Seems to me that adding one more step to the procedure would prevent this kind of thing....

ARE YOU SURE? :D

This was clearly just an ill-advised viral marketing campaign for the upcoming Blu-ray release of Threads.

One problem cause another problem who would believe the next incoming missile report?

On top of that what in the heck are they suppose to do, "Run and hide" :o

re-memorizing my childhood...we had several dry-runs of air/ballistic missile warnings / year but nobody took that too serious since for 99% it would be anyways game over in my hometown (was a missile base and thus a primary target by the Soviets, I guess)

we had even a fallout shelter in my high school...now are more or less all gone...sometimes I ask myself if this is such a wise decision ?

are there any fallout shelters left in the US ? (I mean real ones, not garages)

I think it was an intern test of the system, that went extern by mistake.

I remember my elementary school had fallout shelter signs posted outside. Though the school still stands the signs have long since been removed

We are restoring the shelter system for critical industries, etc.
