War and Peace in the Nuclear Age; A Bigger Bang for the Buck; 103; Self Preservation in Atomic Bomb Attack
- Transcript
And when we moved into Japan a month or so later. We saw firsthand. And some of this. Gave a guy the shake. That is entirely. What happened. I got the idea across on the second day why not it's our business. You saw what happened in Japan. What if it happened here. You know I think. Well I think I. OK. Come on.
The target for today. This doesn't represent any place in particular. It's typical. And it's important. For shipping by both water and by rail or factory or it's big business. It's the kind of a city an enemy would want to knock out a spot where it might dominate an atomic egg. Want to know what that would make him of us in it maybe but not necessarily. Look I want to do about the A-bomb. I've seen what it can do in Japan. Bikini. And we talk. It's deadly. It's. Like a woman that I'd have to say I mean NEVER underestimate its power. Don't lose your head use it. Bigger than an atomic bomb dropped on a large modern
city like this might kill. 50000 people. That figure might be cut. Remember Iraq. They just got time to save yourself. Drop whatever you're doing. Find the nearest hole and make like a mole. The subways OK. Stay out of flimsy building. Give better protection. The basement is fine everybody interests I would love constructed buildings. In the safest positions are near strong supporting columns next to the wards protected following bricks and two by fours. There's no underground shelter handy. Pick a room in a good building close to the ground. It ought to be airtight and light proof is possible with the door shut. Windows closed. And blinds drawn.
