I want one of them capes what that women was using, looks like a handy thing to have to keep the smell of me shitting my pants from escaping. Hahahahaha
that's odd... I'd posted my own response to that question just after it was asked, but it, apparently, didn't post... Sorry about that, cfan12!
to be more exact, it's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2... back when i went mental searching out the answer to that very question myself, i believe i found that there are two different pieces under the same main title
I was in grade school in Iowa during the 50's and can remember practicing the duck under the desk routine in class. I thought I was pretty safe compared with other parts of the country. Only later in life did I realized that the Strategic Air Command located down the road a piece in Omaha would have been a prime target by Russian missiles. More than likely anything within 200 to 300 miles would have been vaporized.
nope. and actually if you're outside and you see it and are close enough to feel the h eat, there wont even be ash left - you'd just be a shadow on the wall. no lie.lol
Seriously, I saw this the first time in the middle of the night on some movie channel. When it got to the Turtle's "Duck and Cover" song, that's not in this clip- I had to think the same thing.
"NOBODY could figure that out if that's all it would take, just us!"
And the sad thing is, lots of people bought it. They bought it because they were so horrified, they wouldn't have been able to stay sane if they didn't grasp onto this crap.
The thought of an atomic bomb is scary, and the fact that they taught school children to "duck and cover" and you would keep you safe is horrible because in reality they would have been incinerated immidiatly.
'Duck and Cover' creeps me out, especially the way it's treated in this film. I really can't stress enough how worth checking out this documentary is (imho). So psyched to finally see some comments on the clip! ;}
This is my favorite ending to a documentary ever.

well, if a tornado blows you to Oz, where does an A bomb take you?
"Nothing to do now, but wait for orders from authorities and relax..." A classic line if there ever was one.

What's the name of the song played before the bomb hits? It sounds classical but that dosen't tell me much.

Why duck and cover, flat on the ground ... cause it´s easyer to stack the corpses :(

Did ANYONE buy this?
How were we supposed to be a fearsome military superpower if all it took to survive our most intimidating weapon was a measly duck and cover?
Surely the Soviets would have had some concept of how to duck and cover if that's what was required.
