After you use one of these weapons...think of all the chemicals, petroleum, materials that get mixed in to the environment...the land after this is deader than dead...what kind of foolish leaders would ever want to do this to their fellow man? Good leaders lead their people to happiness and glory...a handful of terrible people are responsible for the worlds problems today...there are many amongst us that possess the knowledge to improve civil engineering and the quality of life for all of us, it is the filth of pride and greed that prevents them from doing so. As a citizen of earth I would speculate that if there were little green men they would think very little of us...we don't respect ourselves enough to do better.

radiation decays according to the 10 - 7 rule for every factor of 7, radiation decreases by factor of 10 Ie after 7 hours will by 1/10 initial reading at start, 7 x 7 (49 hours, 2 days ) will be 1/100 , 7x7x7 ( 343 hours, 2 weeks) will be 1/1000 initial
WAIT!!!! starting at 2:40 and further during the movie they play the opening theme music from "Night of the Living Dead" which was released in 1968. How is this film from 1961??
Do you actually think that they composed original music for a low, low budget movie like "Night of the Living Dead"? Since there is no copyright restriction on federal materials, they just used the music from a film such as this.
Um... not for nothing but when they made this film they were still doing atmospheric testing. Which means they were causing the exact fallout that is being shown . Just saying, what do you think happened to all that fallout from nucleat tests in dry dusty Nevada? It ended up in the atmosphere as dust, mixed with moisture particles as it drifted east, and fell as rain. On crops and livestock, cities and people alike. And here is the kicker... look up what the half life of these particles is, meaning the time it takes the particle to become half as radioactive as the day it was created in a fission reaction... that is a detonated nuclear bomb. The truth is we all have Stontium 90 in our bones, and other fissile materials in our bodies from those same bombs they tested in the 1950's. Every single one of us, there is no one according to medical testing that does not.
I dont care if its fissile or not, I prefer it stays out of my bones and teeth, which is a lost cause at this point. Meaning its pretty much in everyones bones and teeth, and it is ABSOLUTELY RADIOACTIVE. And Strontium-90 is widely dispersed in the environment and the food chain from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. Period. If you ever wonder why cancer is still on the rise, you might consider the #1 culprit before we do any nuclear renossance.
_Try finding an official fallout shelter today._ *With nuclear power plants still in operation, knowing where the closest one is at all times is just important* In 1981 our Civil Defense changed over to ESDA, emergency services and disaster agency. Just in time to assist After the crash of United flight 191departing from Chicago's O'Hare Airport. By specifically operating emergency lighting generators and Manning our organizations communications van having capability of switching & repeating ground units over other frequencies or boosting low wattage signal strength to reach their home base.
As an ICU/ER/OR/Trauma RN, I can tell you.....I'm heading for any hospital's Radiology/X-Ray department. The entire unit is lead lined with concrete overlay.. That is the safest fallout shelter, in the world. Regular concrete basement structures will not protect from radiation, as concrete is porous. It helps if concrete is painted, with lead paint...lol. But that is near impossible to find. It would be better to use a buried steel shipping container, or hull of a ship turned upside down, as a fallout shelter/bunker. Those are the best. These new plastic & fiberglass bunkers are not good against concussion blasts, radiation in rainwater, or earthquakes, as they crack very easy, under pressure. You can't bury a plastic or fiberglass bunker very deep, nor deep enough to protect from radiation in soil. The weight of soil, alone, is heavy. Add rainwater/snow to it....and that plastic will crush you like a tin can, crushed. Too many ignorant people, out there, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for thin plastic bunkers, that will not withstand the pressure & weight of soil on top or surrounding it. Then you need air purification/filtration systems, water purification systems to live & stay under ground, for weeks. No one eluld survive living in a plastic/fiberglass bubble with no oxygen, for weeks. They'd suffocate. Stop and think, and do homework on bunkers you are looking to buy. Heck, that old guy in Canada, buried a bunch of old school buses, under ground...covered the windows with steel plates. That is a great bunker. Just remember....the body needs air, water, food....in that order of importance. Which one would you give up, in a cheap shelter, without filtration systems? And provide a way to use the bathroom.....lol
If you are already in a hospital then more than likely it already has a Cold war era public Fallout shelter somewhere in the basement that may be better equipped and closer to storage areas of food and water than the Radiology Department will be. The biggest problem with the Radiology department is that you are almost always still above ground and very often on an upper floor far away from the kitchens. If something happens the building could have structural damage compromising the upper floors, setting things on fire, etc. Of course the best thing is to not be in a hospital at all. As you well know during even the smallest incidents, like bad weather, hospitals are hot spots for people seeking medical attention, shelter, and drugs. :/ Everything that makes a hospital good also makes it bad because EVERYONE will be going there. :/
@@grayeaglej all that CD issued food is rotting by now. The supplies were often given out in one or two shipments but weren't aggressively rotated out or restocked after expiration dates. Of course there's always the cafeteria walk in coolers, but you better clean those out fast!
@@mr.pavone9719 The Cafeteria/kitchens were the food and water I was referring too since most hospitals have them in the basement or on a lower level which is also where any storm shelter or old bunker is likely to be, as well as storage rooms and utilities. Yes pretty much all Civil Defense supplies placed in any Cold War era bunker/shelter would have long ago been removed, but the rooms themselves and their heavy doors are almost always intact as storage or some such.
Having read some of the comments I must ask the following. Do any of you KNOW what the government told farmers to do AFTER they came out of their shelters before plowing? Simple really. Remove ALL their top soil before plowing and planting. Now you may ask, What they were to do with all that soil? Put it to one side and ignore it! What about what they were to do with a dead body while in their shelters? Well, if they had a leak, put the body over top of it of course! Now I have a personal question for all those smart guy in government. How the hell are they gonna tell those of us outside their shelters anything? They ASSUME they can use the radio or t. v. That's rather funny since the EMP from the bombs will fry them. Do you really expect the government to allow us poor fools to have anything of such quality as a hardened radio? Maybe if you had one of those old tube type ones but where are you gonna get the power to run it on? Governments are so short sighted. Don't believe me? Just have a good, UNEDITTED read of any of the treaties they've made and you'll see nothing but loop holes. Thus they have nothing to loose if they fail to meet or enforce them.
I'm an electronics guy. Your transistor radios are fine, likely to work. Tube equipment would likely have more damage because of induced plate current. Easier to fix tho.
They might be able to make it better, but some film stocks just don't hold their color well over time. If this is the best copy available, they can't correct it enough to make it look "right"
I've lived most of my life in the flash fry zone. I didn't have to worry about fallout because I was going to be part of the fallout. My plan when I lived next to a Naval base was to grab a chair and something with alcohol, climb up on the roof, and watch the greatest fireworks display ever. I just hoped those last couple seconds didn't hurt too much.

