazing videos to everyone. What they did for tornado research was truly unmatched.

      Right? Facts💯🔥. I feel the same way. The two are kinda like siblings and you could see that in them. Reed was kinda there for him after Matt passed away. And Josh wasn't really. Disappointing because I really like Josh and the friendship between was awesome and you could really see that. Sean, Josh, and Reed were all kinda like siblings in a way.

      While that's true, I wouldn't necessarily suggest that his new Outback is going to be TIV 3. Because in January 3 years ago, Sean stated that he had bought a new Ram 3500 4x4 diesel truck. In his own words, "Hello TIV3!"

      It was cheaper to get the 1997 F-Super Duty truck than convert it to 4x4. TIV2 was built I think on a Ram 3500 or 4500 frame that was built to be a 6x6. You do have less to go wrong with a 2wd truck. Could've maybe have added a detroit locker or an e-locker to the diff and that would've helped a lot more than the open diff it had.

    Great video! Very well done. Based off a interview in 2009 Ronan Nagle said Tiv intercepted 9 tornados, all of these were filmed or documented in some way besides the first intercept in 2004. We can tell it was during that year due to some images of Tiv in its “Bushrag” livery and having a red tornado on the side of its nose meaning intercept
    Also Tiv had the nickname of COW earlier on standing for Coffin on wheels

    Let's go! Exactly what I needed to kick things back into high gear, after yesterday's solemn event of remembering the Titanic disaster. I did not think you'd be able to get it out this quickly. Awesome job documenting TIV's career. The only minor gripes I have is how you didn't go into detail about the claws which were added later, and especially TIV's interception on a nighttime tornado in the final moments of S1E1 of Storm Chasers. According to Discovery, the winds in the funnel reached 200 mph, and TIV took a direct hit. Broadside. I continue to maintain that she is a much stronger vehicle than most people realize.
    I am really looking forward to her eventual return to Tornado Alley, and especially her new look and upgrades. While I'll miss the silver paint and the claws, the black makes her look badass, and her new engine, plus the rapid-deploy spikes and her airbag system should make her one of the strongest and most capable tornado intercept vehicles in the world. The best of luck to Robert, though since his current plans are to only get TIV fixed up just enough to drive into smaller tornadoes, in light of the current market and the difficulty in getting her new parts, I hope he remains extremely careful if he manages to get her out this year.
    Great job once again and can't wait for next episode!

    It's cool to see what's happened to the original TIV. I had wondered what happened to all of these vehicles we saw starting in Storm Chasers. It was cool finding that Reed was at least still active a few years back, but it was odd seeing he had ditched the dominators. It's exciting to know that Reed is trying to revive the dominators, and not the TIV is getting another chance too. Now I'm just left to wonder what happened to TIV II. Guess I'll just have to wait for the video on it to come out next.

    I feel like the concept of a tornado intercept vehicle, outside of a government body or huge company, is kinda folly. What was the Big Shot supposed to be. Anyway? It's dark as shit inside a tornado. People have known that for years. You'd need to drive into the spin-up phase of a multi-vortex, that'd be neat but once you have condensation funnel what are you hoping to see?
    I understand data capture, but what was Sean hoping to film?

    Every time i see Sean Casey, I instantly think of that scene from the movie Twister where Bill said "He's in for the money, not the science" and it's true. Sean is the real life version of Jonas Miller.

      Sean didn't really do it for the money or science. He mainly did it for his family. So kinda for the money. But he also contributed some very good data to Vortex 2

    • @AgileCoast
      @AgileCoast Před 11 měsíci

      @Hornet1. I disagree. He cared more about that "I-MAX Film" that he was producing than gathering actual scientific data on tornados. That's the only reason he had the T.I.V. built. Where as Reid Timmer built the Dominator to collect scientific data from inside a tornado.

      I mean its not like he's doing it just for fun, for the most part. Of course he has a financial goal since he did mortgage his house. And he is a filmmaker at heart and profession. Storm chasing shouldn't be scientific exclusive. Heck before building the Dominator, Reed sold his footage to news outlets as income.
