Duck and Cover was a social guidance film produced in 1951 by the United States federal government's Civil Defense branch shortly after the Soviet Union began nuclear testing. Written by Raymond J. Mauer and directed by Anthony Rizzo of Archer Productions and made with the help of schoolchildren from New York City and Astoria, New York, it was shown in schools as the cornerstone of the government's "duck and cover" public awareness campaign. The movie states that nuclear war could happen at any time without warning, and U.S. citizens should keep this constantly in mind and be ever ready.

They had some pretty tough tables that could protect them from an atomic explosion.

yep covering your head with simple newspaper will save you from falling objects, so you can make sure that you die from radiation poisoning instead

I was born in 89, I lived the late 90's and the first decade of the 21st century, I had troubles in my life but I cannot imagine to live in such time as this...
Imagine you are living with a fear that one day that siren will go off, and for those who weren't naive and knew what an Atomic Bomb was, and someday that siren goes off.
You might just well bury yourself cause you know Duck and Cover won't do shit.
Imaging hearing that siren, its like hearing Death itself screaming at your ears.
