Every now and then, in the middle of the night, the sirens would sound on the nearby airbase and the FB111s would scramble at full afterburner. That was always a no-sleep night.
Shamus Culhane's last film. Tom Sito was Shamus' assistant on this project. I conducted an interview with Tom yesterday and he said Shamus would rough animate the characters. Then Tom would clean it all up and prepare the exposure sheets.
One of my dad's co-workers had a fallout shelter at his house (my memory is that it was pretty elaborate but maybe not). I asked dad a couple times why we didn't have one - he calmly explained that if the Soviets attacked the US, CA would be a big smoking crater from north of Sacramento all the way to the MX border. Building a shelter, in his estimation, was a huge waste of time.
Perhaps so, but a shelter could protect against many other "disasters" , say civil unrest, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, storage for food, a root cellar, and other civil emergencies. You can never be too prepared.
Also, being blown up by a Hydrogen bomb is gonna feel way worse than an Atomic Bomb. We can't stress this enough, if we say it's an H bomb, your heart needs to stop, but if it's an A bomb, you'll still be vaporized, but it's not as bad.
I saw parts of this in an analog horror series. Right as they said “Here are the important instructions”, the EBA interrupted as the nukes were coming.
Yeah, I know that series. It was quite ironic when that happened. If I memory serves me correctly, wasn't the series called "America's last month" or something like that?
I'm screwed. I live within 10 miles of at least 5 Minuteman Missiles. We ARE #1 on the targeting list. I just hope the first one falls right on my head. I DO NOT want to survive. Being prior military and Volunteer Firefighter, I am more aware than most about the horrors that await.
We had 18 Minuteman sites ringing us as well as an air force base and Hughes aircraft. We also had an Army communication base 90 miles away. We were target number 1. I was told that the entire southern half of Arizona would be reduced to a sheet of glass had nuclear war erupted. A friend has a house with a guest cottage that has the bedroom and bath about 60 feet underground. It was the only fallout shelter I had ever seen. It was built in the early 50's. Very scary feeling of being trapped down there!
Where I lived in CT in the 70s and 80s the next town over had a siren at their fire department they tested every week at 5pm . We used to call it the 5'o clock whistle. As long as it went off at 5pm. We always knew it was just a test. We were pretty close to counter-value targets in SW Connecticut . Probably close enough the blast and heat would kill us or if the warhead overshot its target Probably get vaporized.
"If you see a flash, you have plenty of time to duck and cover. The heat wave and pressure will wait for you and you'll be completely unharmed laying on the side of the road." The government REALLY wanted us to trust them when they were the only ones who had the actual nukes they were talking about.... and a reason to fire them.
Chances are if it hits, the first indication will be the flash. Unless you are far away, or facing the other way, you are now blind, and the heat and earthquake are coming. This action is probably for people greater than 5 miles away, or the next town.
@cakey WITNESS MY POWER oh shit it's a tree damn I never knew timber could withstand the power of the sun exploding why don't they just advise everyone to buy and build a wooden shed.. then 🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Prior to 1979 FEMA was known as the Department of Civil Defense. So it could be that this film was in their archives all along. Regardless the scenes in the film look like they were definitely taken back in the 1950s.
They weren't meant for people living in cities. They were originally intended for people who lived in distant suburbs, small towns, or the country, although in the end most were built in cities as that's where people lived. Keep in mind, too, that most were built in the mid-1950s, at a time when it wouldn’t have been especially easy for the Soviets to target inland cities. (In truth before the development of the ICBM the Soviets were much more fixated on Europe and Alaska than the lower 48; it's possible that in an early 50s nuclear war Germany would have been bombed far more heavily than the US mainland.)

How quant, how naïve, putting the most optimistic scenarios forefront. First: YES it would be the end of the world. The environmental damage would be too great to sustain life as we know it. What happens to crops? livestock? With no to little sunlight for photosynthesis we cannot make food. A great percentage of natural water sources will be undrinkable but for the miniscule amount saved and stored. Radiation from nuclear weaponry has been so comically discounted to the point where a smiling, little cartoon man is putting out a white plate on his porch to measure fallout that falls like a gentle snow. Meanwhile it will sicken the planet for years. We can't comprehend the end. Especially the end caused irrevocably by human kind. i hope to be incinerated by the initial blast. Make it quick. I don't want to be some straggling, roach-like, post apocalyptic creature. At a certain point, life is not worth it. I will be done. You will be done. Thy will be done. We are less prepared than ever. The prospect of a nuclear war is a remote idea, an abstraction. We have no PSA's about it, no drills, nobody in government is discussing this earth ending power controlled by deeply flawed men such a Putin or (another) Trump and their sycophants No one knows what immediate danger means. I imagine perceived, expected time for announcements, warnings, and alarms heard and watched with curiosity, arguments, furious texting/posting/selfie taking and tweeted opinions until the bright white flash in the sky one second before you are rendered dust.

