a movie made in the cold war era as a preparation for a possible nuclear attack part 1 of 2 this is not my video i did not film it nor am i the first person to upload it please don't sue me
2:45 This particular set was built in CDC in Atlanta GA. My real father worked for CDC and made many educational videos. My father was the one that was doing the videography here. I am that little boy there (Scott), my real mother, and my real sister (Candy). The man playing the part of our father was the pastor of the church in Tucker, GA that we went to back then. He was Pastor Tolsen. This was produced in 1963 or 1964.
0:30 love that orderly stroll downstairs to the shelter. Today there'd be mass pandemonium with people screaming and fighting, along with teenage girls blocking the stairs because they're taking fish-lip selfies with the fallout shelter sign in the background.
Although humerous to think of, humans are generally very predictable in herd situations like this. There were teenagers back then too, and they revolted against social standards just as badly.
@@amandahuggandkiss2998 that's OK we'll just invite the knaighbours round for dinner, just as soon as the modern world is back to normal in about a fortnight, according to the information booklet
My father worked for CDC & was one of the videographers. My mother, younger brother and sister are seen in the "home shelter" shots with an actor playing the father. (My real father was behind the camera.) (I don't know where I was at the time..... Maybe I was in school?)
I remember seeing his fallout shelter signs allowed in the 90s. When I was told that means it's a public fallout shelter and noticed that my Elementary School basement had 1 at the top of the stair well. I remember seeing dusty boxes stacked up in a closet. By the end of the school year in 1999 when I was leaving for middle school they were tossing it all out.
Actually no, people DO act orderly surprisingly during emergencies. I know it seem weird but most cases where people get crushed by the mob is actually during non emergencies like concerts , stores, etc.
People had a healthy sense of awareness back then. Prepared for the worst & the news was tame with delivery of this topic unlike what we have going on right now. Wish this was played on loop for the entire week along with similar informative material. Cool calm & collected, thanks for posting this.
The reason the video states 2 weeks is that in studying fallout in a book it says the radiation is 100 percent day 1.As days progress the half life of radiation decreases until safe (maybe) in 2 weeks.Thats barring no more detonations and wind conditions in the area.
He’s incorrect. If there is 2.5 gallons of water per person, for a 14-day period, that means 2.85714 cups of water per person per day, or 2 and 3/4 (approximately). That works out to just slightly over half a quart, not over a full quart as the narrator announced. That is also WAY below dehydration levels. I thought they already knew that people needed a minimum of a gallon of water per day. I can’t imagine how the government could get away with setting up shelters, and call them “ready” when the quantity of available water is that short! They’re basically providing 1/6 of the recommended MINIMUM for survival! On top of that, the “food” rations for many of those shelters were a minimal few nabisco crackers per day. No variety, no flavor, nothing else. The toilet facilities were basically a shower curtain in the corner. No privacy for odor or sound. There was no way to silence people’s habitual sounds, particularly children. People would get bored, stir-crazy, would be too self-conscious to wash much, would be constipated terribly, from being too shy to poop in public. I suspect many people would come out of the shelters changed, and not for the better. No matter how civil people tried to be, it would be an incredibly traumatic experience for everyone involved!
Actually that "gallon a day" rule comes with some caveats-it's the amount a normally active adult needs every day on a long term basis, and includes liquid from all sources, including what's in the food you're eating. For a limited time (and two weeks falls into that category) a sedentary adult can actually survive on less than a liter per day. In extreme circumstances, you can actually do with less-after the explosion on Apollo 13, the crew survived nearly four days on six ounces per day each. While living two weeks on 3/4ths of a quart of water per day doesn't sound pleasant, it's doable. And you can always stock up with more-they're talking about _minimum_ amounts.. Once nice thing about your "too shy to poop" scenario-feces contains a fair amount of water, so that actually stretches how long you can go with the water supply :-)
It’s was all smoke and mirrors most public shelters never got any supplies at all. The shelters were not built to withstand an attack any shelters in city’s would be obliterated in seconds. If you were out of blast range 2 weeks would not be near long enough to safely go out
Same. But think this was made so many years ago before the thought of modern day prepping, modern day backpack designs, and modern day tech. It’s great that the bare essentials were covered: shelter, nonperishable food, water, toiletry/sanitation.
i think what they mean by not bring anything is perishable foods,things that take a large space without being necessary to human survival for at least two weeks
I got thirsty for water watching this. I never drink water, but today I'm going to drink water and thank God I have enough - as much as I want- to drink!
