The entire concept is so dumb. First it assumes you're in a concrete building, and next it assumes - but never even says - that you somehow know the blast is coming. And the writing is all over the place too; it's just a bizarre article that makes no sense.
Relevant film recommendation: “On the Beach” - about life in Melbourne in the 60s as “the last of humanity”, with the cloud of radiation heading to wipe them out…
It’s excellent. Especially the ending, with empty streets and everyone just… Gone.
Novel is by Neville Shute, I believe, who was trained as an aeronautical engineer. I haven’t read it, but I believe it is good, too.
I don’t actually believe that we are headed for that (YMMV), but it is an excellent piece of celluloid, and time capsule, if nothing else.
They made a doco on the production and background about a decade ago, I believe…
Yeah but I don't honestly believe they would be a "ruling class" after a nuclear war. It would be madness but the survivors who don't die off and adapt are gonna be hard as nails and armed as fuck. Like you're not gonna be able to just pop out of a bunker and tell those people "please be peasants for us again".
Literally step 1:
-Be inside a solid reinforced concrete building that doesn't happen to collapse.
I'm not sure how applicable this is going to be to most people.
Step 1: Confirm your vault has a backup water chip.
If you're lucky, the blast will instantly vaporize you and leave an ashy shadow where you once stood.
Is this not… Fairly common sense stuff..?
I know pretty much all of this, and I don’t seem to be the most “knowledgeable” person around…
I honestly thought most of this was pretty obvious, to most people.

Ah, so we're back to that. I'm getting deja vu. And it's all the dang Russians' fault again! REEEEE.

I remember seeing that in the cinema.
Go where women go. That's the answer. Everyone else's shelter will "fail".
This is the UK we're talking about.
I liked the part about "How to survive a nuclear explosion".
This kind of helpful 'advice' Is what the ruling class is planning the for peasants. They're softening us up for ideas of madness.

That may be the worst advice I've ever heard.
