Every step felt like a chance for someone to take control of the population through fear mongering, especially when they say stupid things like "If the Japanese just stood behind concrete bars they'd have all survived the explosion. What idiots." If we were to blow up by a nuclear bomb of any kind....it'd be us blowing ourselves up by sheer arrogance. Still would be cool to see those shelters though and they do inspire many great ideas like the man cave and other DIY projects at home, so they certainly weren't a bad idea at least.

Duck and cover sounds ludicrous today but it actually had a purpose based on experience. The idea was to avoid having the schoolchildren rush to the windows upon seeing the flash of a distant detonation, only to have the shock wave blow window glass into their faces. Civil Defense authorities wanted to avoid the experience of the 1917 ammunition ship explosion in Nova Scotia, in which something like 200 people who had been watching the burning ship through windows were left blind when the explosion shattered the windows.

Не то что у нас - право на место в бункере имеют только работники крупных заводов, естественно без семей. При сигнале "атом" их насильно сгоняют в сырую бетонную дыру. Подавляют любое недовольство избиениями, и уже через три дня выгоняют наружу, в радиоактивный ад - под дулами наганов восстанавливать никому не нужный завод во славу Партии! Кстати, полноценную еду им выдадут только через пять дней, ибо за это время умрёт много облучённых - и тратить на них ресурсы Партия не намерена. В то время как советские граждане машут кирками, валькуют бетонные блоки и носят в носилках битый камень, американцы с семьями сидят в уютных и светлых убежищах. От камина веет приятным теплом, по радио негромко играет Глен Миллер. Батя покуривает трубку и читает Хеменгуэя, мамка сидит рядом и занимается вышивкой на пяльцах, а дети мастерят что-то из конструктора Лего, то и дело издавая радостные клики. Так можно провести хоть год - никто не будет заставлять восстанавливать безнадёжно разрушенную инфраструктуру. Просто потому, что разрушения будут мизерными, ибо США выбрала стратегию защиты всей площади страны, а не как эта наша страна - зонтик ПВО развёрнут только над Москвой и военными объектами в глубине страны.

Our town filled in all the CD shelters in town after the flood in 92 or 94. I can think of only one place in the area and that's 33 miles away. Given the politcal climate these days, shelters at home make a lot of sense but any data on building is out of date and bunkers are stupidly expensive.

@MarioMastar11 ай бұрын
In Walt's version, he emphasized building a sturdy roof within the shelter so that if the house came crashing down, it'd be a barrier. He used long boards and cross beams and 2 layers of bricks on top. But yeah, a shelter like this is useless without a sturdy reinforced roof. Gonna be a way more painful death to be crushed than quickly incinerated.

But would this shelter actually work? Even if the 1 MT nuclear bomb detonated only a few miles away, you'll still be dead from the intense heat and initial radiation of the explosion. You really wonder did the Russians studied this by building actual shelters and then dropping a megaton-yield nuclear weapon nearby at the Semipalatinsk test site.
@MarioMastar11 ай бұрын
Given another video literally has an American going to Japan and saying "As you can see, if the Japanese just stood behind concrete structures, they'd have survived both nuclear attacks." I think the point was to make sure no one felt sympathy for any Americans who died from this foolishness. That's seriously how little these PSA givers cares about the survival of the people.

There are some (I said "some") merits to the idea of being able to shelter in place, but good grief that's an undersized shelter even for one person, let alone four, and where are the toilet and body cleaning facilities? Not to mention laundry or spare clothes, etcetera, in case they are needed while having to stay in the shelter for at least the minimum 2 weeks, such as if they shelter in the middle of winter and the heat and power went and stayed out? If it was ever needed I'll bet the whole family would be practically psychotic by the time it was safe to leave the shelter again. Heaven help them if for some reason they had to stay longer in the shelter. Within limits bigger is a bit better. And then there's the issue of air circulation...

@@teresabenson3385based on a comment from someone who lived through this era, fortunately people weren't as stupid as these PSAs make them out to be. I figure most people built these shelters out of convienence of having an extra store room if they could, as many people in the midwest build tornado shelters or in the coast build anti-flood shelters anyway. Still the whole point of propoganda is to make a large mass of people believe that everyone is a paranoid idiot praying today's not thier last day and given how cynical people are today, I think most of us kind of agree with what people likely thought back then. If a nuke goes off near our homes, sayonara....we probably deserved it.

These weren't bomb shelters. They were fallout shelters. In the late fifties, early sixties when these were made, the soviets didn't have that many bombs and those were destined for strategic targets, not suburbia. Fallout dissipates in two weeks. So the point was to have a shelter capable of protecting from fallout, not titan missiles.
