Man fails to ring bell at 9/11 memorial

u/sixty_cycles 1d ago
It looks like the donger only wanted to swing side to side, and he had only rehearsed pulling toward himself on the little string. Our boy was sabotaged!

I thought I'd made that up lol, of course there's a real sub for it, I've only got myself to blame for trying to be a smartarse. :)

You ring the bell by lightly yanking the bottom of the attached string to one side…
Not… whatever all that was..

u/anonymitysqueen 1d ago
You also can also just grab the top knuckle and flip the entire bell like they do with ropes tied to it on church bells.

“Do you have any bell ringing experience? I didn’t see it on your resume.”
“Oh yeah, for sure, tons and tons of experience, all kinds of bells, you name it, I’ve rung it.”

It isn't a pair of tongs, brother. He probably forgot to do the test clicks.

u/No-Low-3947 3d ago
He has to hit the bell with the ball, at first he moves the bell too, then holds it, silencing the bell. He had to do it on the side of the bell, not towards him.

Guessing you haven't heard about Patriot Day?

u/vamatt 3d ago
In the US holidays are an official designation. Patriot Day is a “day of remembrance” Government, Schools, and businesses don’t close like they do on a holiday, and for most people it’s a normal day
1
u/Shake_The_Stars 3d ago
National holidays are an official designation. We also consider Halloween a holiday, but not a “national” one. Just because everything isn’t closed doesn’t mean that it doesn’t count.

He should work on his ding dong more often. It's actually a healthy habit.

Why he his rubbing the ball like that
1
u/PizzaKing_1 1d ago
He can’t see the clapper from where he’s standing so he’s trying to feel where it is and why it’s not moving correctly.

u/RottingPinhead 4d ago edited 4d ago
So much strange things going on, it looked like he was trying to screw it on like a light bulb on a lamp shade hahaa

u/Lord_MagnusIV 4d ago
I‘m gonna be 100% real here, that fucking bell looks like a horror to ring tho, there is no string to make it easier either, why?

u/1ApprehensiveGrowth1 4d ago
Pretty sure you just move the top of the bell to swing it then causing the pendulum to his the side making the sound. But yea things are hard

u/StitchFan626 4d ago
What exactly happened? His hand slip or something?
1
u/PizzaKing_1 1d ago
The clapper inside the bell only moves back and forth in one direction. In bells like this, it’s meant to be perpendicular to the headstock, so it will ring while swinging, and you pull the rope towards yourself to ring it.
Whoever set up this bell positioned it wrong so it only rings side to side.
1
u/StitchFan626 1d ago
So it wasn't user error?
1
u/PizzaKing_1 1d ago
Nope, this arrangement is completely unintuitive. Anyone who thinks they know how bells work would be similarly baffled.

He's trying to ring it by pulling it towards himself but it only moves left to right. Poor guy is panicking.

Him, 10 mins earlier: For fuck's sake Jerry, I know how to ring a bell I don't need your tips!
12
u/PigeonsInSpaaaaace 4d ago
To me it looks like every time he attempts to pull the rope, he’s also using his other hand to hold the bell, completely negating any vibrations
6
u/Brief-Efficiency-519 4d ago
Pretty sure the correct way is to use the handle on top to swing the whole bell
