1
01:00:01,100 --> 01:00:02,900
I'm sorry.
02:00.000 --> 02:18.240
The Trinity test had been executed in New Mexico. The people from Trinity had arrived
02:18.240 --> 02:24.120
in the Marianas and they had with them at that particular time colored photographs of
02:24.120 --> 02:29.760
the Trinity explosion. So we got the gang together and we showed them we didn't use
02:29.760 --> 02:34.440
the word atomic bomb. We did not use that but we said okay now this is the bomb. This
02:34.440 --> 02:40.520
is what will happen when we make our flight tomorrow and release it. This is what we're
02:40.520 --> 02:48.880
going to see. So with this preliminary indoctrination we got into the airplane and took off.
02:54.920 --> 03:00.760
Once we were airborne and in the air I then left the pilot seat of the airplane and I
03:00.760 --> 03:05.120
crawled back into the back where the enlisted men were. I got them all together back there
03:05.120 --> 03:09.520
and we poured some coffee out of the thermos jugs and I told them actually what we were
03:09.520 --> 03:15.480
doing and what we were carrying at that time. And the weather being clear at our primary
03:15.480 --> 03:21.200
which was Hiroshima there was no decision left. I mean we were on the way to the primary.
03:21.200 --> 03:26.720
So that part of it was perfectly routine as we came in from our initial point to the
03:26.720 --> 03:35.160
bomb release point. It was again routine. We were bothered not in the least by any
03:35.160 --> 03:42.560
kind of fighter opposition. No flak. We didn't see anything to cause us any concern so that
03:42.560 --> 03:47.600
we were able to concentrate strictly on the bombing problem. The bomb was released.
03:51.200 --> 04:08.480
We executed our turn away as we had been directed. The bomb blast hit us. It hit us
04:08.480 --> 04:17.480
in two different shock waves. The first being the stronger. This as I say was a perfectly
04:17.480 --> 04:23.200
unexciting and routine thing up until the point of taking a look at the damage that
04:23.200 --> 04:29.920
had been done. And then it was kind of a little bit hard to realize. It was kind of inconceivable
04:29.920 --> 04:34.560
as to what we were looking at there. We passed comments back and forth in the airplane.
04:34.560 --> 04:39.480
We took pictures and by the time we had done that I became concerned that we'd better
04:39.480 --> 04:46.680
quit being sightseers and get out of there. And we were gone and off of the coast in
04:46.680 --> 05:05.960
a matter of about 20 minutes from the time that the bomb was released.
05:05.960 --> 05:12.800
We have spent more than two billion dollars on the greatest scientific gamble in history.
05:12.800 --> 05:27.920
And we have won. The Navy Department says that it's too early yet to tell what effect
05:27.920 --> 05:32.520
the atomic bomb will have on Japanese morale and that we may have to destroy four or five
05:32.520 --> 05:47.080
cities before they actually believe we have such a bomb.
05:47.080 --> 05:54.080
Having found the atomic bomb, we have used it. We shall continue to use it until we
05:54.080 --> 06:05.660
completely destroy Japan's power to make war. Only a Japanese surrender will stop us.
06:05.660 --> 06:13.040
It is an awful responsibility which has come to us. We thank God that it has come to us
06:13.040 --> 06:21.020
instead of to our enemies. And we pray that he may guide us to use it in his ways and
06:21.020 --> 06:32.700
for his purposes.
06:32.700 --> 06:37.900
Captain Behan, what was your most outstanding experience on this historic flight?
06:37.900 --> 06:43.460
I suppose it was when the clouds don't open up over the target at Nakisaki. The target
06:43.460 --> 06:50.580
was there pretty as a picture. I made the run, let the bomb go. That was my greatest thrill.
07:13.460 --> 07:30.580
They told him of their homes and loved ones. They told him that they'd like to be there.
07:30.580 --> 07:46.140
Did you see that city where the first atomic bomb was dropped?
07:46.140 --> 07:51.020
Yes, Fred. We flew over Hiroshima for about half an hour.
07:51.020 --> 07:52.340
It was a shambles, huh?
07:53.340 --> 08:14.860
It looked like Ebbets Field after a doubleheader with a giant.
08:14.860 --> 08:22.660
The group had been told to select some targets in Japan that had not been bombed. In other
08:22.660 --> 08:26.820
words, they wanted virgin targets. And the reason behind it, even though not given to
08:26.820 --> 08:30.940
the group at that time, the reason behind it was that they wanted to be able to make
08:30.940 --> 08:41.780
bomb blast studies or bomb damage studies on virgin targets once the bombs were used.
08:41.780 --> 08:47.380
There were definitely military targets. There was no question about that. And they offered
08:47.380 --> 08:56.580
such a, well, you could almost say a classroom experiment as far as being able to determine
08:56.580 --> 08:58.340
later the bomb damage.
09:11.780 --> 09:40.220
I have been subjected many times to criticism.
09:40.220 --> 09:49.180
I have been accused of being insane, being a drunkard, being everything that you can
09:49.180 --> 09:55.020
imagine a derelict to be as a result of a guilty conscience for doing this. And as I
09:55.020 --> 10:03.260
say, no one's ever come to my defense in that regard. I look at it this way, that my part
10:03.260 --> 10:09.820
in this thing may well have been something that later or now that the U.S. government
10:09.820 --> 10:17.460
might be looking at somewhat with a guilt complex. And the feeling could be that the
11:03.260 --> 11:28.140
June 30th, 1946, almost time. Another five seconds to 530. A spewing column of smoke
11:29.140 --> 11:37.300
into the sky, blinding light stronger than the sun. Bikini Atoll, present site of Operation
11:37.300 --> 11:43.500
Crossroads and the fourth atom bomb explosion. Bikini Atoll, where 200 warships will be
11:43.500 --> 11:54.100
anchored, 140 planes, 200 goats, 200 pigs, 4,000 rats. How will this fourth bomb affect
11:54.100 --> 12:05.860
you? What do you know of this atom bomb? The bomb will not start a chain reaction in the
12:05.860 --> 12:11.740
water, converting it all to gas and letting all the ships on all the oceans drop down
12:11.740 --> 12:16.780
to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water run down
12:16.780 --> 12:23.460
the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy, as one of my critics
12:23.460 --> 12:41.420
labeled me, exploding these bombs to satisfy my personal whim. And thus the natives expressed
12:41.420 --> 12:47.580
to the people of the United States their welcome. Despite the fact that the Atoll of Bikini may be
12:47.580 --> 12:54.340
utterly destroyed come July the 1st. But to the natives, in their simplicity and their pleasantness
12:54.340 --> 13:00.700
and their courtesy, they're more than willing to cooperate, although they don't understand the
13:00.700 --> 13:07.580
world of nuclear energy any more than we do, and though they have no way of understanding what the
13:07.580 --> 13:36.860
test is all about. James, will you tell them that the United States government now wants
13:36.860 --> 13:45.540
to turn this great destructive force into something good for mankind, and that this
13:45.540 --> 14:05.900
experiment here at Bikini are the first step in that direction. Now they have heard of our plan,
14:05.940 --> 14:15.700
for their evacuation. Will you ask King Judah to get up and tell us now what his people think,
14:15.700 --> 14:17.660
and if they're willing to go.
14:35.900 --> 14:48.580
Well, you tell them in King Judah that everything being in God's hands, it cannot be other than
14:48.580 --> 14:54.260
good. American officials discussed plans with the Bikini natives for the evacuation of the
14:54.260 --> 14:59.980
Atoll. The Islanders are a nomadic group and are well pleased that the Yanks are going to add a
15:00.060 --> 15:07.900
little variety to their lives. And here, by the way, you'll hear them singing their Marshallese
15:07.900 --> 15:10.100
version of You Are My Sunshine.
15:30.980 --> 15:32.460
Firing time.
15:32.460 --> 15:34.460
And I have just been interrupted.
15:34.460 --> 15:35.460
Thirty seconds.
15:35.460 --> 15:39.060
That's the voice of the control ship marking the seconds remaining. The final switches have been
15:39.060 --> 15:42.060
thrown. No one can stop it. The atomic bomb is about to explode.
15:42.060 --> 15:43.060
Firing time.
15:43.060 --> 15:44.060
Power blue sound.
15:44.060 --> 15:45.060
Twenty seconds.
15:45.060 --> 15:50.060
We do not know how it's going to sound, but 42,000 men here are watching.
15:50.060 --> 15:53.060
10 seconds.
15:53.140 --> 15:57.140
All of the observer ships are in position in the open sea. We're about 10 miles away.
15:57.140 --> 16:02.140
Five, seven, four, three, two, one.
16:53.140 --> 17:12.140
In the background was the growing struggle between two great powers to shape the post-war
17:12.140 --> 17:17.140
world. Soviet Russia was expansively stabbing westward, knifing into nations left empty
17:17.140 --> 17:22.140
by war. On orders from the Kremlin, Russia had launched one of history's most drastic
17:22.220 --> 17:28.220
political, moral, and economic wars, a Cold War. The United States was obliged to help
17:28.220 --> 17:35.220
Europe safeguard its traditional freedoms and the independence of its nations. Gone
17:35.220 --> 17:40.220
was the spirit of wartime unity that reached its peak on that historic afternoon in April
17:40.220 --> 17:47.220
45 at the Elbe River in Germany. Here, two worlds actually met, but this coalition was
17:48.100 --> 17:55.100
to be torn asunder. Already an iron curtain had dropped around Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia,
17:59.100 --> 18:00.100
Bulgaria.
