I saw this on tv and couldn't believe it. Imagine they thought this would actually protect them?

It looks pretty damn funny.

Thanks for that Skylace

I'm pretty sure I've seen this before. Very funny. I especially liked the bit about being careful about covering exposed flesh.

If you see a flash and you're close enough, you won't have to worry about exposed flesh unless you're wearing a lotion with SPF 1,000,000.

They had clips of this in "the Atomic Cafe" ... an awesome little gem filled with "atomic" clips ... It's worth a look if you can find it ... you tube has some clips ...

I remember doing "duck and cover" drills as a kid here in Florida... I think they evolved into tornado drills.

That siren is just horrible! They used those same horns in Illinois for tornado warnings ...

Nice one, Marella.

It's comforting to know that the A-bomb is only as dangerous as slipping on a bar of soap in the shower.

I wonder what came of those solders who received a mouthful of dust. "Temporary hair loss," I would imagine.
