Fallout shelter prototype in Roanoke, Virginia, 1961.
@historyinmemes My grandparents had one in the ground.
@historyinmemes Did you listen to the lyrics of the song in this video? 👀 I should feel bad for thinking it’s a little funny. 😆
@historyinmemes I think we were better prepared back then to be honest.
@historyinmemes The video is cool. But what's up with that song 😆😆😆
@historyinmemes This video reminds me of when in the Navy, as a Corpsman in 1978, I joined PSR. after being shown the ludacracy in thinking we could survive a nuclear war.
@historyinmemes This probably broke a lot of news back then
@historyinmemes Fascinating historical glimpse into Cold War-era preparations!
