I remember at school one of my school teachers that grew up in the cold war era said that they had to watch this video at school.

The video was of a nuke getting dropped in a city and exploding and told them what to do if it happened, It then showed what the nuke would do to that city and how it pretty much evaporates everything.

She said Kids were fainting, Crying, running to the toilets to throw up when they saw the video at there school.

She said it was a haunting and horrifying video at the time.


Does anyone know what this is?:)
 
Oh i forgot to mention.

She said the video was banned down here after it caused too much distress and panic with the kids(Im pretty sure she said banned anyway:p)

That could be the one.

It looks similar to the way she described it.

Im confused:p

Our Fire stations use those Emergency horns when they get a call out or have there weekly training(Volunteers)

Always gave me chills down my spine when i heard them go off when i was younger:o
 
there was one i saw about if London was hit a 20mt bomb iirc, showed the shelters and things people would be expected to make and how they didn't work, but how some people would survive,

Then, they told you that in a real situation London would be hit by at least 30 multi megaton blasts and no nones gonna make it.

Indeed, the single bomb senario would be if (god forbid) terrorists ever got hold of a nuke.

that or the Russians find a way of getting a tsar bomba to NY LA or SF (only cities that at the time where considered viable targets, due to the size and cost of the bomb.

Still it only fit's on an old prop plane, with half sticking out so the chances are slim :p
