We had an earthquake drill at one place I worked, where there was an outside door less than 20 feet from our desks. Another guy and I agreed, if there was ever an earthquake we were heading out that door and would wait in the middle of the parking lot until it was over and then help dig bodies out of the rubble. Somebody said, “What about falling debris?” It was a freaking 2-story building, but yeah we conceded we’d be taking a risk for a second or two as we sprinted clear - vs expecting our cubicle furniture to keep a collapsing building off us lol.
Duck and cover was supposed to reduce casualties in the relative outer regions of the blast damage area (which are by far the largest).
Correct me if I’m wrong, but if you’re able to perceive the nuclear explosion and not even go blind, then you aren’t close enough for your house to disintegrate like that.
The blindness thing is really only for a split second while the fission/fusion is actually happening. By the time the mushroom cloud has formed, the actual explosion was like 30 seconds ago.
If you see a full mushroom cloud, that means the glass in front of you is probably going to rapidly accelerate into your skull when the shockwave hits you.
It’s to protect from falling debris from the ceiling. How much it helps is debatable but it’s best they have there in school. More effective on traditional bombing than nukes
In Finland we have bomb shelters everywhere, it’s arguably more effective

What’s the difference between the original and the one in the post?
More pixels. Fewer jpeg.
I must have really bad eyes they look identical to me.
Here’s a comparison:

This is awesome! Thanks. The Lemmy post shows up so tiny on my phone and I can’t zoom in.