For perspective 100,000 people continued to inhabit Hiroshima after it was bombed (they didn't know any better.) Perhaps 80% suffered no decline in longevity. Just make it through the first month or so.
That wouldn't be true with thermonuclear weapons. There are about half a dozen radio isotopes with half lives of over 200,000 years that are produced by these devices. The numbers that would be used in a full scale exchange would generate enough fallout, that would then be spread by prevailing winds, to kill everyone eventually. Preppers included.
@@booklover6753 Alas your conclusions may be right. It would depend on the quantity of fallout more than longevity of half-lives though. The shorter the half-life, the more rapid the decay and higher radioactivity for a given level of the element. Uranium 238 has a 4.5 billion year half-life rendering it more suitable for machine gun bullets than atomic bombs.
@@benishborogove2692 Hi benish! The early fission devices we used were very inefficient and although devastating, the majority of the bomb's core would be blown apart before all of the uranium or plutonium could undergo fission. Oddly enough, the hydrogen bombs (which are actually two bombs in one) get about 70% of their destructive power from the much more complete fission of the uranium and plutonium contained in the devices. The fission that occurs within a fusion device is almost 100% efficient and results in a much higher yield of those highly dangerous byproducts such as cesium-137. (I don't think that any U-238 is produced in thermonuclear weapons but it is great for armor penetration. U-235 or Pu-239 are used as fisible material in the warhead) Now, you also factor in that there would be thousands of these damned things all going off in one day and their mushroom clouds reach far higher (100,000 ft.+) than those made by atomic bombs. The only natural events that carry debris that high are very large volcanic eruptions and it has been shown that the ash from those eruptions can been found worldwide in geologic strata. Good to see a reply from a thinking person instead of a conspiracy theorist. Peace and good fortune.
We would have been if the CD had not been replaced by the grossly inferior FEMA and decades of leftism hadn't eroded virtually all sense of Personal Responsibility from American Society. WooHooFlu shouldn't even be big enough to be noticed. Instead its freaking Armageddon. :(
@@grayeaglej Well a part of the reason for this is not just incompetence in our government at managing the virus, but also people who are so headstrong they can't stand the idea of distancing themselves and waiting the virus out. Some people think it's an attempt to control the population so they are defying the virus and the partial lockdown and attending parties, being careless. Shopping goes without saying, people need to buy stuff and I doubt the government has any capacity to buying stuff for ~320 million people.
@@grayeaglej Keep in mind the number of confirmed cases does not mean actual infected. Not everyone gets tested and not all data is representative of the true infected numbers.
why do so many of the U.S. civil defence films try to come across as b-grade melodramas...complete with overblown rhetoric, wooden acting and an overblown music score that belongs more to a c-grade sci fi film.
@@davelowets No... You're right... of course not... (sighs)😼Afterall, its seem as though they barely took the threat seriously enough to adequately educate, prepare or protect their own population to tell them the truth about just how screwed they'd be if the cold war ever truly heated up. So why would they bother with little touches like decent scripts, screenplay, believable acting or direction? especially on a population that they'd already written off as acceptable, though regrettable losses.
after reading these comments I can be assured that you all will die in the event. you can survive an attack but most wouldn't want to because they would rather die than be without the comforts of modern society. that is a sad way to live. The generation that made this video had the resolve to do what was needed to save lives, today state local and federal government has decided to just let you all die while using your tax money to build bunkers for themselves.
@@booklover6753 And why is that? You think they woukd destroy every square inch of the country? There will STILL be survivors on the edges of the bombs range, going through the exact same thing as in this movie.

