The atomic bomb is very devastating and causes a lot of destruction. During the Cold War with threats of atomic bombs being dropped, what were the kids supposed to do if one was actually dropped? Duck and Cover. I found this video clip from 1951 that told kids what to do if an atomic bomb goes off.
The monkey dies!!! How horrible. I feel like that wouldn't have really helped. Just Duck and Cover? Really?
ReplyDeleteYeah...it really wouldn't help. At all.
ReplyDeleteMy mom said that when she was in school, the teachers still taught all the kids to duck and cover under their desks. According to her, they were told to do this when they "saw the bright light" (from the bomb). But, by that time, I think it'd be too late...
