    I remember those days so well, I was 12 during the Cuban missal crisis. We didn't have a go home drills since we were a farming community, home could be many miles away. Our school was rather new. Cinder block walled hallways, the teachers and staff would have us line up along the inner walls in a knee, butt high head against the wall position. We (us kids) would snicker to our neighbor (as kids do) "with all of us lined up along the walls, It would be easier for the 'Them' to find the bodies."

    I am very young (compared to you) I'm only 47. The thing is: when I was a college boy and stupid, I despised classical old schools (thought now I love them). But here's a strange thing I noticed: the closer classrooms were from a perceived modern working environment, the more at ease to study I felt. It must be a sensitive bias since clever persons are able to abstract their suroundings in an amazing fashion. However these old schools now feel like the symbol of a lost dignity in regard to recent evolutions of the educational system.

    We would have had a lot less warning in 1982, ICBMs were much faster than the bombers that were in use when the film was made, and sub-launched missiles would take only minutes. These kids in the movie were in a rural area, though, and would not likely have been a direct target of a bomb.

    Because of previous false alarms. When so many have occurred you began to believe that's what the next one will be. Also human systems break down. Things happen to set it off. All it takes is one person spreading misinformation or a false rumor and it can spread. People get all worked up, leave their jobs, panic over finding their kids, moving to a shelter only to find later "false alarm." Then people decide then and there"I'm not going through this again". A precedent has formed in people's minds. And it could prove deadly when the next alarm and crisis comes and THIS TIME it is REAL!

    That's why I patented and am manufacturing the turtle shell from plywood. You can wear it clothing optional, take it everywhere. In the event of a nuclear strike do as a turtle does. It can be you'res for ten easy payments of $19.95. You may ask is my life worth $200. But remember you no longer need clothes. Live in a cold climate we can add removable insulation at and additional payment of $19.95. That's cheaper then a jacket. And for those longing for that vintage cold war look we can make it from actual old plywood desks. Maybe there's even some artwork or pre chewed gum there for you? Remember in the nuclear war you're local quickie mart may be all cleared out of gum, and you're dentist may be dead. Just because you survived Armageddon doesnt mean you'll survive a cavity in the wasteland. Plus those ladies/ gents like someone with all their teeth. This vintage Gucci model can be you'res for 60 monthly payments of $19.95. Are you concerned if you qualify for financing? Just remember good credit, bad credit, no credit, Timmy Turtle finances everyone. If you still can't afford $200 ask about our $75 DIY kit.

    Well obviously in a full on nuclear apocalypse, the “then what” would be, well, the apocalypse. In such a situation you’d be better off dying quickly. However, this duck and cover shit isn’t as stupid as most people think. There are all sorts of situations involving nukes where it would be practical. Not every hypothetical nuclear exchange is is firing every middle and then firing every middle. Say we accidentally shot one, told Russia it was an accident and they said to retaliate and not look weak they would shot just one at us. Or we shoot a few, they shoot a few and somehow our leaders got together and talked it out, decided mutual destruction was the only place this road led and stepped back from full on nuclear war. Or one rogue general shoots a few. Or a few tactical targets on each side were destroyed. All reasonable and relatively likely possibilities. In such cases, yeah, duck and cover, look away from the blast, get into a fall out shelter, you can actually out walk radiation fallout under certain circumstances. You don’t want to be blind and all cut to shit by glass in such a case. Anyway, yeah, duck and cover and drills and shit weren’t stupid and even if they were, what else are you gonna do? Might as well try to prepare...

    The alarm served in that capacity: it was intended to be heeded as soon as it sounded, as it was tied in to the local Civil Defense agency. Conelrad was discontinued in 1962 or 1963 when it became clear that ICBMs would be the primary delivery mechanism for nuclear weapons, and was replaced by the Emergency Broadcast System. What we see here is what happens when the threat of nuclear attack rammed head-on with what would be a typical school response - rule out every other possible cause for the alarm sounding, to avoid as far as possible the need to close the school and send the kids home.

    Actually dear, from the results at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, "duck and cover" is 99% effective if you aren't in the relatively tiny "lethal" zone. At Hiroshima, a man only 400 meters from "ground zero" survived and lived to be 97 years old! An infant, 5 weeks old was 600 meters from ground zero, completely exposed to the blast, covered in fallout, was named "Pika" after the intense flash and became one of Japan's greatest professional tennis stars, and a mother of three. A little knowledge hath made thee mad. Just like a tornado, it's flying debris that kill you, not the blast or "radiation" oooohh...., or the fire afterwards, at least according to the people on the ground. Read a book, not Life magazine, which is where you got your information.

    Unless you were right underneath a bomb, duck and cover would help protect you from the shockwave that would have shattered windows and thrown debris everywhere. Most people in the country would not have been directly in the blast zone of the bomb. As for having the kids leave the building, the school in the movie was in a rural area, so it would have taken a couple of hours for fallout to reach them after the explosions. So the plan would have been to get the kids home right away so their parents could take care of them before they had to worry about exposure.

    This film is a good example of the massive confusion that would likely follow a real alert. The high quality of the acting makes the scenario totally believable and realistic. If I had been the principal of this school, I wouldn't have wasted so much time verifying whether the alarm was real or not, I would have sent the kids home and then dealt with any reprimands for my decision later. Better that the kids be sent home during a false alarm than leave the decision to release them until it was too late. At least they had an hour to get the kids to relative safety before the bombs started landing on their targets.

    @@ThisEpicLife Sorry I'm late. While larger cities might have had an evacuation plan or a shelter-in-place plan (given the number of public shelters designated ad stocked by the feds) many smaller towns and rural areas would not have had the infrastructure in place nor the money to create it. Most if not all children in these areas would have had at least one parent at home, so sending them home, to where the family (it was hoped) had prepared some kind of shelter from fallout (probably the most likely issue to occur. The schools' alarm system did not exist in a vacuum; alarms all over the county would have sounded and CONELRAD or an EBS alert would have gone across the radio airwaves.

I asked the nurse how people could stay sane knowing that they might die at any moment. She said that, minus the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was way less scary than the threat of terrorism we face today...at least the Soviets had a bit of a conscience and could be reasoned with. She said that,like people today, if it's not in your area, you don't really give it much thought. My AH teacher said the only time he truly felt afraid was during the Cuban Missile Crisis, espeically since they sent every school child home during that tense time.

    That would depend on where they are located. If they are in a suburb miles away from the city center, it might indeed be safer to take the kids home - they wouldn't have to worry about a direct impact so much as the fallout that would start a few hours after the explosion, so better to get everyone home right away than wait until it is too late to go outside. Also, back then they had a lot more warning, since the enemy had to use bombers and not ICBMs, so they had a lot more time to get the kids home than we would today.

    I remember these drills well in the early 1960’s. We had to walk home because the nuclear blast fried the electronics of vehicle ignition. Nuclear tests in space over the Pacific knocked out the lights in Honolulu 800 miles away in 1962. My school was just a hop, skip and jump from the Atomic works at Oak Ridge, TN. We wouldn’t have stood a chance if it was for real. This was the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis - less than 1000 miles away - well within IRBM range. Are you sufficiently scared yet? These types of films were all the rage then. Today’s scare is “lock downs” what’s next?