2:18 Whew! Good thing Canada gets spared!
Canton, Ohio is marked on that map. Interesting....
I have a friend who lives there. I'll have to tell him he's doomed.
Timken, Hoover, Diebold, LTV - all were relevant industries at the time
It worked
And Now Its A Nuclear END One Way Or The Other
no
No bow ties.
Good luck
5:20 Detroit?!
Just thank what they would say if they saw a computer or I phone from this era
I think they'd be kind of expecting such advancements, but not in 60-some years. If they guessed, I'd guess they'd say it took 100-150 years.

What a cool date. My last day at work. September 5th, 2009.
This is from a small bomb
Is there a geiger counter app for our phones? I can only hope!
Sociopaths would start ranting about FREEDOM and FAKE RUSSIAN RADIATION, run out of the shelter, and select themselves out of humanity.
Lol. Probably.
Natural selection at work. We can only hope.
must of been fun living within hundreds of miles of all of the nuke tests out west.
Oh, but the government ASSURED US it was OK. Just like Covid is a Democratic hoax.
Milk was dangerous to children from iodine for years. Over a chunk of the country.
Dang!! This video is pretty scary!! I hope when the bomb does drop, I'm pissed outta my mind and straight underneath it!
I would rather be taken out by the bomb than trying to survive the after math.
I've lived most of my life in the flash fry zone. I didn't have to worry about fallout because I was going to be part of the fallout.
My plan when I lived next to a Naval base was to grab a chair and something with alcohol, climb up on the roof, and watch the greatest fireworks display ever. I just hoped those last couple seconds didn't hurt too much.

