Trolling, trolling, trolling…
Remember the good old days of the Cold War? When folks were afraid that we’d be bombed any minute?
From 1957, “A Day Called ‘X'”, a “documentary” about civil defense evacuating Portland, Oregon after being warned of an impending Russian bomber attack. This was a co-production of CBS Public Affairs and the Federal Civil Defense Administration.
Glenn Ford, noted Canadian, is the presenter and narrator. But everyone else in this movie is an actual person playing their real-life role. That guy striding purposefully into the Emergency Operations Center? That was Terry Schrunk, the mayor at the time.
But what happens after the bomb drops?
Bonus video: from 1968, “Nuclear Attack Preparedness Procedures: Survive To Fight”, an Air Force training film about advance preparations for an attack, and post-attack procedures (dealing with fallout, casualties, damage, etc.)
