Q.E.D - A Guide To Armageddon Pt 2

A GUIDE TO ARMAGEDDON is a speculative documentary of what would happen if Britain suffered a nuclear attack . We`re shown via specially shot scenes and still pictures of the damage and terminal consequences wrought upon the people of Britain with the narration ending that " Would the survivors envy the dead ? "

Has it rung any bells yet ? Let me remind you of a few scenes featured: Meat cooking in a butchers window due to the heat generated from the initial nuclear flash , milk bottles melting on door steps along with childrens toys. That`s right , much of the footage shot and stills used were expanded , edited or re-used by director/producer Mick Jackson in his nuclear holocaust docudrama THREADS a year later . A couple of points

1 ) Some of the footage seen here is absent from THREADS ( Like the meat cooking in the butcher shop ) down to the fact that it interferes with the context of the docudrama . People have been panic buying for days before the bomb drops in THREADS hence meat cooking in shop windows contradicts this scenario

2 ) It`s clearly stated that the smoke and dust from a thermo-nuclear war would lead to a " nuclear winter " . Considering both A GUIDE TO ARMAGEDDON and THE DAY AFTER were produced at exactly the same time it`s clear that THE DAY AFTER has ignored the concept of a nuclear winter on purpose since it would have been known to the scientific community . One can`t help thinking TDA has ignored the nuclear winter on purpose rather than through ignorance. Indeed on its broadcast critics of TDA like Lord Denis Healey pointed out that the American TVM didn`t go far enough pointing out the consequences of global nuclear war and I couldn`t help thinking that was a straight referrance to this documentary

I would trust Carl Sagan over any of those Pentagon corporate whores.

The Pentagon and MOD invested nothing in shelters for ordinary civilians, instead they just told people to "hide under a table", "hide behind a wooden door". What a load of disgusting crap.

"Duck and Cover" and "Protect and Survive" are insulting, patronising BS.

Have you noticed how the politicians get to hide in state of the art bunkers while the rest of us were told to "make do and mend". That tells you everything.

@silver4883 Oh keep your hysteria to yourself. Iran hasn't violated its obligations under the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. It is fully permitted to have a "nuclear weapons option," just as Japan, Brazil, and Argentina have. In fact, a civilian nuclear program puts a country well on its way to a nuclear weapons program. They have no obligation to submit to intrusive, extra inspections because they are doing nothing illegal. Saber-rattling western leaders are a greater threat to the world.

This is a little more realist than anything I've seen (survival guides, I mean).
