Gotta love how the "deadly radioactive fallout is imminent" warning could be sounded by some poor bastard tasked to run down a road out in the open and blow a pissy little whistle as the deadly dust falls around him
Where did they find this mini-me Winston Churchill? In the end, everyone DIES. England is a tiny country, and there's not an inch of land that would not be obliterated.
In the early-mid 60s, nuclear war actually wouldn’t be as destructive. Most nukes were carried in bombers that were usually unescorted, making them big, juicy targets for fighters. Soviet tactical nukes were more focused on the continent, and their longer-range missiles were more focused on hitting the United States. And barring all of that, Soviet equipment was unreliable, meaning missiles would fail left and right and could be destroyed on the ground before launch. Beyond that era, though, yes, the UK would be thoroughly-fucked.
The leading sources of drowning deaths inside the home for small children are from buckets of water, bathtubs, and toilets. Sand is not as useful as water in a survival situation, but the risk to small children is more severe if buckets of water are left laying around. Buckets of water could also become stagnant, or allow for the breeding of mosquitoes. Sand is definitely the better option for fire extinguishing. This is true for untrained individuals who are unaware that water can make some types of bomb fires worse when applied incorrectly. Some types of incendiary bombs must be extinguished by sprays of water, to exhaust the fuel source, and throwing a bucket of water on them directly would cause the fire to spread. Your post should be the top comment.
This is absolutely raging inducing! I’m at the point in the film with the current bulletin is explaining about the different types of alert and the signals, the sirens, the maroon… All of those and what it all means I think perhaps a large amount of the information suggested here would be absolutely useless back then and especially today same with protect and survive. Don’t even try and get me started on our duck and cover… Perhaps the most idiotic, inane bit of civil defense mendacity To be committed to film. It isn’t and tell your Watching and listening to this and you realize you’re not talking about Ward but nuclear war. And this is a number of years, when this film was produced, after unleashing nuclear hell over in Japan… Anyone who could look at the aftermath of that, the people who were evaporated instantly and the only thing left was a permanent shadow bird into the ground or to the side of a building or a step. The people who survived but were horrifically burned, set of them had the pattern of the clothing they were wearing that day permanently burned into their skin… The CD effects of radiation sickness all is it anyone who sees that and still thinks nuclear war is a good idea is a sick bastard in my opinion It takes a special kind of evil Fuckery to sit there and watch this and know that if this is going on for real it was because somebody somewhere who probably will be not hurt at all because they are well protected decided to just push the button or make that call however it is one starts a war of these freaking sirens and nonsense or nothing but empty Meaning less pantomime, besides that… Who the hell would want to survive a nuclear blast? Everything I’ve ever heard tell about it it’s fucking awful. And for what? A pile of ashes and cockroaches? So you have one stupid douche bag sitting over in the country somewhere and another equally stupid douche bag sitting someplace else and they’re having a disagreement about something and they can’t work it out so they just say screw it all and here come the nukes… There’s no winners here nothing there’s nothing to be gained from any of this and the siren warning people to take cover yes it’s a type how futile it all truly is… v 
HELLO KAREN I see that you are ramping up your antics once again. A I tought that TH-cam has really EXPOSED PEOPLE LIKE YOU. So I left you a reply to your comment about GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR and the possibilities for YOUR PERSONAL SURVIVAL. Please be ever so kind as to read it very carefully and thoroughly. Now my dear, please stop all of your unnecessary RANTING and chill out. Have a very lovely day. Tis is not.
Instead of blasting out this moronic pub and hollywood movie shaped world view better start to use your computer for reading and educating yourself about things you obviously dont know much about.
The biggest joke about all of these films isn't even the advice they give and the veracity thereof, it's the air of hope they give. It's the whole 'Together we can overcome this, we can win, we can survive and rebuild'. No. No we can not. And we will not. A nuclear attack on any western power will lead directly to an exchange sufficiently large to cause total societal collapse. There will not be a friendly neighborhood block warden coming along giving people geiger checks. There will not be doctors coming in to treat the wounded and sick, there will not be rescuers to dig survivors out of rubble. There will only be looters and rioters. There will not be just one bomb; each city targeted will be hit dozens of times. There will be little, if any, warning given to the public; if warning exists at all it will only be amongst the highest echelons of government and be used to launch retaliatory ICBMs. Said warning till only be a few minutes' duration; SLBM warheads could go from leaving their launch tube to detonating above a coastal city(IE Washington, DC) in a matter of seconds and could hit a city as far inland as Nashville within 5-10 minutes. As for what it takes to launch a nuke...Vladimir Putin. Look no further than Vladimir Putin. He is just the sort of person to launch, and what will make him launch is desperation, a 'If I can't win this NOBODY will win this' mindset.
Interesting that the body language of the presenter is seemingly at odds with his otherwise carefully moderated voice pattern, calm manner, timing and tone.
At one time, being calm and collected was considered very important even if you’re scared spitless. It’s still true I’m military, fire, police, and EMS today. It’s what you do.
@@nathanjustus6659 - I can appreciate your point there. I've known a few people involved in simillar backgrounds as your own. I've found that it is those who have a better grasp of their role in shall we say, tense situations seem to be those who can and do keep their calm, at least outwardly despite the fact that inwardly they maybe just as affected by the circumstances as those they are trying to help. I tend not to play poker with these people. I just thought it remarkable that the body language that the presenter in this film was employing seemed so at odds with the calm, "this is the way it is" attitude reflected in the speech pattern and tone. There is another simillar film(of course there is) produced by the U.S. I think their presenter was the Canadian Actor Glenn Ford? who's body language and speech pattern was very simillar if not identical even though ten years and the Atlantic ocean separated these two.
Government propaganda of the time, not to mention things have changed so much since the 1960's, if we were to be in the mist of a Nuke attack now there would be no need to worry, we would all be dead in a day or two if we were unlucky enough to survive the initial blast.
@@markwalder7595 I've read that nuclear weapons have gotten more...."tactical". Meaning smaller and more precise. If that is the case, fallout shelters would probably be more practical than ever before. I could be wrong of course.
The film is from 1964, at that time the largest ever created bombs were already build and ready in the arsenals. Since then the number of bombs as well as their explosive power has only decreased. So I agree, such a shelter would work even better today.
@@sonyxperiasmk They were so big because targeting systems were rudimentary. Modern nukes can be more-accurately targeted, meaning there’s no need to have huge multi-megaton yields. And even then, I don’t see nukes making it to the 2040s. Rapid advancements in hypersonic weaponry that can hit targets even more accurately AND much quicker will make nukes an unnecessarily-destructive anachronism best used for extraterrestrial defense.
love the man calmly and carefully parking his car

I am white-washing my windows today.
It certainly keeps the need to wash them down
Yes, white wash the windows which will be destroyed by blast and leave you vulnerable to a second nuclear strike
You know what would be better for putting out fires? Sand. It would save a lot of water.
