This 1954 film from the U.S. Federal Civil Defense Administration stresses the importance of the Civil Defense programs and the need to be prepared for an atomic attack through organization, training and rehearsals, and testing. The film opens with a shot of a hydrogen bomb mushroom cloud billowing in the sky, followed by a shot of a newspaper announcing that Russia has detonated an H-bomb. Viewers see signs of the atomic age and dawn of the Cold War nuclear shelter and air raid rehearsal signs are plenty. Air raid sirens sound during a drill (01:25). The film shows two people driving a convertible, a man in an office, and a man welding. People rush to the air raid shelters during the exercise. A nurse shows people how to administer first aid (02:12). Fire trucks pull up to a burning building. Men load supplies into a Civil Defense rescue truck (02:40). Broadcasters read updates over the air. A woman takes a small hand-help radiation detector and turns it on (03:32). A civil defense official directs traffic on a highway. Civil Defense men carry a wounded person on a stretcher at a makeshift hospital camp (04:10). Footage shows a tornado then the destruction caused by the detonation of one of the atomic bombs in Japan (appears to be Hiroshima). An aerial view shows a compound where structures are tested against the force of an atomic blast at Eniwetok Atoll (05:00). Viewers see buildings and structures that have been damaged from the test blasts. Men build units for a test city at the Nevada Test Site in Nevada’s Nye County (06:41). Steel girders are placed to create a bridge for a test. A man puts a dummy into a car. Men fasten different cover materials onto boards for testing the materials against the power of an atomic blast (07:57). Viewers see some of the different instruments used to collect data during a test blast. An aerial view shows the test “city” prior to detonation (08:44). Observers, scientists, and technicians stand around “News Knob” to watch the test detonation, while military personnel dig in foxholes closer to the blast site. An atomic bomb is detonated (09:40), and footage shows the soldiers peek out from their foxholes as the mushroom cloud develops. Footage shows the blast tear apart buildings and structures. The smoke ring fades into the sky. A scouting party flies in a helicopter over the center of the test site, taking in the destruction. A radiological safety team measures radiation from a helicopter (11:48). Troops move in toward ground-zero with Geiger counters to measure levels of radiation. Viewers see the wreckage of cars and buildings as men examine the various objects still present following the blast. The film concludes with a shot of an H-bomb detonation in the Pacific and the silhouettes of people watching the formation of a mushroom cloud.

Amazing that the orchestra could play so well during that test with all that destruction and chaos all around.
It was recorded afterwards
@@victorfrankenstein8005 I kind of figured that!
And the Mossadegh coup on the front page to boot....lol
My grandfather watched this with me and told me that his elementary school classes practiced "duck and cover" in the corner of the classroom away from the largest windows. The teacher would cover the windows with the drapes that were also used for darkening the room during movies. He said that the teachers probably kept the children in their cover positions long enough to wipe away their tears because the closest military bases were close enough that none of them would survive the blast. It must have been heartbreaking for those teachers to know that, regardless of what they might do, their students would die if the Russians ever attacked.
That was true of any city with over 6000 people. A nuclear war between the USSR and USA would have left very few survivors on the east or west coasts.
I remember all of that too. Air Raid Drills in AK. Bases and Russia WAY too close!

Can you explain the significance of this??? When??
@@ExpertAssass1n I found this myself thru [Mr. Pool] aka [John McAfee] along with another about fallout I took to be prepared. When anytime now
@@Orgasmatron76 I came from Mr.Pool too, just confused on if this means literally to evacuate or evacuate XRP. According to Twitter, either Sept 3rd or Dec 3rd will be big😅
@@ExpertAssass1n Nothing to do w XRP. Stock up and have a plan. Stay out of big cities.
@@7trumpets608 thank you 🙏. Do you have any advice for the potential Outages? Is there any way/device to prevent power from going out?

