Boy oh boy do I remember those air raid sirens and drills! My Grandfather was an Air Raid Warden! It was quite scary when the sirens went off at night!
Who cares. In a nuclear attack, 90% of those living or working in major cities would be dead within the first half hour, with 90% of the survivors dead within a week. Even in rural areas, the chance of survival is less than 25%, again with the majority of those dead within a week or two.
Actually, on September 11, 2001 they showed themselves masters in self-organization, as long as they were not working for the Giuliani Administration (which thought that one of the Twin Towers was a fine place for emergency HQ after someone else attacked it i 1993). They showed themselves again during a blackout. The 2020 riots were a disgrace...but for some reason the cops were more interested in kettling protestors than keeping looters away from Fifth Avenue.
If you want to know what is more realistic response by citizens , watch the 5 minute nuclear attack scene from The Day After ( looting , trampling over each other , car accidents trying to flee )

Now the real challenge would be doing this at night. You can think I’m crazy but nukes don’t always have to strike during the day like in video games, movies and other things.
I like how this clip starts with a short shot of a happy, pretty girl showing off her new hat for the camera - before the subject of nuclear annihilation is brought up.
Mike B in the video they where there to make sure the drill worked out right in reality the cops would still get people to the shelters like they have to and then they can help themselves
@@markkrause4407 Sorry if you think the question was stupid, but nuclear war scenarios called for numerous odd behaviors. For example did you know that if a nuclear strike was confirmed, federal prison guards were supposed to mow down prisoners in their cells? It was though to be more 'humane' to shoot them all rather than have them dying of starvation or radiation. The other assumed danger was such an attack would somehow allow the prisoners to escape, or the warden might throw open the prison gates and set them free feeling guilty for locking them up at such a time.
Shots of the empty streets were used in the Hollywood film, "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" after the aforementioned Beast had come ashore and was wreaking havoc in NYC. This necessitated Civil Defense to evacuate parts of Manhattan.
People are no longer being given instructed what to do...there used to be bomb shelters and air raid sirens...those were repurposed as tornado shelters and tornado sirens...the ones that werent dispensed with...now they have no signs up anywhere telling you where to go in cities...people should head underground and stay there for 30 days...all emergency supplies should be kept in your basement and if there is time everyone should go home at the first sign of nuclear war...all store owners should be prepared to shelter customers in their basements...it is inadequate in most cases but books with instructions on what to do should be part of your emergency supplies