Aaron Stits God bless you Aaron. What a sweet thing, to be kind to a stranger. I don't drink water. I guess I get enough water in my other drinks because I can't stand water.
Thanks! May God bless you too! (And yes I'm a Christian) I drink water normally, Not that its my favorite beverage, but because it helps strengthen the body.
All I could think when they mentinoed that someone would be in charge of the shelter is 'what's keeping nephatism down?'. How do they keep the manager from playing favorites.
I think I would rather have stayed out in the radiation invested world than elbow to elbow with people I don't know in a foul smelling shelter . People at each other's throats over how many portions of Spam they deserve
The public fallout shelter in this video needs the following items and amenities: 1. A 50 or 60 inch flatscreen TV posted on the wall next to the shelter entrance door. (For entertainment, weather reports during the fallout conditions, news updates, and fallout monitoring) 2. A computer (Dell, HP) and laptop and charge ports throughout the basement for the occupants phones and tablets. (The computer and laptop will be for the shelter manager and his staff so they can monitor fallout radiation readings, check the status of the shelter, watch news updates from civil defense, and keep in touch with command and emergency operators) 3. Bathtubs and showers and toilets (5 each) for the occupants. The water will be recyclable throughout the shelter as the main pumps may be damaged or contaminated by fallout. Toilet water will also be recyclable, but with iodine sanitation. 4. Water fountains with the same principle as the tubs and showers. 5. EMP Shield. (Protects the entire shelter's electrical systems and telecommunications and water systems from EMP and power surges) 6. Robot assistants like WALL-E, R2-D2, C-3PO, Roomba, and 2-MB. 7. Two drones outside the shelter to monitor radiation levels and bring back data to the shelter staff. 8. Bunk beds for extra space in the basement. 9. A medical bay with X-Ray, surgery, relaxation for stress, and decontamination. 10. A study room and chapel.
you only need a radio and supplies that you needed to survive for at least two weeks no need for a laptop because it's microchips will be burned by emp
I think it’s come out that no place was ever really all that prepared for a nuclear attack aside from the govt itself. They had a fully stocked and maintained shelter in WVa, but the most I ever heard as far as preparedness for the public was larger building being declared suitable as shelters and maybe some supplies. The civil defense budget was never big enough to support the type of shelters these videos talk about. They kinda just hoped local govts covered everything themselves.
I highly doubt that most public shelters now days have kept up with min requirements. I.E. boxed supplies and ready cots...Also, you couldn't pay me enough to be a Shelter manager. Can you imagine what a pain in the ass that would be to deal with all those people?
ToddB987 Most public shelters were located near government centers and would probably would not have held many random person on the street. Most were dismantled or signs removed.
11 yr ago now, here in NJ, weh hurricane sandy. The destruction i saw put me in both awe of nature and fear for the horror a nuclear exchange would be. But that was such a small event in comparison to what a Nuc Party would be. If we do it, this planet will be finished.
if others in the shelter, begin to complain! about conditions in the shelter!? the best response to avoid is ..... ' 'it's not the end of the world you know...??!!
In the event of a nuclear exchange, most of the radioactive isotopes decay after a few weeks, except iodine-137 and Strontium-90, which have half lives of over 30 years. The main problem with nuclear war is not the blast and fallout effects, but the global famine by the total collapse of all supply chains. Literally billions of human beings would starve to death from this.
@@dilshanichathurika2506 no need we only need pepsi caps for it if the number fever didn't fail also caps aren't going to be valuable in a post nuclear world it's more like a barter trade
I know this sounds absurd and overreacting, but all cities should have some working shelters and maybe some homes. And people should know what to do in case of nuclear crisis. Just in case! You can never be too prepared
Why does this film assume that the building over your city fallout shelter was going to be left standing, or that the city water supply wasn't going to be destroyed?
the nuclear bombs at the time are unreliable and have a small ground zero and these shelters are designed for those not directly impacted by the bomb because everyone pretty much and rightly assumed that you are dead inside the destructive area unless you are deep enough
and she died from old age running from her own shadow when the only thing that killed her she couldn't run away from TIME IT'S SELF. Have faith in God and live your life. The Bible says in fear there's torment.
Public vs Private the selection is obvious. Today people that think about taking care of themselves are maligned with names “Prepper” is kind “Survivalists” are somehow evil.
Making reasonable preparations are one thing. It's quite another to be like one of the guys here in town, who stockpiled enough food and water to last him and his wife for five years in preparation for Y2K.
