"No one bothered to explain that we were only 12 miles from NYC—which means that in a hydrogen bomb blast, our whole town would have been incinerated. "

We were about 50 miles from the city, doing the drills at least twice a month. I remember hearing one of my teachers say to another, "Aren't you going to get down?" The other one said, "No, because when it happens there won't be anything left anyway, no food, no water, a few horribly mangled survivors, and I don't want to be one of them."

I was terrified for years afterwards. LOL! Talk about scary stories, no wonder so many "Boomers" are basket cases.SmileyCentral.com
