Duck and Cover - Defence Against the H-Bomb (W/Sound)

[cantidoyang]

ATOMIC HOLOCAUST!!!!

[andan04]

0:48 When I panic, I strangle nearby others, too. I can't help it. I guess it's some sort of reflex.

The best way to handle an 'atomic bomb', is to set your belt mounted particle accelerator, to detect the deflection of the local quantum frame, and immediately spin up a neutronium cocoon and weave it about you. At that point you can either stay and experience the explosion, or dash off via teleportation to any of the galactic waystations established for guests, by treaty. Chances are Earth will be annihilated so you'll have to choose a new planet, but hey!... so did your parents.

Was this a !970s or 80s commercial?

[ScourgeOfHumanity101]

Actually gamma-rays are shorter than lightwaves, and less of them will reach the kid. But even so, it's right what you say, they most certainly will die

[SciBishop]

Sure you can "duck and cover" and perhaps avoid panicing, however if the flash has already occurred then you are too late, you will be burned. Sorry kids. PLus the fact is that if you ar actually close enough to see the flash, then you are close enough to be affected by the radiation and as such you are pretty much gonna be dead of exposure regardless. But since the American public was completely ignorant of the facts of nuclear physics of the time they felt safer even if it was load of BS.

[kroxas123]

this is the dumbest sht ever LOL

as if ducking will protect you from a bomb that destroys an island off the face of earth

[fallout3fan1011]

What do you do kids ?! Kiss your sorry asses goodbye!

[icefire2626]

ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE THIS?! at 0:42 the kid who was on the pogo stick, is now on the ground with X where his eyes should be? o.O

[kirbsnz]

flash gordon might have a chance

[hotrod3538]

we strangle the person in front of us when to bomb hits because their going to die anyway.

duck and cover my ass...

[onimischa]

oh yeah. i understand.

never panic when a hydrogen bomb explodes in front of you.

its just going to vaporize you... totally harless.

[Armpitshowdown7]

what do we do when the bomb hits? go cower in a corner and cry until you die.

[DarkZerkerX]

"What do we do when the bombs hit?"

"Duck, Cover, and kiss your ass goodbye."

[Pbirv]

"What do you do when the bomb hits?"

 "We all die!"

[zmbyhntr]

They are so stupid. So retarded. There is no way you can survive a nuclear attack by ducking. That's the most stupidest idea ever. When you are being nuked you simply get as far away from it as possible.

[ZooYorkVenom]

...Or you can kiss your sorry ass goodbye.

[zmbyhntr]

I know. You really can say goodbye.

[anaktis]

@zmbyhntr : The entire purpose of the film was to give people a sense that they *could* do something. The duck and cover was to shield one's self from flying debris- it wasn't a magic cure-all. It was to prevent mass panic, which would have led to riots and more deaths. The gov't was basically trying to prevent low morale and nihilism, the "we could die any day" that they thought could turn to lawlessness- and you know how the U.S. government was about strict laws and conformity back then.:)

[TotalNeutrality]

@anaktis Basically lying and telling them "everything will be all right"

[dgph0]

@anaktis

And the Fallout happens.

[WhyWouldICare479]

@anaktis but I hope do understand that if a hydrogen bomb hits everything just disintegrates. You know that right?

you would be dead no matter what.

[Wolle3007]

Saudumm! totaler Scheißdreck! Look the Movie "When the Wind blows"!

[PwnAgeAble]

lol peopel back then are so fuckign stupid

[ZEEEBAeata]

[slickrichardsn]

[supersandor]

That was weird is what it was.

[ultrarayman]