Ah,
The good old days....
We were so worried about nuclear destruction and all the while, we were hell-bent on laying the foundation for what is now our greatest existential threat.
See my comment above. Everyone not white Protestant Christian is "the enemy" to the US, than and now. That's what's not talked about. If that makes the US sound like a loony loose cannon of a rogue nation, well, you're starting to get it.
"Let's face it" - We're screwed !
The soldiers were not harmed. Really? Most all contracted cancer as a result of this exposure. Its still a scourge in the land.
Thanks Mr. Dr. Scientist. pfft
Wow, I didn't know they had literal Block Wardens. Another beautiful word from the German language that made it past 1945.
Gotta love those cops, urging us to speed up. Don't see that every day.
Let's face it! I remember being puzzled by the advice to HIDE UNDER KINDLING (a wooden school desk) in order to protect myself from a nuclear fireball.
Well shortsighted, but like soundwaves more material between you and the radiation is better than none, assuming you survive the explosion. Also, why for 70 years this device has never been used in anger.
"Oh mama, look at that li.."💥
Awesome video
Luckily for Indiana Jones, refrigerators were included in the mockups.
Proof that geniuses and experts can have unfathomable lack of wisdom and prudence...
The US post WWII up through the present day has emphasized technical knowledge while stunting education in the humanities. It's always been how to wipe out anyone not just like us, not whether it's ethical to wipe out anyone.
Proof you don’t have the slightest notion of strategy or game theory. Would you rather only Hitler have the nuclear bomb?
Three words: Mutually Assured Destruction
Why “wipe someone out” some nation who can easily wipe you out immediately after?
Study some Game Theory?
To Alex Carter,: Who in the US gov. has emphasized technical knowledge over the humanities ? As opposed to China or theocracy one can choose to study whatever one wishes ie we have freedom of inquiry FTMP and if you don’t defend it it will be usurped. It only appears that technical knowledge has been emphasized because it is so powerful
Yes students in the USA routinely show excellance in math and science every year since whatever year sputnik was.Youre right!@alexcarter8807
@@alexcarter8807 and the Soviets are excelling as I type... oh wait...
And they had the bomb too.
The survivors would later go on to become eloi and morlocks.
"All clear..."
I got a "blast" from this
Yes, this film was a blast from the past! 🎆☢ It sorta blew my mind! 🤯
What would I do? I'd run out and catch it. Resistance is futile.
I remember the air raid drills in kindergarten.
Reed Hadley narrating?
At last someone who knows something about the history of Hollywood
@@davidhague3270 never understood why he didn't become a major star. He could act, was a good looking guy and of course had that big voice
A portion of this piece appears in Trinity and Beyond.
That's a great movie -- made by our friend Peter Kuran. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_and_Beyond
Game over man game over
Man i wish i could go back in time
Keep the plebs quiet .. don't tell them ....
Google Nevada proving ground as a movie location and cancer deaths
Was that apple 1 or apple 2
☢🎆I was told as a child (1970s & 80s)that it was possible that I would be instant vaporized and/ or radiation sickness.? So duck & cover probably won't help. So how did the people in the film not get turned into toast? 🤔🙃
Scott Miller instant vaporization is a result of being within the fireball zone. The men you see were safe outside the total blast radius. After the majority of hellfire has died down, they are safe to investigate the damage. Everything else is long term injury those initiating the tests won't be held responsible for.
"Safe" if your idea of safety is walking into a highly radioactive area...
Nothing like a Cold War propaganda film to raise your spirits. ☢
Everyone assumes instant or lingering death from an atomic exchange. Not true. While it'll suck mightily, after 2 to 4 weeks, radiation drops to survivable levels. That is why fallout shelters, stocked with food and water, were encouraged then. The bigger problem is infrastructure, food transport, services, AFTER an exchange.
The isotopes produced by thermonuclear warheads have half lives of over 200,000 years and will eventually spread worldwide. Doomsday weapons.
Insanity on parade.
It is the way of the insane to act like they're insane.
Your going to guy what difference does it make.
