Duck and Cover was a suggested method of personal protection against the effects of a nuclear weapon which the United States government taught to generations of United States school children from the late 1940s into the 1980s.

I don't like duck and covering... please remove all a-bombs from the planet to save me the hassle!

The film forgot to mention how you will be vaporized in steam if you are swimming when the bomb strikes.
I guess duck and cover doesn't work all the time

I can't believe it is taught after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The victims of those places (and the human stupidity ) should teach more than any videos. There is NO cover only if you are already 100 feet deep in a bunker and the radiation is still a factor.
This short from the Terminator 2 is seem more realistic.
That's for duck and cover kids... smile at last and hope it's only the cam's flash. If it doesn't you wouldn't smile forevermore.

Ive gotta try that. Suddenly shout DUCK AND COVER! and see if people know what to do.... if they know they would throw themselves off their bikes onto the ground to duck and cover. and stay that way until a stranger comes to pick you up

i think the point of these videos was so that your average american would believe that should a bomb fall, they would be nice and safe in a doorway or under a newspaper
I guess it beats the constant fear that you could be instantly vaporised at a moments notice, with zero chance of surviving.

I'd stand in the bushes and flash a bright light at a bunch of people and then laugh when they faceplant.

om3ga3, you are so right. This stupid film was made so long after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We knew FULL well what the bomb did to people, even our pathetic little (thank God) bombs that we dropped to end the Japanese engagement. THere was a horrific amount of photographic information about what they did. If you ever have the opportunity to rent a Japanese DVD called "Black Rain", do so. It shows you in graphic detail what it was like, during and after. This includes the many who survived, unscathed, and seemingly unscathed. It is a true lesson in what an atom bomb, even a little one megaton one, can do. Realize that the ones these idiots NOW have are just a tad bigger. The ones we used were survivable, but we didn't know what we had. Duck and cover? Only in a concrete bunker. Once you see the light, well, there goes your flesh, unless you are very far away. Best place to be is right under.