Wow. Great glimpses of what NYC was once like. A drill like this could never take place today in NYC because they would have to explain it in 70 different languages first. NYC has deteriorated so much over the past 15 years which is a real shame because at one point it had really turned itself around, but that’s when there was a Republican as mayor.
going into shelter will do fuck all, if an atomic bomb was to happen they'd all die within seconds nothing would save them. the only reason they taught them duck and hide was to give them a slither of hope that all is well.
This isn't strictly true. There is lots of research to show that underground shelters would have been quite effective against the yields of the bombs being produced during the 1950's. The jacket covering is to prevent two things; Firstly, the gamma radiation which is exposed during the blast can be largely stopped by any thin material (look up the 'leaves of Hiroshima') and secondly, a large number of casualties in the blast would have been those injured by flying debris, usually glass, caused by the initial shock wave. Any sort of protection from flying material would have protected the skin and reduced injuries.
What’s the point of running to the shelter? Eventually you will die due to radiation poisoning and painful burns whereas with the blast you vaporize right away and avoid the pain and suffering.
Why does it seem since they really didn’t sound sirens for tornados back in the cause the all clear signal is also the alert signal so cause it seems like when there was an attack everyone will take shelter and when it clears it will do the all all clear but there is a tornado and the people don’t know that and there was nothing to warn them
model 5s would not be remotely loud enough for a city like New York. Given an average Manhattan background noise of 70-85 decibels, a Model 5 has a sound "loss per distance doubled" of 12 decibels on average in a city, actually any siren in a city has that loss. At 100 feet, the rating for a Model 5 single tone is 113 decibels. Given the Federal signal equation above, the sound would already be at only 77 decibels at 400 feet... in order to be 100% effective they would have to be mounted practically at street light level, which many in other cities were. Baltimore, MD, for example had model 5s in the suburbs of the city and firehouses. Never on rooftops higher than 5 stories. Those rooftops were reserved for the 11 thunderbolts that were placed on the higher rooftops that overlooked the city. 11 thunderbolt 1000s, 3 of them jailbar, 50 model 5s, and 17 foster steam sirens.
Mostly in the 50s and early 60s , the Cold War. As a child, I lived through all of the school drills, the preparations of our basement as a shelter with enough provisions in case we had to live down there, and hearing those frightening sirens as practice drills and praying the next time we heard them it was not the real thing. We lived about 5 miles outside Washington, DC which was considered ground zero for a nuclear strike or an attack of any kind. We lived a block off the main highway and there were signs posted that read "In the event of enemy attack this highway will be closed to all traffic except civil defense and military."
Not sure about the outdoor drill but I do know for a fact that NYC public schools still performed nuclear attack drills well into the 1970s. The signal in school was repeated 3 or 4 blasts on sort of a horn sound signal .......we quickly lined up in rows next to our desks and went into the hallway where we would drop to the floor and face the wall with hands clamped around the back of the neck.
👉 And where did those "well trained wardens" at 0:33 magically appear from in response to an air raid siren? Those civil defense films were total bullsh*t, and I suspect most people knew it.
@@markkrause4407 .. Nope. Went through a phase of trying to figure how to survive a nuclear war, but my work took me to Germany for a few years and I dropped the whole survivalist thing.
Man I remember those days. I even had to go through CIVIL DEFENSE TRAINING as a teenager. The thing about it was that everyone really cooperated with the authorities and took cover. No riots or looting. We were facing the distinct possibility of ANNIHILATION. I really regret that I am not a scientist so I can invent a time machine and go back in time to live in those days once again. Nowadays people in general are extremely selfish and don't care about anything. Today's PEOPLE are just simply SHEEP that are being lead to their slaughter. They don't have any will or ability to seek out the truth and to resist a corrupt government. They are CONTROLLED BY THE MEDIA AND THE INTERNET. Yes I would love to go back in time where there are no internet, social media PLATFORMS, Karens and ILL MANNERED PEOPLE who are heavily addicted to their cellphones. You know what? Maybe we need to have a GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR. Just to SHOCK people back to reality.
anyone actually think they actually believed they were going to get nuked, Nope they didn't so why did every being filmed do it as one, Propaganda film people, Syracuse had a couple of those drills may be three. One of them I was in the city back in the day. ether you just stood there, backed up to a building wall, stayed in side & shop around, Or out & away from the city area You just went about your day. The moms & dads of those days actually were vary concerned. Seems the word Russia was being spoken where ever one was at, But then Vietnam was the new in word & Johny & Jimmy grew up & they sent him & all the other Jim's & johns away to fight a war. No more nuke after that.
Jim Vet Apparently you weren't around during The Cuban Missile Crisis! You could taste your own demise! The Cold War was no joke! I had to undergo Civil Defense training with FDNY. We even had our own Civil Defense Fire Trucks! I still remember my First Aid Classes and Emergency Room Training! But I very grateful that I took that training! It came in handy during Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. You see we were trained to survive without government assistance. In fact we were taught the entire Constitution in order to restore the government. Everyone was a prepper back then! I am always prepared for anything even ARMAGEDDON!

I love any kind of footage of old New York City
I miss it
Are you kidding me? Today, if this happened, there would be absolute anarchy in Manhattan, with millions running each other over to get to shelter.
And I'll bet there would be those who would tell the police to shove it and ignore any instructions ..... yea it would be pure pandemonium.
So thats why NORAD Warns Us Late Like 30 seconds before the bomb Detnates
rangers199487 are you kidding me In manhattan no one would give a shit xD
So true! I want to move away next year, partly because I don't want to be in NY during a disaster, or war.
Shelters are meaningless they just become trap zones for the people...
Boy oh boy do I remember those air raid sirens and drills! My Grandfather was an Air Raid Warden! It was quite scary when the sirens went off at night!
WHO ELSE FINDS THIS VERY INTERESTING
I MEAN JUST IMAGINE IF WE HAD THESE TODAY WOULDN'T BE CRAZY
I know! Happiest times of my childhood were having to run to hide from possible atomic/nuclear/hydrogen bomb attacks!
Today they would start looting and fighting. While snap chatting ....
SO TRUE!!!