18:00.100 --> 18:07.100
Ah, but this is Europe, you say. But let's see what can happen elsewhere in, say, the
18:07.260 --> 18:12.700
small town of Mocenny, Wisconsin. Peaceful, isn't it? But the Red French and Falls and
18:12.700 --> 18:17.700
the chief of police is hustled off to jail. Next, public utilities are seized by fifth
18:17.700 --> 18:22.700
colonists. Watch carefully what happens to an editor who operates under a free press.
18:22.700 --> 18:28.700
He goes to jail, too, and his newspaper is confiscated. Exit freedom of thought. Yes,
18:28.700 --> 18:34.700
this is life under the Soviet form of government. The little town of Mocenny made this experiment
18:34.700 --> 18:41.700
for 24 hours, a public service to all America. It can't happen here? Well, this is what
18:41.700 --> 18:48.700
it looks like, if it should.
19:12.700 --> 19:19.700
Fortunately, we can move the clock back. The time is not yet, and let us pray that it
19:22.700 --> 19:29.700
never happens in our country. Before we meet the members of the American Legion Post 279
19:29.700 --> 19:34.300
who helped make this picture possible, I'd just like to say that it gives me a great
19:34.300 --> 19:39.900
deal of satisfaction to represent two outstanding shopping centers in California. The shopping
19:39.900 --> 19:44.620
hub of the San Gabriel Valley in West Arcadia and the Whittier Quad shopping center in
19:44.620 --> 19:50.980
Whittier, California, because they are concrete expressions of the practical idealism that
19:50.980 --> 19:56.900
built America. When you visit these two fine shopping centers, you'll find more than four
19:56.900 --> 20:03.900
score, beautiful stores, the sparkling assortments, an attractive atmosphere, and of course, plenty
20:03.900 --> 20:09.620
of free parking for all the cars that we capitalists seem to acquire. Who can help
20:09.620 --> 20:15.380
but contrast the beautiful, the practical settings of the Arcadia shopping hub and the
20:15.380 --> 20:22.380
Whittier Quad with what you'd find under communism? It's not safe to hope for the best without
20:23.140 --> 20:29.780
preparing for the worst. Our object is not aggression. We need not become militaristic,
20:29.900 --> 20:36.900
we must keep our army, our navy, our air force at ready strength. We must back up our
20:37.300 --> 20:44.300
team for security. Well, I guess there's nothing for us to worry about. We're the ones that
20:46.180 --> 20:53.180
have the bomb. The atom bomb explodes again in the headlines of the world. The atomic
21:00.300 --> 21:05.340
bomb. In Washington, the chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy,
21:05.340 --> 21:09.820
Senator Brian McMahon, gives his reaction to Russia's possession of the bomb. This is
21:09.820 --> 21:16.820
no time for hysteria. This is no time for panic. This is a time for a calm reflection
21:18.780 --> 21:25.780
on the political and military implications of this transcendent event.
21:29.780 --> 21:36.780
Everybody's worried about the atomic bomb, but nobody's worried about the day my Lord
21:42.540 --> 21:49.540
will come when he'll hit great Gordomonte like an atom bomb when he comes, when he comes.
21:50.540 --> 21:57.540
While the suit is made of this material, inside this layer is shredded lead, a resistance
22:01.540 --> 22:08.540
against atomic rays. Okay, Richard, on your way to the air, Richard. Everybody's worried
22:11.540 --> 22:18.540
about the atomic bomb, but nobody's worried about the day my Lord will come. One immediate
22:18.540 --> 22:23.180
effect of the announcement of Russia's atom blast is to tighten security regulations
22:23.180 --> 22:30.180
in all atom installations. At Hanford, Washington, where $200 million is being spent in the
22:31.980 --> 22:37.420
ever-expanding atomic government empire, the door is being locked but tight. Ground
22:37.420 --> 22:41.260
guards are kept on their toes by constant target fighters, and they have orders to
22:41.260 --> 22:48.260
shoot to kill at any suspicious range.
22:48.540 --> 22:55.540
A highly trained and well-equipped North Korean army swarmed across the 38th parallel
23:04.100 --> 23:09.740
to attack unprepared South Korean defenders. Caught off guard, they were all but overwhelmed
23:09.740 --> 23:16.740
until the United Nations took its historic vote to intervene.
23:18.540 --> 23:25.540
The end of the war seemed in sight as the Allies pushed north toward the North Korean
23:25.740 --> 23:32.180
capital of Pyongyang. Then it happened. The Chinese Red Army, numbering hundreds of thousands,
23:32.180 --> 23:37.420
swarmed over the frontier against thinly-held United Nations positions. Confronted by overwhelming
23:37.420 --> 23:42.900
numbers, UN armies were forced into inevitable retreat, while men wondered whether Red China
23:42.900 --> 23:49.900
would touch off World War III. Would the atom bomb be the answer to the Chinese hordes?
23:52.220 --> 23:54.180
President Truman said that it was under consideration.
23:54.180 --> 24:01.180
If the United Nations yields to the forces of aggression, no nation will be safe or secure.
24:02.140 --> 24:07.460
If aggression is successful in Korea, we can expect it to spread throughout Asia and Europe
24:07.620 --> 24:14.620
and to this hemisphere. We are fighting in Korea for our own national security and survival.
24:28.180 --> 24:32.940
It's time for the launching chronoscope. Our distinguished guest for this evening is
24:32.940 --> 24:38.180
the Honorable James E. Van Zandt, United States Congressman from Pennsylvania.
24:38.180 --> 24:45.180
It's my opinion that we should fight the war to win in Korea, rather than try to settle
24:45.500 --> 24:49.460
at the diplomatic table, which is impossible when you're dealing with Russia.
24:49.460 --> 24:55.220
Would you extend your will to win so far as to include the atomic bomb?
24:55.220 --> 24:59.060
Very definitely, Dr. Peterson. I've always been a firm believer that we should use the
24:59.460 --> 25:03.700
atomic bomb, not only in Korea, but north of the Yalu River in Manchuria.
25:03.700 --> 25:08.340
Does that mean that you believe that it could be effectively used as a weapon in the Korean
25:08.340 --> 25:08.980
theater?
25:08.980 --> 25:15.980
Yes, I think that there are several targets in northern Korea that we could use. That
25:17.060 --> 25:20.300
is, we could destroy them with the atomic bomb, we could destroy them and contaminate
25:20.300 --> 25:27.300
them. And then, of course, there are targets in Manchuria that should be destroyed.
25:29.060 --> 25:36.060
This is the destructive power we pray God we will never be called upon to hurl at any
25:50.460 --> 25:55.780
nation. But should it become necessary, let us not hesitate because it is foreign to our
25:55.780 --> 25:59.500
nature to use the power which has been given us.
25:59.500 --> 26:05.780
I propose the President of the United States advise the commander of the North Korean troops
26:05.780 --> 26:12.780
to withdraw his forces beyond the 38th parallel within one week, or use that week to evacuate
26:13.500 --> 26:20.500
civilians from a specified list of North Korean cities that will be subjected to atomic attack
26:20.740 --> 26:22.740
by the United States Air Force.
26:22.740 --> 26:29.740
There will soon be an end to this cold and wicked war, when those hard-headed communists
26:31.500 --> 26:37.500
get what they're looking for. Only one thing that will stop them, and they're a ferocious
26:37.500 --> 26:44.500
fun. If General MacArthur drops an atomic bomb, there'll be fire just in the middle.
26:45.500 --> 26:52.500
Fly no round, and the radioactivity will burn into the ground. If there's any commies left,
26:54.500 --> 27:01.500
they'll be all on the run. If General MacArthur drops an atomic bomb.
27:05.180 --> 27:12.180
I ask you, the American citizen, to let your congressman know how you feel about this proposal.
27:15.500 --> 27:20.500
Well, I really don't know what to do.
27:20.500 --> 27:25.500
But you do feel the Korean situation affects us more than anything else?
27:25.500 --> 27:31.500
Yes, I feel that we should get our boys home. They've been over there long enough, and
27:31.500 --> 27:38.500
it doesn't seem to be any end to the situation.
27:45.500 --> 27:52.500
Listen to what my mom said about how bad things are back home. Everybody's hoarding.
27:56.500 --> 28:01.100
The profiteers are getting fat contracts. The neighbors say politicians are using the
28:01.100 --> 28:08.100
war to their own advantage. All our chief atomic scientists are spies. Not a lot more.
28:09.100 --> 28:15.100
Just take it with a grain of salt. Let me tell you how the commies planned propaganda
28:15.100 --> 28:22.100
back home. Some time ago, Mac, Johnny, and I managed to get our last leave together in
28:22.100 --> 28:29.100
a big city.
28:29.100 --> 28:36.100
Weapons like the atom bomb, these poor boys will shed their innocent blood in a war that
28:36.100 --> 28:38.100
this country is provoking.
28:38.100 --> 28:40.100
Get a load of that.
28:40.100 --> 28:46.100
Asiatic people all want the peaceful establishment of native regimes without the interference
28:46.100 --> 28:53.100
of United States troops. Communists don't want war. War would be world suicide. Only
28:53.100 --> 28:57.100
communist countries can guarantee you peace.
