In 1955, this was how information was distributed to the public. Always on Saturday between movies and cartoons, CIVIL DEFENSE films were common, along with air raid warning drills. First-hand knowledge 😢 ! ! !

Now, they will quietly go to their bunkers and announce the falling bombs minutes before arrival, if at all.😢

I would date this to 1962, judging by the brand new '62 Nova convertible which appears here. Very well made and informative.

It's startling that the man in the Wayfarer shades came from 7 years in the future driving that 1962 Chevy II and nobody in 1955 even batted an eye! Almost like Marty McFly...

You should be safe enough from fallout if you stay inside for a few days. Maybe spend the first day in the centre of your house, under some stairs or behind some heavy furniture.

Very informative and good information to know I remember living in the age of The Fallout Shelter and I also love watching these old films.

We Boomers grew up with the nuclear war/fallout/nuclear winter threat. These films and similar ones were shown in grade school, jr. high and high school. We wrote essays in English classes about how we might survive. Our fathers built bomb shelters in our basements. You can't store enough food or water to outlast how long it takes for nuclear radiation to come to half-life. Crops grown in nuclear irradiated soil and watered with contaminated radiated particles means that either everything is going to die or be horribly disfigured. There are two versions of "On the Beach". One is the American and the other is the Australian point of view. Watch them both in addition to "The Day After" and "Barefoot Gen" about a Japanese boy surviving the A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending WWII in the Pacific.

@@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe Dogma? Bucko, we Boomers forced a POTUS to end an unpopular war that killed almost 60K of our brothers, forced the selective service to recaliber their conscription policies to reduce the number of minorities that were drafted, developed a space shuttle, opened military careers to women, advocated civil rights, broke the glass ceiling, opened traditionally male fields to women and minorities, were the best-educated cohort in history, and chose to give birth to you. Your mother might be rethinking that choice right now.

Wrong-o. Did you watch the video and assume it was all a lie? 72 hours of isolation sees the end of most of the fallout's radiation. Sure, you'll not outlive it all - there's radiation in granite, brazil nuts, smoke detectors. You want to enjoy that helpless feeling, go ahead, but don't lie to people who can be saved if they don't listen to you.

No, not a throwback, but an on-going watch. The difference being, the government isn't spending money where it won't help. When the time comes for that, there will be no help for the masses. Only the oligarchy and their bootlickers will have any chance.

It totally cracks me up they actually thought they could decently survive an all out nuclear attack. I mean it’s so bizarrely stupid. Like in 3 weeks, you’d be back to work and having picnics or something.

@chriskelly331 10 ай бұрын

Seeing as this was made in 1955, that most certainly was the case. ICBMs hadn't even been tested yet, much less fielded. There were only 200 Soviet nuclear warheads in existence in 1955, and most of those would probably have been successfully intercepted before reaching the contiguous US. Meanwhile, the plan was still to evacuate potentially targeted US cities (which had been practiced in drills before). Seeing as they had hours from the first radar returns to potential detonations, this was possible. In other words, very few targets would actually be hit. Fallout would be the real danger because it spreads outside of the immediate area. It's entirely possible that for all intents and purposes the vast majority of Americans *would* be back to work and having picnics in three weeks.