Right, that’s why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are uninhabited today? Oh, wait... Or why Germany and Japan, both of which had their entire infrastructure system, and factories, and transportation networks destroyed in the war descended into the dark ages and never rebuilt from the war... Oh wait that’s false too. Most of the country would be unaffected by the blasts in even the most unrealistically bad scenarios and the fallout would be mostly tolerable after about two weeks, it would do a lot of damage, but it would be far from a dark age.

Beneath The Planet of the Apes. Subterranean mutants worshipped a cobalt-encased Omega ICBM, singing "All Things Bright and Beautiful" and reciting the above prayer. Russia's leaders claim to have a 50Mt, cobalt--salted, nuclear powered USV and threaten to kill all life on Earth if they don't get their way. So mutant orcs are real.
this is DEFO not good education 😕🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣 UA-cam QED A guild to Armageddon watch .. then decide 🤔🙄😕 that's the true reality of all this building a shelter business. May sense and sensibility lead and prevail...
Seriously! When did they do away with Civil Defense? And when did they close all those fallout shelters? I remember they were everywhere when I was a kid, but at some point in the 80s (I thought it was earlier, but this video says otherwise) I learned they were no longer maintained as public shelters, probably because we'd given up on surviving long enough to get to one, or because they could only accommodate a tiny fraction of the population.
@UA-cam Veterinarian Because no one is going to drop any more expensive bombs than they need to get the job done, plus insurance (think past a single exchange that's over in 30 minutes - our military leaders do), and not all of us live in target areas or in major city centers. Some of us live in the far suburbs and rural areas. There is a fair bit of time between a nuke blast and the fallout that follows. Upwind of the blast, there might not be any fallout at all. It's not a hopeless cause. Even if only 30% of the people in the city where I live survive a blast, should we leave them with no resources? Even if only 5% survive, I think we should prepare for their needs. But I think over 70% of Americans are projected to survive a hypothetical full exchange with the Russians. I think it would be cruel and irresponsible to leave the survivors with nothing at all. Survival of at least some of us is worth something. That's why we should bother.
@@beenaplumber8379 I was in several fallout shelters as a kid. They were all at the Naval base where my dad was stationed. But there was another one nearby off base for families and several others my friends told me about for civilian employees. This was in the late 50s, early 60s. It'd be really fascinating to find out if anything remains of them...if I could even find them. The area was nearly unrecognizable to me when I drove through in 2016. It used to be in the middle of nowhere, now it's like one giant, slightly shop-worn strip mall.
Beena Plumber you need to do some homework because it’s estimated that 90% of the worlds population would die within the first ten minutes of a nuclear conflict
The dimensions of the brick and concrete wall,as well as of the packed earth are totally off in relation to the number the documentary shows and to the person behind them
March 2022. This old footage is useful again. Lets hope we won't need to use all this information. But i advice everyone to watch this, considering that russian fascists are attacking mostly civilian targets.
The Greatest Danger is Hopelessness Yes,I believe its possible to survive a Incident like that one mentioned in the film Lastly I hope that it never comes to that God bless America 🇺🇲
it's a historic video of the time unfortunately it's obsolete big time because now we have the power to destroy everything in anyone weapons are more advanced more precise more accurate with laser-guided precision
The amazing part is that the average American BELIEVED this tripe. so...DON'T loot a pharmacy and then stand on the roof, waiting for that ultimate tan?
Just a note, I am 48 and have never seen a fallout shelter sign here in NSW Australia. I guess some people had private shelters, but I've never seen one of them either!
your government didn't want to patronise its citizens why make folks aware of their impending doom and destruction May sense and sensibility lead and prevail
Australia had duck and cover drills for children for a while, but that's about it. We weren't a high priority target. The civil defence organisation was officially disbanded, it became the SES (in Victoria) or similar in NSW.