28:57.100 --> 29:01.100
Why don't you go live in a communist country then? Would you blow your top in a street
29:01.100 --> 29:05.100
corner there? You look pretty well off, sister, to be tearing down the country that gives
29:05.100 --> 29:06.100
you freedom of speech.
29:06.100 --> 29:13.100
We're living in a country that's the finest place on earth, but some folks don't appreciate
29:13.100 --> 29:19.100
this land that gave them birth. I hear that up in Washington they're having an awful fuss
29:19.100 --> 29:25.100
cause communists and spies are making monkeys out of us.
29:25.100 --> 29:30.100
The question is have you ever been a member of the communist party? You refuse to answer
29:30.100 --> 29:31.100
that question, is that correct?
29:31.100 --> 29:36.100
I have told you that I will offer my beliefs, my affiliations, and everything else to the
29:36.100 --> 29:40.100
American public and they will know where I stand as they do from what I have written.
29:40.100 --> 29:44.100
Stand away from the stand. I have written for Americanism for many years and I shall
29:44.100 --> 29:45.100
stand away from the stand.
29:45.100 --> 29:47.100
Fight for the Bill of Rights which I will stand to destroy.
29:47.100 --> 29:50.100
I will stand to take this man away from the stand.
29:50.100 --> 29:56.100
The bureaus and departments have been busy night and day. They're figuring out just
29:56.100 --> 30:03.100
how we gave our secrets all away. And Congress has appointed a committee, so they said,
30:03.100 --> 30:07.100
to find out who's American and who's a low down red.
30:07.100 --> 30:13.100
I am holding in my hand a microfilm, a very highly confidential secret, State Department
30:13.100 --> 30:20.100
documents. These documents were fed out of the State Department over ten years ago
30:20.100 --> 30:25.100
by communists who were employees of that department and who were interested in seeing
30:25.100 --> 30:30.100
that these documents were sent to the Soviet Union where the interests of the Soviet Union
30:30.100 --> 30:33.100
happened to be in conflict with those of the United States.
30:33.100 --> 30:40.100
I'm no communist and I'll tell you that right now. I believe a man should own his own house
30:40.100 --> 30:47.100
and car and cow. I like this private ownership and I want to be left alone. Let the government
30:47.100 --> 30:50.100
run its business and let me run my own.
30:50.100 --> 31:03.100
Our education is proceeding apace as to how Russia operates and how they got the atom
31:03.100 --> 31:12.100
bomb. Not by independent research, but from America, from traitors within our own ranks.
31:33.100 --> 31:40.100
Thank you.
32:03.100 --> 32:23.100
Here is a special broadcast on the scene of Sing Sing Prison where the Rosenbergs have
32:23.100 --> 32:25.100
just been executed.
32:25.100 --> 32:33.100
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg have gone to the electric chair. First to go into the death
32:33.100 --> 32:41.100
chamber was Julius Rosenberg. He wore an impassive expression on his face. He walked
32:41.100 --> 32:48.100
in slowly. He was preceded by a rabbi who was chanting the 23rd Psalm which everyone
32:48.100 --> 32:54.100
knows very well. He proceeded immediately over to the chair. He didn't say a word to
32:54.100 --> 33:01.100
anyone. Hardly glanced at anyone. He sat down in the chair. The straps were applied and
33:01.100 --> 33:08.100
the first jolt of electricity was sent through his body at 8.04 tonight.
33:08.100 --> 33:15.100
She died a lot harder. When it appeared that she had received enough electricity to kill
33:15.100 --> 33:22.100
an ordinary person and had received the exact amount that had killed her husband, the doctors
33:22.100 --> 33:31.100
went over and pulled down the cheap prison dress, a little dark green printed job, and
33:31.100 --> 33:44.100
placed the stethoscope to her and then looked around and looked at each other rather dumb
33:44.100 --> 33:52.100
founded and seemed surprised that she was not dead. Believing she was dead, the attendants
33:52.100 --> 34:02.100
had taken off the ghastly strappings and electrodes and the black belts and so forth. These had
34:03.100 --> 34:14.100
to be readjusted again and she was given more electricity which started again and had a
34:14.100 --> 34:29.100
ghastly plume of smoke that rose from her head and went up against the skylight overhead.
34:29.100 --> 34:40.100
After two more of those jolts, Ethel Rosenberg had met a maker. She'll have a lot of explaining
34:40.100 --> 34:42.100
to do to.
34:42.100 --> 34:50.100
Immediately after the execution, of course, the bodies were taken away. There is nothing
34:50.100 --> 34:56.100
much further to report at this particular time. There have been no demonstrations. The heat
34:56.100 --> 35:02.100
has been extremely intense here. There's a heavy fall and there has been an air of
35:02.100 --> 35:06.100
deep tension about this whole proceeding up here, but it is now all over. The newsmen
35:06.100 --> 35:12.100
have dispersed and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg have gone to the electric chair.
35:12.100 --> 35:18.100
That was an on the spot report on the execution tonight at Sing Sing Prison of Ethel and
35:18.100 --> 35:25.100
Julius Rosenberg. Now the great day show as we join Red Benson and the gang at the Marine
35:25.100 --> 35:29.100
Barracks in Brooklyn Navy Yard. The program is already in progress.
35:46.100 --> 35:52.100
The question before us is this. Should the hydrogen bomb be built?
35:52.100 --> 36:00.100
All the world knows we Americans are constructive, not destructive. However distasteful this
36:00.100 --> 36:05.100
may be to us, there is no choice in the matter. Let us build a bomb.
36:05.100 --> 36:10.100
It is my decided opinion that the United States of America should immediately begin the construction
36:10.100 --> 36:12.100
of the H-bomb.
36:12.100 --> 36:15.100
I feel we must make the H-bomb.
36:15.100 --> 36:20.100
It is my personal opinion that we should manufacture and produce the H-bomb in quantity.
36:20.100 --> 36:25.100
The Russians will try it anyhow and should they learn the secret of its manufacture
36:25.100 --> 36:31.100
before we do, the life and security of all freedom loving people will be in danger.
36:31.100 --> 36:37.100
I would like to add however that the United States of America should not necessarily
36:37.100 --> 36:43.100
use this bomb, but rather look upon it as a peaceful guardian and protector of the basic
36:43.100 --> 36:50.100
American doctrines of liberty and democracy against the obstacles of red fascism's materialistic
36:50.100 --> 36:53.100
and atheistic philosophy.
36:53.100 --> 37:00.100
If the communist block does attack, our radar sites and observers will sound the alert.
37:03.100 --> 37:09.100
Giant bombers will take to the air. Jet fighters will scream a lot.
37:10.100 --> 37:16.100
Fighters will account for some of the enemy, but some will get through to your home.
37:24.100 --> 37:30.100
In times of social crisis and tension, in times when changes come so thick and fast
37:30.100 --> 37:35.100
that the individual can no longer place himself in his group, when he knows that something
37:35.100 --> 37:41.100
is wrong but doesn't know what, when he feels himself a pawn, in times like these, most
37:41.100 --> 37:47.100
men become highly suggestible. They listen eagerly for any voice which sounds authoritative.
37:47.100 --> 37:53.100
They listen eagerly for anyone who can tell them what is wrong and what to do to right it,
37:53.100 --> 37:57.100
who can diagnose their trouble and prescribe a cure.
37:57.100 --> 38:05.100
Fighters and our land of the hour, fighters and our land of the hour, fighters and our land of the hour.
38:05.100 --> 38:35.100
Fighters fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting
38:35.100 --> 39:05.100
fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting
39:05.100 --> 39:07.700
and I assure you, we can do it.
39:09.100 --> 39:12.900
Now, if we first take a look at the strength of America,
39:16.600 --> 39:19.500
you and I know that it's the most productive nation on earth,
39:21.600 --> 39:26.600
that we are richer by any standard of comparison than there's any other nation in the world.
39:30.000 --> 39:34.400
We know that we have great military strength, economic, intellectual,
39:36.100 --> 39:41.400
but all in all, this total strength of America is one of those things we call,
39:41.600 --> 39:44.400
and the word we'll call, unbelievable.
40:05.100 --> 40:11.900
Now, why then, with all this strength, should we be worrying at times about what the world is doing to us?
40:14.100 --> 40:18.900
Actually, we see threats, and we see the world is going to be in danger.
40:22.100 --> 40:24.900
And we see the world is going to be in danger.
40:26.100 --> 40:28.900
And we see the world is going to be in danger.
40:28.900 --> 40:31.700
Now, let's talk about what the world is doing to us.
40:32.900 --> 40:38.700
Actually, we see threats coming from all angles, the internal and external,
40:38.900 --> 40:43.700
and we wonder what's going to happen to us individually and as a nation.
40:43.900 --> 40:49.700
Now, perhaps I can illustrate some of the reasons for this concern of today.
40:50.900 --> 40:56.700
Now, only a year ago, a hydrogen bomb was exploded in the Pacific.
40:59.900 --> 41:03.700
Last month, another series of these was undertaken.
41:04.900 --> 41:14.700
Now, this transfer of power, this increase of power, from the mere musket and the little cannon,
41:14.900 --> 41:20.700
all the way to the hydrogen bomb in a single lifetime, is indicative of the things that have happened to us.
