  • god thats horrible how people had to live like that in fear basically....that at any moment the bomb could go off.

  • @hippiegirlatheart - That's the cold war for you!

  • Q- what do you do when you see a flash?

    A- nothing. you already dead

  • You mean that newspaper isn't going to save us? :O

  • Duck and cover ? :D

  • I suppose it's only a matter of time until these sorts of films are brought back with the terrorist angle.

  • from now on im taking a newspaper to where ever i go! SAFER

    LIGHT!!!! DUCK AND COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh @SevenAwesomeKids

  • @MrV6sport Factor 30,000,000,000 is probably better than covering your head with a news paper. :)

  • A couple of questions:

    1. What was the context of this post? (What was the theme of the week?) It's so anachronistic, and seems rather naive in light of what we know today.

    2. Why would you *want* to survive a nuclear attack?

  • @260830107 No, not really. The fears of atom bombs being dropped were very real back then, so to calm people down and try to curb paranoia, they made these films so they could sleep at night. Kind of like tornado preparedness videos... Same thing. I live in the heart of tornado alley, I've seen them all.... It makes a person feel better if they think they have some kind of chance for survival, thus, these films. A perfect example of "the Russians are coming" Red Dawn, a 1980's film

  • If you were flashed... You will get radiation sickness from the Alpha, beta and gamma rays discharged during the first seconds of detonation.

  • @l0gically verry verry long !!!!