Anyone besides me wonder why we don't get more updated (like for the 2000's hint hint) information and instructions? Or is it that they determined there is no possible way to survive, so we don't talk about It??
it was more because people didn't think it could happen in the 90's or 00's because of the dissolution of the USSR. well, now we know how wrong we were. NYC did a PSA some days ago about this also, but it was crude and didn't have even as nearly as enough info as this has. and tbh, there is also 2 facts to consider: 1: if you live in a country where there is EAS or an EAS equivalent, you will have much more chances to survive than for example i will here in Brazil, where preparedness is ZERO. not even basements we have, let alone fallout shelters. the good news however is, that it seems that we here in Brazil are not target number 1, so we could potentially be not attacked directly. not that it would be any better with fallout, but i digress. (not saying it is impossible for us to be attacked with a nuke, heck, we are part of BRICS, an alliance that the U.S. will most likely retaliate against. it isn't impossible just unlikely) 2: if a modern nuclear missile (like the russian Khinzal, Poseidon or the Avangard weapons) is to strike a major metropolitan area, you not only would most likely be vaporized because of the stupidly high iyeld of the weapon (claimed to be 100MT, twice the potency of the Tsar bomba), AND, would have next to no time to run (30 seconds IF there was any warning at all). so forget about geting home if you are outside of it at work for example (wich, let's be honest will be 99% of the people). so, you gonna shelter where you are when you recieve the warning. this was true then, and it is even more true now. you can be a super prepper with lots and lots of survival food and material at home, but if you are unlucky to be out of your home when the bomb falls, you are NOT geting home anytime soon. it is simply impossible to begin with. especially if you or your home is located anywhere near downtown or a priority target (Military Base, Airport, Industrial Zone, commercial center, Big Government shelters like Cheyene moutain or Mount Weather, basically anywhere near 100 km radius of an area where a bomb can fall), if you or your home is anywhere near there, then you can say goodbye for it. and even if you are at the safe zone when it does happen, one slip up and it is game over, so you gotta follow the advices given to the rule and once locked down in the shelter wait at least for the full 14 days to be safe. if after that there will be any society or anything left... then it's another story completely.
@@marcossonicracer A Tsar Bomba level weapon would be a waste of resources for the nation deploying it. From the result of the Tsar Bomba test, it was discovered that the law of diminishing returns applied - a 10-fold increase in the yield of the weapon only created something like a four-fold increase in the blast radius. Modern weapons now involve MIRV technology with each warhead having a yield of no more than 100KT.
6:23-WRONG the emp would have destroyed all OPERATING electrical devices, including electric motors used in municipal pumping stations, that means as soon as the bomb went off, no more water or power or radios, INCLUDING battery operated radios, that is yet another reason to store batteries and device separately, even back then.9:51 well not EXACTLY while the radiation MAY have weakened the TRUE danger comes when materials have ben particleized, the REAL danger comes from breathing the radioactive materials, those grains of dust and sand that were dirt, buildings and, yes, people, you breathe them in and that is where the real dsamage is done, THIS is what kills you if the bomb doesn't. 10:12 i remember seeing some of these as a kid. 11:34 yeah or some goofus with a few dozen ak-47s and a few thousand rounds of ammo saying GIT OFFA MUH LAND, THE GUHMENT AINT GONNA TELL ME WUHT TO O DUE. 12.00 YES, THAT IS TRUE, and, more than likely, it will go as smoothly as it does at any other time, well that and the knowledge that absolute death is going to fall from the sky at any moment.
@@Amberlynn_Reid that's not what i said, what i said was, ***emp would have destroyed all OPERATING electrical devices, including electric motors*** the emp would induce an electrical surge in the copper used to make the circuit boards and wires in the devices, damaging the capacitors, transistors, transformers ect, the surge would damage the wires in the motor causing them to overheat in some spots and melt the wires that make up the motor, if i remember correctly, it could/would damage batteries as well, though i don't remember if that part too clearly.