41:20.900 --> 41:28.700
They rather indicate how far the advances of science have outraced our social consciousness.
41:28.900 --> 41:41.700
How much more we have developed scientifically than we are capable of handling emotionally and intellectually.
41:44.900 --> 41:49.700
So, that is one of the reasons that we have this great concern,
41:49.900 --> 41:54.700
of which the hydrogen bomb is merely a dramatic symbol.
41:58.900 --> 42:01.700
The world is changing.
42:01.900 --> 42:04.700
The world is changing.
42:04.900 --> 42:07.700
The world is changing.
42:07.900 --> 42:10.700
The world is changing.
42:10.900 --> 42:13.700
The world is changing.
42:13.900 --> 42:16.700
The world is changing.
42:16.900 --> 42:19.700
The world is changing.
42:19.900 --> 42:22.700
The world is changing.
42:22.900 --> 42:25.700
The world is changing.
42:25.700 --> 42:28.500
Kenny, let's have some news about that time.
42:28.700 --> 42:29.500
Come on, Dad.
42:29.700 --> 42:32.500
You can watch that show some other time.
42:32.700 --> 42:34.500
Okay.
42:34.700 --> 42:36.500
Thanks.
42:37.700 --> 42:42.500
Any one of intelligence and information is hoping and praying that we won't have a Third World War,
42:42.700 --> 42:49.500
because in this age of the atomic weapon, a Third World War would be a catastrophe for all mankind.
42:49.700 --> 42:52.500
And then finally, we have to look at the future.
42:52.500 --> 42:55.300
And then finally, and this is quite significant,
42:55.500 --> 43:01.300
about 60% of the American people revealed in the study which we made through the University of Michigan a year ago
43:01.500 --> 43:06.300
that they believed that the military could stop the atomic bombs from falling upon the United States.
43:06.500 --> 43:10.300
Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you that the military will tell you that as of today,
43:10.500 --> 43:12.300
they cannot stop a successful Russian attack.
43:12.500 --> 43:16.300
That can be corroborated rather dramatically, and we didn't plan it this way, Governor,
43:16.500 --> 43:21.300
but the floor manager has just handed me a bulletin saying that the Russians have been attacked.
43:21.300 --> 43:26.100
He's saying that the Russians have just exploded a hydrogen bomb.
43:33.300 --> 43:39.100
We must learn to live in a world where we have the hydrogen bomb
43:39.300 --> 43:43.100
and the enemy of freedom has the hydrogen bomb.
43:43.300 --> 43:46.100
It can destroy any city.
43:46.100 --> 43:53.900
That means Fort Worth and Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Amarillo, El Paso, yes, Johnson City.
43:57.100 --> 44:00.900
Every dollar I make goes for taxes and bills.
44:01.100 --> 44:04.900
Perhaps they've discovered the cure for my ills.
44:05.100 --> 44:12.900
Oh, I hope the hydrogen bomb, bless it all, oh, let it fall.
44:12.900 --> 44:19.700
Oh, I hope the hydrogen bomb, oh, God, have mercy on me.
44:37.900 --> 44:40.700
The problem this time is especially acute
44:40.700 --> 44:45.500
because this entire area of the Pacific is subject to radiological fallout,
44:45.700 --> 44:50.500
and this area is inhabited by some 20,000 people.
45:00.700 --> 45:03.500
The meteorologists had predicted a wind condition
45:03.700 --> 45:05.500
which should have carried the fallout
45:05.700 --> 45:08.500
to the north of the group of small atolls
45:08.500 --> 45:10.300
lying to the east of Bikini.
45:10.500 --> 45:13.300
The wind failed to follow the predictions
45:13.500 --> 45:15.300
but shifted south of that line
45:15.500 --> 45:20.300
and the little islands of Rongelet, Rongerik, and Uterik
45:20.500 --> 45:23.300
were in the edge of the path of the fallout.
45:23.500 --> 45:28.300
The task force commander promptly evacuated all the people from these islands.
45:28.500 --> 45:30.300
They were taken to the island of Kwajalein
45:30.500 --> 45:33.300
where we maintain a naval establishment
45:33.500 --> 45:37.300
and there placed under continuous and competent medical supervision.
45:37.300 --> 45:39.100
I visited them there last week.
45:41.300 --> 45:44.100
Today, a full month after the event,
45:44.300 --> 45:47.100
the medical staff on Kwajalein have advised us
45:47.300 --> 45:49.100
that they anticipate no illness
45:49.300 --> 45:54.100
barring, of course, diseases which may be hereafter contracted.
45:54.300 --> 45:59.100
The 236 natives appear to me to be well and happy.
46:01.300 --> 46:04.100
The survey aircraft carefully searched the area
46:04.300 --> 46:06.100
and reported no shipping.
46:06.100 --> 46:10.900
A Japanese fishing trawler appears to have been missed by the search
46:11.100 --> 46:13.900
but based on a statement attributed to her skipper
46:14.100 --> 46:16.900
to the effect that he saw the flash of the explosion
46:17.100 --> 46:19.900
and heard the concussion six minutes later,
46:20.100 --> 46:22.900
it must have been well within the danger area.
46:29.100 --> 46:31.900
At the time of the explosion, the tuna ship had been sailing far outside
46:32.100 --> 46:35.900
the designated safe area of a 75-foot-long island.
46:36.100 --> 46:37.900
The ship was at a 25-mile radius.
46:38.100 --> 46:39.900
Three hours after the H-bomb had been detonated,
46:40.100 --> 46:42.900
a downpour of radioactive ash descended on the fortunate dragon
46:43.100 --> 46:44.900
and its crew of 23.
46:45.100 --> 46:47.900
None of them knew the nature of the deadly snow.
46:48.100 --> 46:49.900
It was three days more before the ship
46:50.100 --> 46:52.900
and its contaminated crew and fishing catch sailed into port.
46:53.100 --> 46:54.900
By that time, the men suffered from the beginning symptoms
46:55.100 --> 46:56.900
of deadly radiation poisoning.
46:58.100 --> 47:00.900
By the time their illnesses had been properly diagnosed,
47:01.100 --> 47:02.900
the hot fish brought back in their holes
47:03.100 --> 47:04.900
had been sold into markets all over Japan.
47:04.900 --> 47:10.220
The
47:10.900 --> 47:12.700
The bottom had dropped out of the fish market
47:12.900 --> 47:15.700
and the Japanese people chose to do without the staple food
47:15.900 --> 47:17.700
for a long time after the tragic affair.
47:18.900 --> 47:20.700
Another byproduct of the stupendous mid-Pacific blast
47:20.900 --> 47:22.700
unfolds in San Francisco,
47:22.900 --> 47:26.700
where tuna fish, supposedly made radioactive during the tests,
47:26.900 --> 47:28.700
are scrutinized by federal agents
47:28.900 --> 47:31.700
armed with Geiger counters for signs of contamination.
47:31.700 --> 47:34.500
Hot tea, anyone? That's not an invitation.
47:34.700 --> 47:37.500
It's a problem brewed for the Coast Guard and Customs
47:37.700 --> 47:40.500
by the arrival in Brooklyn of a cargo of Japanese tea
47:40.700 --> 47:42.500
slightly radioactive.
47:42.700 --> 47:44.500
Final conclusion, the tea's radioactivity
47:44.700 --> 47:46.500
is within safety limits.
47:46.700 --> 47:48.500
Not too hot to handle.
47:53.700 --> 47:54.500
Warm.
47:54.700 --> 47:57.500
Yeah, June and January, that's what I say.
47:57.700 --> 47:59.500
If you ask me, I think it's because of those
47:59.500 --> 48:01.300
If you ask me, I think it's because of those
48:01.500 --> 48:03.300
atom bombs.
48:03.500 --> 48:04.300
Yeah?
48:04.500 --> 48:05.300
Yeah.
48:05.500 --> 48:07.300
They've done some cock-eyed things to the world.
48:07.500 --> 48:10.300
I think they've knocked the South of the equator.
48:30.500 --> 48:32.300
Just like I keep saying,
48:32.500 --> 48:34.300
everybody's so uncertain about everything,
48:34.500 --> 48:36.300
they don't seem to know what's going to happen.
48:36.500 --> 48:37.300
Urban.
48:37.500 --> 48:38.300
Straight.
48:38.500 --> 48:40.300
Well, as I was saying,
48:40.500 --> 48:42.300
I wouldn't worry nearly as much about the atom bomb
48:42.500 --> 48:45.300
if it were to kill you right out.
48:45.500 --> 48:49.300
What scares me is that awful gas that deforms you.
48:50.500 --> 48:51.300
Yeah.
48:51.500 --> 48:53.300
That would be bad.
48:53.500 --> 48:54.300
Yeah.
48:59.500 --> 49:02.300
Here's the drink that you don't pour.
49:02.500 --> 49:04.300
Now when you take one sip,
49:04.500 --> 49:06.300
you won't need any more.
49:06.500 --> 49:08.300
As small as a beetle,
49:08.500 --> 49:10.300
as big as a weed.
49:10.500 --> 49:13.300
Mmm, atomic cocktail.
49:59.500 --> 50:02.300
Corporal, could you get me your name and hometown address?
50:02.500 --> 50:04.300
My name is Corporal George Molan,
50:04.500 --> 50:06.300
and I'm from Elmhurst, Illinois.
