Duck & cover tactics against nuclear blast?

Does anyone know of websites documenting the proper procedure for this? I remember reading about this a few months ago but I lost the website. Did Google for a while but came up with no results.

in the off chance you're actually expecting to learn something from that propaganda crap that will surely get you killed ...
I hope you're writing about how ineffective it would be 😉

That was one of those "feel good" tactics that did nothing but make people feel more secure. South Park covered it well in their volcano episode.
 
Look, the only way you can keep yourself safe from a nuclear blast is to (a)not be there when it hits, or (b)build a reinforced-concrete explosion-proof bunker with a foot-thick lead lining inside, and live in it forever.

But why are you so concerned? Know something we don't?
 
If something nuclear went of, I wouldn't duck and cover... I'd run towards the blast as fast as I could so that it'll end me quick. 😛
 
You know what they would do? They would come to my elementary school with films to show me how to protect myself from a nuclear-fsck-holocaust. They would show this giant nuclear-fscking-bomb just blowing the sh!t out of everything. Goats and monkeys flying everywhere. The windows of the elementary school blown out, the teacher banged up against the fscking blackboard. But there were the children... hiding safely under their desks.

The best part is when he comments that the WOODEN desks are supposed to save you 🙂

Oh man I saw that episode for the first time last night when it was on Comedy Central. Couldn't believe it was an hour and a half long! Made my day.

Oh how I love Comedy Central's secret stash, if only to hear it without the constant loud and irritating BEEEEPs.
Good act, too.

He's coming to my college sometime this month. I wonder if he's just going to do the same act he did on Comedy Central.



I loved his bit about the duct tape, too. That whole fiasco seems almost like a way for the government to gauge just how scared and gullible the population was. I was working at Walmart at the time, and we were completely cleaned out of all duct tape and plastic film that same day.
I imagine the people putting out that report saw the reaction, and just started rubbing their hands together in evil, plotting glee. "Heehee, the people believe us! They hang on to every word! They're terrified."

Good. Good.

LMFAO!

That was awesome.

 
If you're in the middle of the blast, yes, you're f***ed. But if you're on the outskirts of it, ducking and covering could actually save your life. Of course you're never going to have time to actually duck and cover against the nukes that are most likely to be used in today's world. Cold war era, yeah, it would be pretty obvious with ICBMs raining down and warnings could go out to get people to seek shelter. Of course the smaller "suit case" bombs more likely to be used would most likely make ducking and covering more practical yet there would be no warning and thus useless.