Beneath The Planet of the Apes. Subterranean mutants worshipped a cobalt-encased Omega ICBM, singing "All Things Bright and Beautiful" and reciting the above prayer. Russia's leaders claim to have a 50Mt, cobalt--salted, nuclear powered USV and threaten to kill all life on Earth if they don't get their way. So mutant orcs are real.

Protection in the Nuclear Age........I thought this was a film about Glow in the Dark Condoms.
October 1962.
Taste it again for the first time.
(And just may do that).
Oh great, I have 30 minutes to fight multiple fires, and turn off my water and gas before the radioactive fallout arrives.
You're gonna be busy then.
Who's here getting a education in case of WW3?
Right Its A Nuclear END One Way Or The Other Any Time Now
this is DEFO not good education 😕🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣

15:26 - We must not allow a mine shaft gap!!!
We called the testing of these air raid sirens every Monday morning “the 11:00 bell”
I thought it was the start of the clangers,to begin with
We will be toast before the sirens sound!!
Born '65. Thought Ronnie Raygun was going to push the button. Never thought I'd live this long yet here I am.
Back when Civil Defense was obsolete.
Seriously! When did they do away with Civil Defense? And when did they close all those fallout shelters? I remember they were everywhere when I was a kid, but at some point in the 80s (I thought it was earlier, but this video says otherwise) I learned they were no longer maintained as public shelters, probably because we'd given up on surviving long enough to get to one, or because they could only accommodate a tiny fraction of the population.
@UA-cam Veterinarian Because no one is going to drop any more expensive bombs than they need to get the job done, plus insurance (think past a single exchange that's over in 30 minutes - our military leaders do), and not all of us live in target areas or in major city centers. Some of us live in the far suburbs and rural areas. There is a fair bit of time between a nuke blast and the fallout that follows. Upwind of the blast, there might not be any fallout at all. It's not a hopeless cause. Even if only 30% of the people in the city where I live survive a blast, should we leave them with no resources? Even if only 5% survive, I think we should prepare for their needs. But I think over 70% of Americans are projected to survive a hypothetical full exchange with the Russians. I think it would be cruel and irresponsible to leave the survivors with nothing at all. Survival of at least some of us is worth something. That's why we should bother.
@@beenaplumber8379 I was in several fallout shelters as a kid. They were all at the Naval base where my dad was stationed. But there was another one nearby off base for families and several others my friends told me about for civilian employees. This was in the late 50s, early 60s. It'd be really fascinating to find out if anything remains of them...if I could even find them. The area was nearly unrecognizable to me when I drove through in 2016. It used to be in the middle of nowhere, now it's like one giant, slightly shop-worn strip mall.
Beena Plumber you need to do some homework because it’s estimated that 90% of the worlds population would die within the first ten minutes of a nuclear conflict
This must be when the government still pretended they cared about us.....
The dimensions of the brick and concrete wall,as well as of the packed earth are totally off in relation to the number the documentary shows and to the person behind them
Lead is the only thing that could effectively protect someone from fallout. But fallout can penetrate through it all
The cake will be burned!
March 2022. This old footage is useful again. Lets hope we won't need to use all this information. But i advice everyone to watch this, considering that russian fascists are attacking mostly civilian targets.
it looks kind of like blue Pikmin
Yes
@ 14:43: "Dig an L-shaped trench." Yep...dig your own grave so the survivors won't have to do it.
10:27 they're not
E7
Wow, the first area they showed as likely for an attack is where I live. Welp, time to move.
I don't think anybody in '79 was falling for this load of shit. This looks more like '59.
This was made in 73', then edited and remade for America in 78'. You're more likely to survive the attack than afterwards.
16:25 Don't forget the can openers!
Teacher: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,-

The Greatest Danger is Hopelessness Yes,I believe its possible to survive a Incident like that one mentioned in the film Lastly I hope that it never comes to that God bless America 🇺🇲
enjoying this should watch on here 'Protect and survive UK' even though it's meant with good intentions it's just sinister
4:04 they should’ve included a Gentex Commander 3, a Spectral Alert Advance, and a EST Integrity.
These made me 10x more paranoid about the nukes going off
Well, we have a tenth of the nukes now.

