I was a kid when the Cuban missile crisis was raging and that is Captain Kangaroo compared to what is happening now. If you don't have weeks worth of food and water stored and firearms to keep it you are way behind the curve. For those saying I'm fear mongering, yea ok.
Me too! Had to “ hunker” in the school hallway under my Dads USMC wool blanket with a water bottle for 10-15 minutes a day—- NOLA
Actually Jefferson Parish school— what a farce — started my awakening then and the next year JFK was blown away in Dallas- all the Catholic kids crying — Catholic teachers crying and I’m at 10 years old — something isn’t right: makes no sense- my bullshit factor was activated then and has only grown stronger- it’s a fetid stench—
I find it incredibly strange that the once empty missile silos have now been turned into really nice homes in the ground, some are selling for 1 million and up remember when they couldn’t give them away after they were empty in the 90’s. Now I wish I would have seriously looked at one and bought it when I had the chance lol.
68 here - me either- didn’t you think that was the stupidest thing you ever heard - I was thinking how’s the school roof gonna survive let alone my dad’s blanket— and what’s the water for if we’re toast 😂
I wasn’t a stupid kid ..
Very similar experience for me but we crouched under our desks. Catholic school as well, so we had our Rosary beads and we all said the Rosary together with our teacher (a Nun) crouched under her desk. Even as a young child that struck me as hilarious.
I was in second grade when kennedy was murdered Non catholic school the teacher came in crying First time I'd seen an adult cry During the missle crisis my ww11 father was upset w kennedy and thought he would get us in war There were no nuke drills in my school

I'm 67 and will never cower under a desk again.
As a kid I used to know where all the fall out shelters were located in town. You couldn't miss those yellow and black radiation signs.

If you think about it, your Dad's blanket was just like the mask, in a symbolic sense.
A piece of fabric used as protection that was believed to do more than it could.

You didn't think about the glass
i remember doing that. and they would pull the curtains over the windows so the blast wouldn't shatter glass on us.
The cloth muzzle is the 2020 version of "Duck and Cover!"
WORSE than completely useless against the stated threat