50:06.500 --> 50:08.300
I'm Tech Sergeant George Portell.
50:08.500 --> 50:10.300
I'm from the North Carolina Air Force.
50:10.500 --> 50:12.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:12.500 --> 50:14.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:14.500 --> 50:16.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:16.500 --> 50:18.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:18.500 --> 50:20.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:20.500 --> 50:22.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:22.500 --> 50:24.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:24.500 --> 50:26.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:26.500 --> 50:28.300
I'm a sergeant in the Air Force.
50:28.300 --> 50:31.100
I'm Sergeant George Portell from Dorchester, Massachusetts.
50:31.300 --> 50:33.100
Jerry Snyder from Cheyenne, Wyoming.
50:33.300 --> 50:34.100
Sergeant Weaver.
50:34.300 --> 50:35.100
Where are you from, Sergeant Weaver?
50:35.300 --> 50:36.100
Columbus, Georgia.
50:36.300 --> 50:38.100
Where are you from, Roger?
50:38.300 --> 50:39.100
Portland, Oregon.
50:39.300 --> 50:40.100
Where are you from?
50:40.300 --> 50:41.100
New York City.
50:41.300 --> 50:42.100
Liberal, Kentucky.
50:42.300 --> 50:43.100
Jefferson City, Missouri.
50:43.300 --> 50:44.100
St. Paul, Minnesota.
50:44.300 --> 50:45.100
Fort Worth, Chita, Arizona.
50:45.300 --> 50:46.100
Alkeny, Kansas.
50:46.300 --> 50:48.100
Leesburg, New Jersey.
50:48.300 --> 50:52.100
Gentlemen, I want to welcome you to Camp Desert Rock.
50:52.300 --> 50:54.100
This will be your last briefing
50:54.300 --> 50:56.100
before you go out to the forward area
50:56.100 --> 50:58.900
and take part in an atomic detonation.
51:00.100 --> 51:03.900
The tactical situation behind troop test Smokey is this.
51:04.100 --> 51:06.900
The mythical enemy, which has landed on the coast of California,
51:07.100 --> 51:09.900
has made a deep penetration close to supply,
51:10.100 --> 51:13.900
special weapons storage, and missile launching installations
51:14.100 --> 51:16.900
in the vicinity of Las Vegas and Hoover Dam.
51:17.100 --> 51:19.900
The tactical commander decided at this point
51:20.100 --> 51:22.900
to use an atomic weapon in his assault on the enemy.
51:22.900 --> 51:25.700
The mission of these men is to move as quickly as possible
51:25.900 --> 51:29.700
into the blasted area and exploit the breach in the enemy lines.
51:31.900 --> 51:35.700
You are here to participate in an atomic maneuver.
51:36.900 --> 51:39.700
This is not a haphazard maneuver.
51:39.900 --> 51:42.700
Careful planning for it started months back.
51:43.900 --> 51:45.700
Watched from a safe distance,
51:45.900 --> 51:49.700
this explosion is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man.
51:49.700 --> 51:52.500
You're probably saying, so it's beautiful.
51:52.700 --> 51:54.500
What makes it so dangerous?
51:54.700 --> 51:58.500
Basically, there are only three things to think about.
51:59.700 --> 52:01.500
Blast,
52:04.700 --> 52:06.500
heat,
52:07.700 --> 52:09.500
and radiation.
52:13.700 --> 52:15.500
Radiation.
52:15.700 --> 52:19.500
This is the one new available source of radiation.
52:19.700 --> 52:23.500
The effect obtained by the use of an atomic weapon.
52:23.700 --> 52:27.500
Truthfully, it's the least important of the three effects
52:27.700 --> 52:30.500
as far as the soldier on the ground is concerned.
52:30.700 --> 52:33.500
You can't see radiation,
52:33.700 --> 52:36.500
feel it, smell it, or taste it.
52:36.700 --> 52:40.500
Film badges and dosimeters issued to you
52:40.700 --> 52:44.500
enable the radiological safety monitor in your unit
52:44.700 --> 52:47.500
to read the amount of your exposure.
52:47.500 --> 52:49.300
The radiation level may be high,
52:49.500 --> 52:51.300
but if you follow orders,
52:51.500 --> 52:54.300
you'll be moved out in time to avoid sickness.
52:54.500 --> 52:57.300
Finally, if you receive enough gamma radiation
52:57.500 --> 53:00.300
to cause sterility or severe sickness,
53:00.500 --> 53:05.300
you'll be killed by blast, flying debris, or heat anyway.
53:07.500 --> 53:09.300
Well, that's the story.
53:09.500 --> 53:11.300
Don't worry about yourselves.
53:11.500 --> 53:15.300
As far as the test is concerned, you'll be okay.
53:17.500 --> 53:21.300
Well, we knew now exactly where we'd be for the big show.
53:21.500 --> 53:23.300
All we had to do was wait.
53:23.500 --> 53:27.300
Now that it's so close, it makes you feel kind of restless.
53:27.500 --> 53:31.300
You wonder if everything's gonna turn out all right.
53:31.500 --> 53:34.300
It filled your mind no matter what you were doing.
53:34.500 --> 53:37.300
What seems to be the trouble, soldier?
53:37.500 --> 53:39.300
You look a little bit worried.
53:39.500 --> 53:42.300
Well, I am, chaplain. Just a little bit.
53:42.500 --> 53:44.300
Actually, there's no need to be worried
53:44.500 --> 53:47.300
as the Army has taken all of the necessary precautions
53:47.500 --> 53:50.300
to ensure that we're perfectly safe here.
53:50.500 --> 53:53.300
Sir, have you ever been out of one of these shots before?
53:53.500 --> 53:55.300
Yes, I've had the opportunity
53:55.500 --> 53:58.300
to see a number of the atomic tests.
53:58.500 --> 54:00.300
I feel that as a chaplain,
54:00.500 --> 54:03.300
it is my responsibility to be with my men.
54:03.500 --> 54:05.300
What's it like, chaplain?
54:05.500 --> 54:09.300
First of all, one sees a very, very bright light,
54:09.500 --> 54:11.300
followed by a shockwave,
54:11.500 --> 54:13.300
and then you hear the sound of the blast,
54:13.500 --> 54:17.300
and then it seems as though there's a minor earthquake.
54:17.500 --> 54:20.300
You look up and you see the fireball
54:20.500 --> 54:23.300
as it ascends up into the heaven.
54:23.500 --> 54:26.300
It's a wonderful sight to behold.
54:35.500 --> 54:37.300
30 seconds.
54:48.500 --> 54:50.300
15 seconds.
54:53.500 --> 54:55.300
10 seconds.
54:58.500 --> 55:03.300
Five, four, three, two, one.
55:17.500 --> 55:21.300
The blast shock passes in a matter of seconds,
55:21.500 --> 55:25.300
and the heat and blast effects you can see and feel.
55:25.500 --> 55:29.300
You cannot sense the presence of nuclear radiation effects.
55:29.500 --> 55:31.300
Alpha and beta particles,
55:31.500 --> 55:33.300
because of their low penetrating power,
55:33.500 --> 55:36.300
are stopped by more than one particle.
55:36.500 --> 55:39.300
The shock is then absorbed by the atomic particles
55:39.500 --> 55:42.300
and then released into the atmosphere.
55:42.500 --> 55:45.300
The shock is then absorbed by the atomic particles
55:45.300 --> 55:49.100
and the low penetrating power are stopped by most surfaces,
55:49.300 --> 55:51.100
even a soldier's skin.
55:51.300 --> 55:53.100
They are a hazard only when materials
55:53.300 --> 55:55.100
emitting these particles get into the body
55:55.300 --> 55:57.100
through breaks in the skin,
55:57.300 --> 56:00.100
or through the nose or mouth.
56:03.300 --> 56:05.100
Did you keep your mouth shut or did you get a mouth full of dirt?
56:05.300 --> 56:07.100
I got a mouth full of dirt.
56:11.300 --> 56:15.100
How about all that smoke and dust and radiation, would you?
56:15.300 --> 56:18.100
I couldn't see. I couldn't see for a quite a spell.
56:28.300 --> 56:30.100
Very young, did you wear any type of protective clothing,
56:30.300 --> 56:32.100
or just what did you wear?
56:32.300 --> 56:35.100
No, just regular GI white clothing.
56:37.300 --> 56:39.100
We see pinned on your lapels here,
56:39.300 --> 56:42.100
this white badge. Can you tell me what that is?
56:42.300 --> 56:44.100
That's a film badge to determine
56:44.100 --> 56:46.900
the amount of radiation you've received in the area.
56:47.100 --> 56:49.900
And they can tell from that if you've received a lethal dose.
56:50.100 --> 56:51.900
That's right. That's right.
57:14.100 --> 57:16.900
If you were driving from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City
57:17.100 --> 57:18.900
on U.S. Highway 91,
57:19.100 --> 57:21.900
you'd pass through St. George, Utah,
57:22.100 --> 57:26.900
just a short way from the Nevada Test Site 140 miles to the west.
57:27.100 --> 57:29.900
You'd see a lot of people driving from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City
57:30.100 --> 57:31.900
on the highway.
57:32.100 --> 57:34.900
You'd see a lot of people driving from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City
57:35.100 --> 57:36.900
on the highway.
