@dream6cold6code6 exactly! Given the circumstances and that we were just coming out of an age of war, they really didn't have any choice but to do what they did.

@jldraw Despite ignorance being bliss, the government could never simply say..."your fucked" they had to put people into the illusion that they could survive, that there was hope. They had to lie about the length of time radiation of such a magnitude took to clear, how can you say "radiation will take over 1000yrs to clear, there will be no hope for civilisation let alone plant life to ever flourish again...how do you tell people you love and care for and you're friends that? its better to lie.

@randy95023 Nah I can understand it given the fear and the paranoia surrounding The Cold War era. What sticks out to me the most is how the methods endorsed in this film would have done little to protect people back then. They were talking about being shielded from debris but the bigger concern would've been the massive casualties due to direct exposure to the blast and the radiation fallout afterwards. Shelters were a good idea but would've only worked if there was a warning.

In 1962 the Cuban Missile crisis was underway. I was in 1st grade. We lived in Palo Alto (Silicon Valley) less than a mile from Moffett Field. Moffett was the base for the P3 Orion "Sub Hunters" and the Submarine Communication array for the Pacific Fleet. We did Duck and Cover drills weekly at the elementary schools and had heavy drapery to shield from flash and glass fragments. In the 50's and 60's this stuff was REAL! Today's young people can't really understand... It's Funny Now though!

Wait, I thought you ducked and covered for volcanoes, not bombs.

This is your first short? It's terrific, up there with the later ones.

In my neighborhood some of the buildings have those old fashioned yellow "Fallout Shelter" signs still on them. But now the fallout shelters in the basement are just used for storage lockers. lol

Am I crazy or was Hitler the third guy to slide down the fire station pole? Great short, lots of funny lines as usual. It was nice to finally be able to see it.

"the blast could knock you into a wall or a tree" not to mention turn your entire body to ash in about 30 seconds
