A picture series about the bunkers US citizens used to build from the 60s to early 90s in expectation of a nuclear war with Russia.

By today's knowledge the level of naivety was surprising. Who would have liked to survive just to face a contaminated environment and nuclear winter afterwards? No air exchangers with adequate filters? Food reserves for 2 weeks? The truth probably is that almost nobody really knew what nuclear war would have been about. And that would have been a bit more grim than just cleaning up the Ponderosa ranch.

I wonder if the German concepts of mass bunkers in the cities could be seen as a better solution. I think I would not have liked to "survive" in them.

I think some disasters are such that you really are better off not to survive them, yes. Life sometimes can be worse than death.