57:37.100 --> 57:39.900
You'd see a lot of people driving from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City
57:40.100 --> 57:41.900
on the highway.
57:41.900 --> 57:43.700
And you'd pass through St. George, Utah,
57:43.900 --> 57:47.700
just a short way from the Nevada Test Site 140 miles to the west.
57:53.900 --> 57:56.700
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt this program
57:56.900 --> 57:59.700
to bring you important news.
57:59.900 --> 58:03.700
Word has just been received from the Atomic Energy Commission
58:03.900 --> 58:05.700
that due to a change in wind direction,
58:05.900 --> 58:08.700
the residue from this morning's atomic detonation
58:09.700 --> 58:13.500
It is suggested that everyone remain indoors for one hour
58:13.700 --> 58:15.500
or until further notice.
58:15.700 --> 58:17.500
There is no danger.
58:17.700 --> 58:19.500
This is simply routine Atomic Energy Commission
58:19.700 --> 58:21.500
safety procedure.
58:21.700 --> 58:24.500
Parents need not be alarmed about children at school.
58:24.700 --> 58:27.500
No recesses outdoors will be permitted.
58:27.700 --> 58:30.500
And as the people at St. George took cover,
58:30.700 --> 58:34.500
it was natural that some of them had questions about atomic tests.
58:34.700 --> 58:37.500
What is the atomic bomb?
58:37.500 --> 58:40.300
Why do we have to test bombs?
58:41.500 --> 58:45.300
How little an amount of radiation will cause how many mutations?
58:46.500 --> 58:48.300
Never before have so many known so little
58:48.500 --> 58:51.300
about a subject so big and so important.
58:52.500 --> 58:55.300
The capabilities of most weapons are pretty well understood.
58:55.500 --> 58:57.300
But when it comes to atomic explosions,
58:57.500 --> 59:00.300
the guessing game starts.
59:00.500 --> 59:02.300
All right, let's take a few minutes right now
59:02.500 --> 59:04.300
and get acquainted with an A-bomb.
59:04.300 --> 59:06.100
Meet test A-bomb.
59:10.300 --> 59:14.100
A submarine bomb exploded in a harbor might affect a city.
59:14.300 --> 59:17.100
The affected area would be a poor picnic site,
59:17.300 --> 59:20.100
but might be entered briefly or passed through quickly
59:20.300 --> 59:22.100
with a varying degree of risk.
59:22.300 --> 59:26.100
Risk is something the military doesn't have a corner on.
59:26.300 --> 59:29.100
Occupational hazards are accepted in a matter of fact manner
59:29.300 --> 59:31.100
in the United States.
59:31.100 --> 59:33.900
Occupational hazards are accepted in a matter of fact manner
59:34.100 --> 59:35.900
in civilian life.
59:36.100 --> 59:38.900
Risk is part of the pattern of daily routine.
59:47.100 --> 59:49.900
Some of the falsehoods circulated about radiation effects
59:50.100 --> 59:51.900
are trivial, but upsetting.
59:52.100 --> 59:54.900
They're beamed right at one's self-esteem.
59:56.100 --> 01:00:00.900
And will eventually result in a race of baldheaded people.
01:00:01.100 --> 01:00:02.900
Just imagine it.
01:00:03.100 --> 01:00:05.900
Imagine yourself with no hair.
01:00:08.100 --> 01:00:11.900
They'll call you old skinhead, old chrome dome.
01:00:12.100 --> 01:00:14.900
And that's not all radioactivity will do.
01:00:15.100 --> 01:00:16.900
It will...
01:00:17.100 --> 01:00:19.900
Enough exposure to radiation will cause loss of hair.
01:00:20.100 --> 01:00:22.900
The treatment, if you'd insist, would be symptomatic.
01:00:23.100 --> 01:00:24.900
A toupee.
01:00:25.100 --> 01:00:26.900
But the condition would only be temporary.
01:00:27.100 --> 01:00:28.900
Your hair would come back.
01:00:29.100 --> 01:00:30.900
Same color, same cowling.
01:00:31.100 --> 01:00:33.900
Which puts the finger squarely upon one of the major fallacies
01:00:34.100 --> 01:00:36.900
in the public attitude toward atomic weapons.
01:00:37.100 --> 01:00:40.900
It's the fallacy of devoting 85% of one's worrying capacity
01:00:41.100 --> 01:00:44.900
to an agent that constitutes only about 15%
01:00:45.100 --> 01:00:47.900
of an atomic bomb's destroying potential.
01:00:48.100 --> 01:00:49.900
And that's unsound.
01:00:50.100 --> 01:00:51.900
Doesn't fit.
01:00:53.100 --> 01:00:54.900
There are those few who loudly maintain
01:00:55.100 --> 01:00:57.900
that there is no actual threat to the free world at all.
01:00:58.100 --> 01:01:00.900
Certainly none that can justify either nuclear testing
01:01:01.100 --> 01:01:02.900
or nuclear armament.
01:01:03.100 --> 01:01:05.900
The opposite viewpoint holds that the development of our nuclear power
01:01:06.100 --> 01:01:07.900
has been an absolutely necessary protection
01:01:08.100 --> 01:01:10.900
against communist hostility and nuclear threats.
01:01:11.100 --> 01:01:14.900
In this view, the fallout casualties, if any,
01:01:15.100 --> 01:01:17.900
will be seen as those of unidentified soldiers
01:01:18.100 --> 01:01:19.900
in the service of humanity.
01:01:20.100 --> 01:01:23.900
Unknown soldiers in a war which is not struck.
01:01:31.100 --> 01:01:33.900
We're going to be talking about nuclear energy
01:01:34.100 --> 01:01:35.900
and the kinds of things that could happen
01:01:36.100 --> 01:01:37.900
with an atomic emergency.
01:01:38.100 --> 01:01:41.900
And we do this not to worry you,
01:01:42.100 --> 01:01:44.900
or frighten you, but really,
01:01:45.100 --> 01:01:46.900
we've got to admit we live in an atomic age.
01:01:47.100 --> 01:01:48.900
There is an atomic bomb.
01:01:49.100 --> 01:01:50.900
So we have to be aware of this
01:01:51.100 --> 01:01:53.900
and know what to do in case an emergency happens.
01:01:54.100 --> 01:01:57.900
If there will be a need to spend two weeks in a fallout shelter,
01:01:58.100 --> 01:01:59.900
we have packed our survival kit
01:01:59.900 --> 01:02:01.700
for the food supply.
01:02:01.900 --> 01:02:03.700
Packed a variety of fruits,
01:02:03.900 --> 01:02:05.700
soups,
01:02:05.900 --> 01:02:07.700
evaporated milk,
01:02:07.900 --> 01:02:09.700
vegetables,
01:02:09.900 --> 01:02:11.700
napkins.
01:02:11.900 --> 01:02:14.700
The purpose of our demonstration today
01:02:14.900 --> 01:02:17.700
is to show you the actual preparation
01:02:17.900 --> 01:02:19.700
of one of the meals which was prepared
01:02:19.900 --> 01:02:21.700
in a modern-day cave.
01:02:21.900 --> 01:02:25.700
One new meal consisted of the following food.
01:02:25.900 --> 01:02:27.700
Canned chicken.
01:02:27.700 --> 01:02:29.500
Peas.
01:02:29.700 --> 01:02:31.500
Irish potatoes.
01:02:31.700 --> 01:02:34.500
Tomato juice.
01:02:44.700 --> 01:02:47.500
My poster is on the defenses against fallout.
01:02:47.700 --> 01:02:52.500
And if you're caught outside during a nuclear explosion,
01:02:52.700 --> 01:02:55.500
you're going to be in a big trouble.
01:02:55.500 --> 01:02:57.300
A nuclear explosion.
01:02:57.500 --> 01:02:59.300
Decontamination may be necessary.
01:02:59.500 --> 01:03:02.300
You have to burn or bury all your clothes and food.
01:03:02.500 --> 01:03:04.300
And afterwards, you should wash thoroughly.
01:03:04.500 --> 01:03:07.300
John, let me interrupt you here just a moment.
01:03:07.500 --> 01:03:09.300
I have some film here that I think will describe
01:03:09.500 --> 01:03:11.300
what might happen.
01:03:11.500 --> 01:03:13.300
And will describe a little about the atom.
01:03:13.500 --> 01:03:15.300
So, Joey, why don't you catch the lights and we'll try it.
01:03:15.500 --> 01:03:17.300
Okay?
01:03:25.500 --> 01:03:28.300
Now, you and I don't have shells to crawl into like Bert the Turtle,
01:03:28.500 --> 01:03:31.300
so we have to cover up in our own way.
01:03:31.500 --> 01:03:33.300
Paul and Patty know this.
01:03:33.500 --> 01:03:35.300
No matter where they go or what they do,
01:03:35.500 --> 01:03:37.300
they always try to hide.
01:03:37.500 --> 01:03:39.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:39.500 --> 01:03:41.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:41.500 --> 01:03:43.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:43.500 --> 01:03:45.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:45.500 --> 01:03:47.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:47.500 --> 01:03:49.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:49.500 --> 01:03:51.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:51.500 --> 01:03:53.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:53.500 --> 01:03:55.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:55.500 --> 01:03:57.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:57.500 --> 01:03:59.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:03:59.500 --> 01:04:01.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:01.500 --> 01:04:03.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:03.500 --> 01:04:05.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:05.500 --> 01:04:07.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:07.500 --> 01:04:09.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:09.500 --> 01:04:11.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:11.500 --> 01:04:13.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:13.500 --> 01:04:15.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:15.500 --> 01:04:17.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:17.500 --> 01:04:19.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:19.500 --> 01:04:21.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:21.500 --> 01:04:23.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:23.500 --> 01:04:25.300
And they're always going to be in danger.