Does anyone have the full, unedited audio of the Siren sounds?
And where can anyone get it?
That fs thunderbolt 1000 had to be on setting 6 lol cool retro video
Love those Thunderbolts...truly the king of all sirens!
it's a historic video of the time unfortunately it's obsolete big time because now we have the power to destroy everything in anyone weapons are more advanced more precise more accurate with laser-guided precision
This is not a test
19:07 I AM SPEED
The amazing part is that the average American BELIEVED this tripe.
so...DON'T loot a pharmacy and then stand on the roof, waiting for that ultimate tan?
What about the all clear signal siren? The narrator forgot to do this.
Just a note, I am 48 and have never seen a fallout shelter sign here in NSW Australia. I guess some people had private shelters, but I've never seen one of them either!
I think the fallout shelter signs are a US thing, not sure what Australia did for fallout shelters.
@@pacificcy3182 Duck & cover!!
your government
didn't want to patronise its citizens
why make folks aware of their impending doom and destruction
May sense and sensibility lead and prevail
Australia had duck and cover drills for children for a while, but that's about it.
We weren't a high priority target. The civil defence organisation was officially disbanded, it became the SES (in Victoria) or similar in NSW.
Did they not know about nuclear winter being a possibility when this was produced?
No, they didn’t know until 1983
Re Building Trust ..............
🌈🌍🕊
Wow how useful was that 🤮 even then
Anyone besides me wonder why we don't get more updated (like for the 2000's hint hint) information and instructions? Or is it that they determined there is no possible way to survive, so we don't talk about It??
it was more because people didn't think it could happen in the 90's or 00's because of the dissolution of the USSR. well, now we know how wrong we were. NYC did a PSA some days ago about this also, but it was crude and didn't have even as nearly as enough info as this has. and tbh, there is also 2 facts to consider:
1: if you live in a country where there is EAS or an EAS equivalent, you will have much more chances to survive than for example i will here in Brazil, where preparedness is ZERO. not even basements we have, let alone fallout shelters. the good news however is, that it seems that we here in Brazil are not target number 1, so we could potentially be not attacked directly. not that it would be any better with fallout, but i digress. (not saying it is impossible for us to be attacked with a nuke, heck, we are part of BRICS, an alliance that the U.S. will most likely retaliate against. it isn't impossible just unlikely)
2: if a modern nuclear missile (like the russian Khinzal, Poseidon or the Avangard weapons) is to strike a major metropolitan area, you not only would most likely be vaporized because of the stupidly high iyeld of the weapon (claimed to be 100MT, twice the potency of the Tsar bomba), AND, would have next to no time to run (30 seconds IF there was any warning at all). so forget about geting home if you are outside of it at work for example (wich, let's be honest will be 99% of the people). so, you gonna shelter where you are when you recieve the warning. this was true then, and it is even more true now. you can be a super prepper with lots and lots of survival food and material at home, but if you are unlucky to be out of your home when the bomb falls, you are NOT geting home anytime soon. it is simply impossible to begin with. especially if you or your home is located anywhere near downtown or a priority target (Military Base, Airport, Industrial Zone, commercial center, Big Government shelters like Cheyene moutain or Mount Weather, basically anywhere near 100 km radius of an area where a bomb can fall), if you or your home is anywhere near there, then you can say goodbye for it. and even if you are at the safe zone when it does happen, one slip up and it is game over, so you gotta follow the advices given to the rule and once locked down in the shelter wait at least for the full 14 days to be safe. if after that there will be any society or anything left... then it's another story completely.
@@marcossonicracer A Tsar Bomba level weapon would be a waste of resources for the nation deploying it. From the result of the Tsar Bomba test, it was discovered that the law of diminishing returns applied - a 10-fold increase in the yield of the weapon only created something like a four-fold increase in the blast radius. Modern weapons now involve MIRV technology with each warhead having a yield of no more than 100KT.
6:23-WRONG the emp would have destroyed all OPERATING electrical devices, including electric motors used in municipal pumping stations, that means as soon as the bomb went off, no more water or power or radios, INCLUDING battery operated radios, that is yet another reason to store batteries and device separately, even back then.9:51 well not EXACTLY while the radiation MAY have weakened the TRUE danger comes when materials have ben particleized, the REAL danger comes from breathing the radioactive materials, those grains of dust and sand that were dirt, buildings and, yes, people, you breathe them in and that is where the real dsamage is done, THIS is what kills you if the bomb doesn't. 10:12 i remember seeing some of these as a kid. 11:34 yeah or some goofus with a few dozen ak-47s and a few thousand rounds of ammo saying GIT OFFA MUH LAND, THE GUHMENT AINT GONNA TELL ME WUHT TO O DUE. 12.00 YES, THAT IS TRUE, and, more than likely, it will go as smoothly as it does at any other time, well that and the knowledge that absolute death is going to fall from the sky at any moment.
That’s not how EMP works!😂
@@annoyingbstard9407 ok, then tell me how an EMP works.
Hey EMP expert please tell me more about how all electric motors won't work
@@Amberlynn_Reid that's not what i said, what i said was, ***emp would have destroyed all OPERATING electrical devices, including electric motors*** the emp would induce an electrical surge in the copper used to make the circuit boards and wires in the devices, damaging the capacitors, transistors, transformers ect, the surge would damage the wires in the motor causing them to overheat in some spots and melt the wires that make up the motor, if i remember correctly, it could/would damage batteries as well, though i don't remember if that part too clearly.
“If there are small fires put them out”. Does the government think we are ducking stupid?
Considering that 6 months ago, people panic-bought toilet paper and pasta, yes.
Yes

10 minutes from the RAF VBG (Vulcan Bomber Group) airbases

Ignorance implies they didn’t know what they were talking about. This is disinformation. "You can survive, so don't worry if we rattle our sabres!"
Public fallout-shelter = indoor blast-furnace
