Ford Island Tower (aka UE Pearl Harbor)

Post by Sirius »

This is the place I really want to explore before I leave here. I probably won't get a chance since it's on a military base and has a razor wire fence around it now but I've known people who've still gotten in. This is a WWII era air-traffic control tower on Ford Island in the middle of Pearl Harbor. If you saw that turd of a movie with Ben Affleck in it you've probably seen this tower before. I think they knocked it down in the movie but I assure you it's still standing, although rusted out and with lots of bulletholes. If I manage to do it I'll post some pics but I thought I'd go ahead and post this much.

Agreed. That's freaking amazing. Thanks for posting that.

Razor wire is nasty stuff to climb over, but if you get some metal coat hangers and wire them into loops through the chain link (so you have steps), it's not too bad to go over. That, or tabi boots, which make climbing chain link a breeze.
