i re member growing up in the 50's and having practice bomb alerts. we were required to cover our heads and duck down beside our desk in school. what good that would have done had we actually had a nuclear bomb go off i do not know but it did put the fear of god in me of sudden complete annihilation....kind of put a damper on my childhood for a couple of years.

Nukes aren't nearly as powerful as you think. If one goes off a few miles away, ducking and covering would save your life. If a thousand TU-95's bombed your town with conventional bombs you'd be worse off. In one single raid a thousand B-29's bombed Tokyo killing outright more people than both nuke attacks combined. Tens of thousands more would die later of horrible burn injuries. Tens of thousands more would survive horrible burn injuries. Paul
