Here is something that occasionally appears on American TV. I don't know if its also done on Canadian TV-- and it probably not on Chhinese TV. But I believe most Americans are familiar with it.
You're watching TV and suddenly the sound is interrupted by this message which scrolls across the top of the screen (with sound):
This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. The broadcasters in your area, with voluntary cooperation with the FCC and other authorities, have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of an emergency. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have been instructed where to tune in your area for news and official information. This concludes this test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
Yes, I do remember that warning, or one very similar. There were also sirens that warned of a nuclear attack.
I think the first time I heard the siren I was 5 or 6 years old, my first day in kindergarten.
Now my being 81 y/o, you can tell how long ago it has been.
Did you have "Shelter Drills" in school?
Where you had to get under the desks in your classroom and get under the desk...which was supposed to protect you from a nuclear attack?
Never saw or heard anything like that in my life, but when I was a little kid during WW2 I did hear the occasional test lf the city's air raid sirens.
That's a similar story to mine, but we never got nuclear attack warnings.
We never had to hide under our desks. In fact we didn't have any kind of drills for wartime problems, like making us leave classroom to go to the basement. But we DID get "fire drills" to line up and march outside.
We had two drills related to possible nuclear attacks. One was the Drop Drill. If the teacher said "Drop!" we had to immediately hide under our desks on our knees and cover our heads. That was for use if the teacher saw a nuclear explosion off in the distance. The other drill was a Shelter Drill where we all sat under the windows with our backs to the wall. That was for use if there was a warning that a nuclear attack was imminent.
The good old days!
Like any of that was going to save your little butts
Way back when I first heard about American kids hiding under their desks I could hardly believe it. That might have had some benefit during WW2, but sure as hell not after Hiroshima.
I don't ever remember doing duck and cover and I started grade school in 1968
No kidding.
We also had air raid sirens that sounded at 10:00 a.m. on the last Friday of the month. That was everywhere, not just in the schools. We were not supposed to do anything when the sirens sounded. They were just tests.
It was in the late 50s and early 60s. By 1968 that stuff was over.
I did just see something about earthquake take cover drills with a picture of one at one of our local high schools in 1989. That is many years after I graduated and I do not remember having any earthquake take cover drills when I was in school. Probably because the first major earthquake we had that I experienced was in 1971, my last year of high school.
those are good desks
they had bigger bombs by then so duck and cover didn't mean squat. Those bombs would vaporize those steel desks
And the buildings where they were located.
yep....steel and concrete are no match for plutonium
Are they strong enough for The Dead Poets Society?
Absolutely. And I still remember everyone of the drills when the sirens went off. For years later when I heard a siren I got my stomach in my throat. It took a long time to get over the fear of hearing them.
When I was finally at the point that I didn't instantly look for a table or a shelter when I heard the siren, I moved to No Virginia, and the first time I heard the very familiar siren wailing, I felt the same fear. However, while the siren was not to warn of impending nuclear attack, it was to warn of an impending tornado attack.
A'n I still p'd me pents.
Another interesting quiz might just be famous quotes (not necessarily limited to movies). You might even just list the quote with a picture.
Or even without a picture. It might be fun.
And when composing the quiz, please keep in mind that: England expects every man to do his duty!
Also when composing the quiz, remember that there are more things in heaven and earth then are dreamt of in your philosophy!!!
Thank you William.
I already did that.

I sent my guesses in
We had hide under the desk drills in grade school. Would not have done much good in
the temporary building or portable classrooms
Sent in.
I believe the reason for ducking under the desks was for the initial heat flash, the desks, after all, back then were made of steel and the tests they did showed that they did give some protection.
If you saw the flash it was already too late, ducking under the desk would've been for an imminent attack.
Won;t protect you from all those x and gamma rays aiming for you
It might also depend upon how far away the school was from "Ground Zero"...?
I've got a feeling I should have made this article about school desk shelters. LOL Just kidding. I usually allow friendly off topic conversations on my articles - after all, any friendly conversation is a positive thing.
Don't make it about school desk shelters!!! Because if you do, then people will start talking about . . . movies!
That'll be okay with me.
Bingo!
Whatever it takes to stay on the Front (Home) Page for more than a day or two.
I was hoping to say something very mean, but unfortunately I couldn't think of anything really nasty to say!