WTF?? 🙄
Why bother?
Just don't nuke each other.
Problem solved. Next.
You think governments think that clearly?
For perspective 100,000 people continued to inhabit Hiroshima after it was bombed (they didn't know any better.) Perhaps 80% suffered no decline in longevity. Just make it through the first month or so.
That wouldn't be true with thermonuclear weapons. There are about half a dozen radio isotopes with half lives of over 200,000 years that are produced by these devices. The numbers that would be used in a full scale exchange would generate enough fallout, that would then be spread by prevailing winds, to kill everyone eventually. Preppers included.
@@booklover6753 Alas your conclusions may be right. It would depend on the quantity of fallout more than longevity of half-lives though. The shorter the half-life, the more rapid the decay and higher radioactivity for a given level of the element. Uranium 238 has a 4.5 billion year half-life rendering it more suitable for machine gun bullets than atomic bombs.
@@benishborogove2692 Hi benish! The early fission devices we used were very inefficient and although devastating, the majority of the bomb's core would be blown apart before all of the uranium or plutonium could undergo fission. Oddly enough, the hydrogen bombs (which are actually two bombs in one) get about 70% of their destructive power from the much more complete fission of the uranium and plutonium contained in the devices. The fission that occurs within a fusion device is almost 100% efficient and results in a much higher yield of those highly dangerous byproducts such as cesium-137. (I don't think that any U-238 is produced in thermonuclear weapons but it is great for armor penetration. U-235 or Pu-239 are used as fisible material in the warhead) Now, you also factor in that there would be thousands of these damned things all going off in one day and their mushroom clouds reach far higher (100,000 ft.+) than those made by atomic bombs. The only natural events that carry debris that high are very large volcanic eruptions and it has been shown that the ash from those eruptions can been found worldwide in geologic strata. Good to see a reply from a thinking person instead of a conspiracy theorist. Peace and good fortune.
1961 the year I was bron
You were "bron"?
I smoke
How about EMP bombs
Software...virus...done.
What about EMP bombs? What do you think a nuke DOES?
@4:50 if it hit St. Louis that would solve a lot of our problems now days
If it hit the ghetto hoods, it would solve ALL the problems.
You were attacked by alien 👽
Pfff
Pff 2 thirds o

Come on corovirus, we are ready for you buddy
We would have been if the CD had not been replaced by the grossly inferior FEMA and decades of leftism hadn't eroded virtually all sense of Personal Responsibility from American Society. WooHooFlu shouldn't even be big enough to be noticed. Instead its freaking Armageddon. :(
@@grayeaglej Well a part of the reason for this is not just incompetence in our government at managing the virus, but also people who are so headstrong they can't stand the idea of distancing themselves and waiting the virus out. Some people think it's an attempt to control the population so they are defying the virus and the partial lockdown and attending parties, being careless. Shopping goes without saying, people need to buy stuff and I doubt the government has any capacity to buying stuff for ~320 million people.
@@grayeaglej Keep in mind the number of confirmed cases does not mean actual infected. Not everyone gets tested and not all data is representative of the true infected numbers.
@cody austin My Generation? Im a Millennial. O.o And what is the "Atomic Attack Film"?
@@rixille Nor do the '99% survived so fake' people get it.
why do so many of the U.S. civil defence films try to come across as b-grade melodramas...complete with
overblown rhetoric, wooden acting and an overblown music score that belongs more to a c-grade sci fi film.
You think they were going to spend money on a Hollywood production?? 🤔
😂🤣
@@davelowets No... You're right... of course not... (sighs)😼Afterall, its seem as though they barely took the threat seriously enough to adequately educate, prepare or protect their own population to tell them the truth about just how screwed they'd be if the cold war ever truly heated up. So why would they bother with little touches like decent scripts, screenplay, believable acting or direction? especially on a population that they'd already written off as acceptable, though regrettable losses.
after reading these comments I can be assured that you all will die in the event. you can survive an attack but most wouldn't want to because they would rather die than be without the comforts of modern society. that is a sad way to live. The generation that made this video had the resolve to do what was needed to save lives, today state local and federal government has decided to just let you all die while using your tax money to build bunkers for themselves.
And the flaw in their selfishness is: who will restock their energy, food and water? From where?
You DO realize that you could simply move 10 miles away, and you would be completely fine, right??
5g
5g what? Don't tell me ur one of them 5g conspiracy morons
04:33 But if they DID hit St Louis with a nuclear weapon, how could we tell?
ALL the people would be black?

Gee mister! Everybody's white!

Oh snap nigga
Nice, huh?
@shwat2013 As he should be...
This program does not exist today. You are on your own.
Hydrogen bombs made the subject moot.
@@booklover6753 And why is that? You think they woukd destroy every square inch of the country? There will STILL be survivors on the edges of the bombs range, going through the exact same thing as in this movie.
ussr for the win
Nope... 👎 That place is pussy garbage. 🗑
