westysays...lol if a A bomb gose of anny where near you you r so powned.
Devlinsays...I remember watching this film in 1st grade. Of course, when the film was MADE, atomic weapons did not have the destructive potential they do now. Also, it was meant as a psychological tool to help people avoid panic should the worst happen. Sometimes it may have been useful to duck and cover. Other times, it was to keep children from seeing the end approaching as a nuclear fireball consumed them.
In the military, we were taught to lie down with the top of our heads facing the expolsion and to hold onto our helmets. This was not meant to save us: it was so that our "dogtags" could be found later and we could be confirmed killed, not simply Missing In Action.
I wonder what films are being shown in school now?

I like how the tree is completely destroyed.
Pretty sure getting under those desks, you're still going to be dust.
I thought you were supposed to go to your vault, wait 100 years or so, then wander the wasteland...
