Protect and Survive - What To Do When The Warnings Sound

[dunkelbomber]

0:41 to 0:46.... When two tribes go to war :-)

[ZemplinTemplar]

What to do ? Start playing a recording of Yakety Sax (for added gallows humour value) and then blow your brains out. ;-)

Note that the title says "When The Warnings Sound", rather than "If The Warning Sounds", as if it was inevitable.

[GoblinXXX]

I think the standard response to this is "Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye."

Threads scares the living shit out of me when I first saw it. Frankly, I'm surprised we haven't succumbed to it between then and now.

[MRresievil310]

threads was the most realistic nuclear war movie because it demonstrates the events before...during and after the war and its effect on society. Its a very scary movie, much more frightening than the most scary horror films.

nd it doesn't short-circuit when it gets wet.

They said to get rid of old emergency radios and use cell phones in a disaster. Uh, newer is only 20% of the time better. My cell phone battery lasts 2 days. And the giant emergency radio from 1949 in my basement has a battery the size of a lawnmower engine, and it lasts 2 weeks. Plus I can use a car battery for a replacement a

"I feel, I'm real"...

If caught out side, lay down, so we can scrape you off the ground with a shovel later.

[mrcelorapa]

...as if were left an alarm to sound after a nuke attack! Blah!

[koui77lol]

[utubeguy35]

[eltonator]

@ARTSIEBECCA Then we all go outside thinking it's safe, but really we're doomed.

[Cool2BCeltic]

@ARTSIEBECCA Yes, indeed.

[magicmentalmaniac]

yay for lead paint.

[Kenn1965]

I seem to recall an episode of The Simpsons where there is some atomic detonation in Springfield. Homer arrives back at his house only to find Lisa, Bart, Marge and Maggie all safe. Lisa happily tells him "All of the layers of lead paint in this house acted as a shield." LOL. Hysterical.

[racer927]

@Kenn1965 It was a neutron bomb rather than a regular one, which is why all the structures were standing

[conrad4ever]

but how do you know where the safe place is in your house.

[nemesisnick66]

I did not know that

[6opOqo9]

[joeg19]

Imagine how much you would have shit yourself if you actually HAD heard that warning siren.

[justas8111]

[spodomaticfreeze]

@joeg19 i was watching the one on alarms and a police car siren went off outside xD

[airodyssey]

Another one that was shown in the movie "Threads". "If you are caught in the open, lie down."

[MrBronson66]

Ha, NO ONE over 30 can listen to this without hearing the bass riff from "Two Tribes". Hide yourself!

[ratsouffle]

I'm 14 but I can still hear it! *dum da da da dum, da dum da da da dum...*

[Bulldog1115]

This used to frighten me as a kid. Not so scary now as the voiceover is the intro to Frankie Goes to Hollywoods Two Tribes.