such a system the masses to safety has never been more needed in our history now its sad that your quite right

Nowadays people would whip the phones out and record it
Selfies with the mushroom cloud!!
Well this IS a video
EMP would end all selfies / phone in that area.
If you want to know what is more realistic response by citizens , watch the 5 minute nuclear attack scene from The Day After ( looting , trampling over each other , car accidents trying to flee )
i can't believe i was alive then....and am still alive
Love to see that drill happened today. All those cabs, would have been stolen when the drivers can back up.

We did air raid drills in the early 60s in elementary school.
I like how this clip starts with a short shot of a happy, pretty girl showing off her new hat for the camera - before the subject of nuclear annihilation is brought up.
So the cops were just supposed to stand around waiting to get vaporized?

@@beachservers8528 It scares me that he had to be told.
Well, if a nuke hit the city, if the blast, fire and all didnt kill you the radiation will soon enough

@@mikeb1149 No , I did not, what is your source ?

My dad was in the CD with helmet and badge. This drill involved much beer.

Could you imagine coordinating something like this today? We can't even get Americans to wear a goddamn piece of cloth because "MUH FREEDOM!"
I wonder how conspiracy theorists would try and say NYC being wiped off the map via nuclear bomb was fake and planned.
I wonder if New York City had any Chrysler Bell Victory sirens, Thunderbolts, and Model 5/7's with the HOR's
Wow. Great glimpses of what NYC was once like. A drill like this could never take place today in NYC because they would have to explain it in 70 different languages first.

I would like to see them try to do this today...that would be a site to see ha
this reminds me of Godzilla 1954 where everyone is picked up n moved by the army far away n the lights in the city r still on
Way way way cool thank you for the upload I enjoyed civil defense things very much
How are the jackets supposed to help the kids?
Julian Vollan studiedies from Hiroshima show that if you don't cover yourself then you get burns
going into shelter will do fuck all, if an atomic bomb was to happen they'd all die within seconds nothing would save them. the only reason they taught them duck and hide was to give them a slither of hope that all is well.
Julian Vollan try not to take a glampse at the blast
fallout from the blast

0:20 WOW!!!is that a model 5T?
Follow Bert The Turtle when your inside a shelter
New York needs to practice this routine again
The 1950’s sound so awesome I just wish oppression and racism wasn’t so hard back then relatively
The sirens is the model 5t and a Hor super sirex
If only we could have a protocol today for such emergencies... that is if people would even react properly
What’s the point of running to the shelter? Eventually you will die due to radiation poisoning and painful burns whereas with the blast you vaporize right away and avoid the pain and suffering.
time to recommend people this :)
That would NEVER happen in this day and age!!!! Can you say CHAOS???!!!

This is what happened when some guy without a mask sneezed while crossing the street.
I know their coats will protect those kids! Just like hiding under desks protected us, LOL!
0:22 and 1:31 siren is an HOR Siro-Drone
Ugh model 5
HOR Super Sirex.
Look clean the city was!
good luck if tried today, nobody would shelter except maybe the homeless

With SLBM only 10 minutes from launch to flash. No time to go to any shelter etc..
1:06 I'll see you in heaven kids! :)
HA! Try that now....the laughter won't stop for awhile.
Isn't that a federal signal model 5 siren?
Hey it's a federal signal model 5 or 7
Is that a Chrysler siren in the background or a thunderbolt
Sirex
duck, and cover!

Y know how parents say to get off the iPads and stuff? Well if something like this happens we would all die
Wonder how many people in the comments know that is is a DRILL? Probably not many
i agree
Meanwhile in Hawaii...
Today...
Looting, Burning, Jogging, and Mayhem.
What's bad that those innocent people are attacked
This is sad today's schools can't even keep calm like this for a stupid fire drill