01:04:25.500 --> 01:04:27.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:27.500 --> 01:04:29.300
That's the first thing to do.
01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:30.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:30.500 --> 01:04:32.300
First you duck.
01:04:32.500 --> 01:04:34.300
Then you cover.
01:04:34.500 --> 01:04:36.300
You duck and cover tight.
01:04:36.500 --> 01:04:38.300
Duck and cover under the table.
01:04:38.500 --> 01:04:39.300
It's a bomb.
01:04:39.500 --> 01:04:40.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:40.500 --> 01:04:42.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:42.500 --> 01:04:44.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:44.500 --> 01:04:45.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:45.500 --> 01:04:47.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:47.500 --> 01:04:49.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:49.500 --> 01:04:51.300
Duck and cover yourself.
01:04:51.500 --> 01:04:52.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:52.500 --> 01:04:54.300
Duck and cover.
01:04:54.300 --> 01:04:56.100
Duck and cover.
01:04:56.300 --> 01:05:00.100
He did what we all must learn to do.
01:05:00.300 --> 01:05:03.100
You and you and you and you.
01:05:03.300 --> 01:05:06.100
You and you and you and you.
01:05:06.300 --> 01:05:09.100
You and you and you and you.
01:05:09.300 --> 01:05:12.100
You and you and you and you.
01:05:12.300 --> 01:05:16.100
Duck and cover.
01:05:16.300 --> 01:05:18.100
Remember what to do, friends.
01:05:18.300 --> 01:05:20.100
Now tell me right out loud.
01:05:20.300 --> 01:05:22.100
What are you supposed to do when you see the flash?
01:05:22.100 --> 01:05:24.900
Duck and cover.
01:05:32.100 --> 01:05:32.900
Question.
01:05:33.100 --> 01:05:33.900
Yes?
01:05:34.100 --> 01:05:36.900
How far do you have to be from the blast to live through it?
01:05:37.100 --> 01:05:40.900
Well, let's take a 20 megaton surface burst.
01:05:45.100 --> 01:05:46.900
You would have a good chance of surviving
01:05:47.100 --> 01:05:49.900
if you were more than 12 miles from the point of detonation.
01:05:52.100 --> 01:05:55.900
A bomb equivalent to 20 million tons of TNT
01:05:56.100 --> 01:06:00.900
would cause an intense fire called a firestorm
01:06:01.100 --> 01:06:03.900
in an area of about 2,000 square miles
01:06:04.100 --> 01:06:06.900
around the center of the blast.
01:06:07.100 --> 01:06:09.900
And in such an area, it would be futile,
01:06:10.100 --> 01:06:11.900
desperately futile,
01:06:12.100 --> 01:06:14.900
to construct what are called fallout shelters.
01:06:17.100 --> 01:06:19.900
This man, like thousands of others around the country,
01:06:19.900 --> 01:06:23.700
is suffering from a dread disease called nuclearosis.
01:06:23.900 --> 01:06:24.700
The symptoms?
01:06:24.900 --> 01:06:26.700
Nuclear blindness.
01:06:26.900 --> 01:06:29.700
All he can see is a mushroom cloud.
01:06:29.900 --> 01:06:31.700
He is blinded from the fear of it,
01:06:31.900 --> 01:06:33.700
deaf from the sound of it.
01:06:33.900 --> 01:06:36.700
There is a short circuit in his brain.
01:06:36.900 --> 01:06:39.700
He can only think of the awfulness of the nuclear bomb.
01:06:39.900 --> 01:06:43.700
We ought to learn something from the Second World War in this respect.
01:06:43.900 --> 01:06:46.700
And the bombing there, even by Second World War bombs
01:06:46.900 --> 01:06:49.700
in Hamburg, in Tokyo, and in other cities,
01:06:49.900 --> 01:06:53.700
showed that shelters became centers for incinerating
01:06:53.900 --> 01:06:56.700
or asphyxiating the people who were in them.
01:06:56.900 --> 01:06:58.700
A fallout shelter in your basement
01:06:58.900 --> 01:07:02.700
will give adequate shielding from radioactive fallout.
01:07:03.900 --> 01:07:07.700
Ah, he's finally getting the message.
01:07:07.900 --> 01:07:09.700
Are you?
01:07:10.900 --> 01:07:12.700
A new housing development near Denver, Colorado,
01:07:12.900 --> 01:07:14.700
shows the nation's first model homes
01:07:14.900 --> 01:07:16.700
with built-in fallout shelters.
01:07:16.900 --> 01:07:19.700
The room is designed with an atomic war in mind.
01:07:19.900 --> 01:07:22.700
Behind each 8-inch thick reinforced concrete wall
01:07:22.900 --> 01:07:25.700
it may prove to be just what the harried housewife is looking for
01:07:25.900 --> 01:07:28.700
when life with the kids gets too hectic.
01:07:30.900 --> 01:07:34.700
You don't think that shelters are a deterrent to a nuclear war either.
01:07:34.900 --> 01:07:37.700
On the contrary, I believe that psychologically
01:07:37.900 --> 01:07:40.700
they will push both us and the Russians
01:07:40.900 --> 01:07:43.700
into thinking more of having a war.
01:07:50.900 --> 01:07:55.700
There are some instances where you may be ahead of us.
01:07:55.900 --> 01:07:59.700
For example, in the development of the thrust of your rockets
01:07:59.900 --> 01:08:02.700
for the investigation of outer space.
01:08:02.900 --> 01:08:05.700
There may be some instances, for example, color television,
01:08:05.900 --> 01:08:07.700
where we're ahead of you.
01:08:07.900 --> 01:08:10.700
But in order for both of us to benefit,
01:08:10.900 --> 01:08:12.700
for both of us to benefit,
01:08:12.900 --> 01:08:15.700
you never can see anything.
01:08:20.900 --> 01:08:23.700
We wish you, it means success,
01:08:23.900 --> 01:08:27.700
in that you show the actual possibilities of America.
01:08:27.900 --> 01:08:29.700
And we will be able to say,
01:08:29.900 --> 01:08:32.700
here are the possibilities of America.
01:08:32.900 --> 01:08:34.700
How long does it exist?
01:08:34.900 --> 01:08:36.700
How many years? 300? 300?
01:08:36.900 --> 01:08:39.700
150 years of independence?
01:08:39.900 --> 01:08:42.700
Then we will say that America exists 150 years.
01:08:42.900 --> 01:08:44.700
Here is its level.
01:08:44.900 --> 01:08:46.700
We are 42 years, not quite.
01:08:46.900 --> 01:08:49.700
Another 7 years, we are 40 years.
01:08:49.900 --> 01:08:52.700
And we will be on the same level as America.
01:08:52.900 --> 01:08:54.700
Then in the future we will go ahead
01:08:54.900 --> 01:08:57.700
and we might overtake you at the crossroads.
01:09:01.900 --> 01:09:05.700
This increase in communication will teach us some things
01:09:05.900 --> 01:09:07.700
and it will teach you some things too.
01:09:07.900 --> 01:09:10.700
Because after all, you don't know everything.
01:09:13.900 --> 01:09:15.700
If I don't know everything,
01:09:15.900 --> 01:09:18.700
then I would say that you know absolutely nothing
01:09:18.700 --> 01:09:22.500
about communism, nothing except fear of it.
01:09:30.700 --> 01:09:33.500
Let's say you've got your family in your shelter,
01:09:33.700 --> 01:09:35.500
the attack is on,
01:09:35.700 --> 01:09:37.500
a question might come up of admitting anyone
01:09:37.700 --> 01:09:40.500
over and above the number for whom the shelter is designed.
01:09:40.700 --> 01:09:43.500
I'd say we should rely on the best prudential judgment
01:09:43.700 --> 01:09:45.500
that the father or the one responsible for the shelter
01:09:45.700 --> 01:09:47.500
can make in the circumstances.
01:09:47.500 --> 01:09:51.300
But I say let him think twice before he admits the needy stranger
01:09:51.500 --> 01:09:53.300
if admitting the needy stranger
01:09:53.500 --> 01:09:55.300
is going to cut down the chances of survival
01:09:55.500 --> 01:09:57.300
of the group that's already there.
01:09:57.500 --> 01:09:59.300
And then that final point.
01:09:59.500 --> 01:10:01.300
Can a man have protective devices
01:10:01.500 --> 01:10:03.300
in order to protect his family
01:10:03.500 --> 01:10:05.300
once they are in the shelter
01:10:05.500 --> 01:10:08.300
from let's say strangers that try to use a crowbar to get in?
01:10:08.500 --> 01:10:11.300
I'd say from what I have been talking about,
01:10:11.500 --> 01:10:13.300
the matter of self-defense,
01:10:13.500 --> 01:10:15.300
it would be wise for a man
01:10:15.300 --> 01:10:17.100
to at least weigh the possibility
01:10:17.300 --> 01:10:20.100
of putting some protective devices in his shelter
01:10:20.300 --> 01:10:23.100
together with the other elements of his survival kit.
