The key is to get as much mass as you can between you and the outside.
Those around (just outside of) the blast area are going to suffer. Most will survive and perish later if they dont stay in shelter.
Like I said, I got to re-read that book.
I so remember the “Duck and Cover” drills during the 50s, when the siren sounded. Years later, after seeing the realtime damage a nuke blast and secondary wave could do, I was stunned we kids went thru all that dumb stuff. Now, at 72, I just have to chuckle at it all.
It will be like the movie “Threads”, made “The Day After Tomorrow” look like a comedy.
I want you to be, too. ;)
Ooops, meant “The Day After”.
Moreover, the fact is a hell of a lot of people will survive in the rural areas.
But, it depends on how many they set off.
Ground zero is my friend!
Well if the nukes are going to fly, it makes sense to get into our huge, deep undergound, bomb shelters, as most people inside them them will be able to ride out the blasts, at least initially.
Oh, never mind, those are in Moscow.
I appreciate that. 😄
And during the initial nuclear blast and shock wave, be sure to maintain 6 feet distancing standards.
Yeah, it was Duck and Cover in grammar school, but in high school it was tuck your head and kiss your ass goodbye. Never expected to live this long.
When I worked at Rock Ctr in Midtown NYC, in the mid-70s, they tore out all the bomb shelters in the bottom 2 basement floors, for more office space. I found one of the old signs, popped it into my briefcase, and still have it on my garage wall, along with dozens of older signs of all kinds.
Yeah, it would have been a bad scene for sure.
I read somewhere that the Russian acronym for their civil defense system was “ГрОб”, or “Grob,” which means translates as “grave.”
For real. The Russian sense of humor.
Back to the Fall of 1983.
Me neither.
One of my favorite sayings, as I get older:
If I known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.
</smile>
Everyone is JOKING about this????
Why are you joking?!?!?
Aren’t you even a LITTLE worried about dying from a nuclear war?
THIS ISN’T FUNNY!
Agree. Post #20.
I’d choose vaporization also.
I see Fallout Shelter signs every day at work. I work for the Army in various buildings that were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s, many of which were designated shelters.
