This movie brought back some childhood memories…..I was a young child of the 1960’s and I still remember the drills we had to do at school. We did what was called “duck and cover”. When the superintendent announced the drill, we would quickly get under our desks and cover our eyes. As if this would save us from a nuclear bomb! An air force base was about a 45 minute drive from my hometown. We often heard the sonic booms as jets flew over which of course scared the _out of us. We just knew it had to be the Russian bombers and after that first sonic boom, our teacher told us the jets were from the air base. Our parents never told us how close the US came to being nuked. It was years later in a US history class I learned how everyone was on pins and needles for days.