01:10:30.300 --> 01:10:33.100
All right, you've been down there eight to ten days,
01:10:33.300 --> 01:10:35.100
you come out and you find that
01:10:35.300 --> 01:10:38.100
half or three quarters of Los Angeles has been destroyed.
01:10:38.300 --> 01:10:40.100
Well, how are you going to continue to live?
01:10:40.300 --> 01:10:42.100
Well, the first thing we have to recognize
01:10:42.300 --> 01:10:44.100
is that if half of Los Angeles is destroyed,
01:10:44.100 --> 01:10:46.900
maybe 80, 90 percent of the people will be dead
01:10:47.100 --> 01:10:48.900
and there will be fewer mouths to feed
01:10:49.100 --> 01:10:50.900
and those of us who will survive
01:10:51.100 --> 01:10:53.900
will have more water and food to divide up.
01:11:14.100 --> 01:11:17.900
There's thirteen women and only one man in town
01:11:20.100 --> 01:11:23.900
Thirteen women and only one man in town
01:11:25.100 --> 01:11:27.900
And as funny as it may be
01:11:28.100 --> 01:11:30.900
The one and only man in town is me
01:11:31.100 --> 01:11:34.900
Well, thirteen women be the only man around
01:11:44.100 --> 01:11:46.900
I had two girls every morning
01:11:47.100 --> 01:11:48.900
Instant rice
01:11:49.100 --> 01:11:50.900
Seeing that I was well fed
01:11:51.100 --> 01:11:52.900
Corn flakes
01:11:53.100 --> 01:11:54.900
I believe you made one sweet money
01:11:55.100 --> 01:11:56.900
Dried foods
01:11:57.100 --> 01:11:57.900
While another one burned in my brain
01:11:58.100 --> 01:11:59.900
Cheese
01:12:00.100 --> 01:12:01.900
Macaroni
01:12:03.100 --> 01:12:04.900
Instant potatoes
01:12:05.100 --> 01:12:09.900
Boom
01:12:10.100 --> 01:12:13.900
Something exploded down inside
01:12:14.100 --> 01:12:16.900
And Royce tears up in my eyes
01:12:17.100 --> 01:12:18.900
Oh yes
01:12:19.100 --> 01:12:21.900
I have that funny feeling
01:12:22.100 --> 01:12:23.900
I guess
01:12:24.100 --> 01:12:27.900
It's my atomic love
01:12:28.100 --> 01:12:31.900
For you
01:12:34.100 --> 01:12:38.900
Our artillery and our tactical air force in the Pacific
01:12:39.100 --> 01:12:41.900
are now equipped at this moment
01:12:41.900 --> 01:12:45.700
with atomic explosives which can and will be used
01:12:45.900 --> 01:12:49.700
on military targets with precision and effectiveness.
01:12:49.900 --> 01:12:51.700
It's just...
01:12:55.900 --> 01:12:57.700
On the steps of the nation's capital
01:12:57.900 --> 01:13:00.700
the bell announcing the opening of Mental Health Week
01:13:00.900 --> 01:13:04.700
is rung by Vice President Nixon and Senator Smathers of Florida.
01:13:04.900 --> 01:13:07.700
Characterizing mental health as the nation's number one problem
01:13:07.900 --> 01:13:09.700
the Vice President says that the ringing of the bell
01:13:09.700 --> 01:13:13.500
throughout the nation will be a reminder of suffering Americans.
01:13:35.700 --> 01:13:38.500
By all means, provide some tranquilizers
01:13:38.500 --> 01:13:42.300
to ease the strain and monotony of life in a shelter.
01:13:42.500 --> 01:13:46.300
A bottle of 100 should be adequate for a family of four.
01:13:46.500 --> 01:13:51.300
Tranquilizers are not a narcotic and are not habit forming.
01:13:51.500 --> 01:13:56.300
And by the way, do you know exactly what your family would do
01:13:56.500 --> 01:13:58.300
if an attack came?
01:13:58.500 --> 01:14:01.300
Say at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
01:14:01.500 --> 01:14:04.300
It's a good question, isn't it?
01:14:08.500 --> 01:14:11.300
As they were meant to, dearest.
01:14:11.500 --> 01:14:13.300
George.
01:14:13.500 --> 01:14:16.300
I drink this toast to my bride-to-be.
01:14:16.500 --> 01:14:18.300
Darling.
01:14:18.500 --> 01:14:23.300
Darling, and I toast the most wonderful man in all the world.
01:14:27.500 --> 01:14:31.300
Why, Lucy, your eyes are filled with tears.
01:14:31.500 --> 01:14:35.300
I'm sorry, but I'm not a man who can drink.
01:14:35.300 --> 01:14:38.100
Why, Lucy, your eyes are filled with tears.
01:14:38.300 --> 01:14:41.100
My heart is filled with gladness.
01:14:41.300 --> 01:14:44.100
Oh, look, the orchestra's getting ready.
01:14:44.300 --> 01:14:46.100
Dance with me, George.
01:14:52.300 --> 01:14:55.100
George, I wonder if we've thought this through.
01:14:55.300 --> 01:14:57.100
I'm afraid for you, George.
01:14:57.300 --> 01:15:00.100
Oh, nonsense, my silly.
01:15:00.300 --> 01:15:01.100
Yes, George, afraid.
01:15:01.300 --> 01:15:03.100
My fiance, Luther Marshall, she...
01:15:03.100 --> 01:15:05.900
We interrupt our normal program in the interest of security
01:15:06.100 --> 01:15:07.900
and civil defense measures
01:15:08.100 --> 01:15:09.900
as requested by the United States government.
01:15:10.100 --> 01:15:11.900
Attention, attention.
01:15:12.100 --> 01:15:13.900
This is an official civil defense warning.
01:15:14.100 --> 01:15:15.900
This is not a test.
01:15:16.100 --> 01:15:18.900
The United States is under nuclear attack.
01:15:19.100 --> 01:15:22.900
Take cover immediately in your area fallout shelter.
01:15:23.100 --> 01:15:25.900
Repeat, the United States is under nuclear attack.
01:15:25.900 --> 01:15:28.700
This is an official civil defense broadcast.
01:15:28.900 --> 01:15:32.700
Enemy aircraft are over Canada and headed this way.
01:15:32.900 --> 01:15:34.700
Normal broadcasting has been discontinued
01:15:34.900 --> 01:15:37.700
until after this emergency has passed.
01:15:55.900 --> 01:15:58.700
The United States is under nuclear attack.
01:15:58.900 --> 01:16:02.700
Take cover immediately in your area fallout shelter.
01:16:04.900 --> 01:16:07.700
Repeat, the nation is under nuclear attack.
01:16:07.900 --> 01:16:10.700
This is an official civil defense broadcast.
01:16:10.900 --> 01:16:13.700
This is an official civil defense broadcast.
01:16:13.900 --> 01:16:16.700

This is an official civil defense broadcast.
01:16:25.900 --> 01:16:27.700
This is an extreme emergency.
01:16:27.900 --> 01:16:29.700
You are urged to remain calm.
01:16:29.900 --> 01:16:33.700
Proceed to your designated shelter without delay.
01:16:33.900 --> 01:16:36.700
This is an official civil defense warning.
01:16:36.900 --> 01:16:38.700
This is not a test.
01:16:38.900 --> 01:16:41.700
The United States is under nuclear attack.
01:16:41.900 --> 01:16:44.700
Take cover immediately in your area fallout shelter.
01:16:44.900 --> 01:16:48.700
Repeat, the United States is under nuclear attack.
01:16:48.900 --> 01:16:52.700
Take cover immediately in your area fallout shelter.
01:16:55.900 --> 01:16:59.700
Now children, I want you to sit down here against the wall.
01:16:59.900 --> 01:17:01.700
That's it.
01:17:01.900 --> 01:17:04.700
Now, crouch tight up against it.
01:17:04.900 --> 01:17:08.700
Now listen kids, if they're dropping an atomic bomb,
01:17:08.900 --> 01:17:11.700
it may go off any second now.
01:17:11.900 --> 01:17:14.700
Whatever happens, I'll give the signal
01:17:14.900 --> 01:17:16.700
when it's all right for us to get up.
01:17:16.900 --> 01:17:18.700
If there's an explosion, we'll wait about a minute
01:17:18.900 --> 01:17:20.700
after it's all over, then we'll go upstairs
01:17:20.900 --> 01:17:23.700
and take a look around, see if it's all right.
01:17:23.700 --> 01:17:25.500
We'll go upstairs and take a look around,
01:17:25.700 --> 01:17:27.500
see if it's all right for us to clean up.
01:17:53.700 --> 01:17:56.500

and all this debris.
01:20:53.700 --> 01:20:57.500
All in all, I'd say we've been very lucky around here.

Nothing to do now but wait for orders from the authorities

and leaves me sad and blue

The iron curtain falls

on this Cold War with you
01:21:30.700 --> 01:21:33.500

and I won't speak
01:21:36.700 --> 01:21:39.500
That's true
01:21:39.700 --> 01:21:43.500
Two stubborn people

with a Cold War to go through
01:21:49.500 --> 01:21:54.300
Oh, why, oh, why should love ever come
01:21:54.500 --> 01:21:59.300
