For those of you who might live in America in the '60's
Did you really thought that those wooden shacks really protected you from a nuclear blast!?
shareWhat about teaching school children to duck and cover under their desks in case of a nuclear attack. They would have been vaporized in an instant.
shareI don't know, man
I'm watching "project blue book" and I noticed that silly thing
Werenโt there people during the Hiroshima blast who just happened to be in the right spot and survived while people just several feet away were killed?
shareThere was at least one person who survived both blasts:

Well we had drills where we went to inside hallways, but I don't recall ever hiding under my desk. I think most people were concerned about fallout - not surviving a direct blast.
shareYou're right. I'm mixing up earthquake drills when the teacher would yell "drop" then we would quickly get under our desks for protection of falling objects. I remember going into the hallways for a nuclear blast drills.
shareAn old timer, tell your stories.
