This is the first I've heard of any chimney effect. And here they made us feel so prepared, lol. Get this: back on reddit I had people arguing that younger generations were affected by the cold war more. Even after the USSR fell. Public education just turns their minds to mush, apparently.
I imagine where bomb drills did and did not take place was very much a local decision. I was born in 64 and never experienced one outside of elementary school.
YEs, the chimney effect was a very recent discovery for me as well, but it makes perfect sense with the laws of physics. The "BIG BOOM' is going to draw ALL the air from ground level, up and into the famous mushroom cloud. You can see the wind effect in the OLD b&w movies of the fake towns they 'tested the effects of The Bomb on"
and I think the choices are also based on the historical time line. You came to the world in '64, add 05 years, and its '66, right at the historical end time of the Cold War. This writer was born in 1950, right at the Start of the Cold War
Your right the younger generation is full of 'horse hockey' the Cold War had near zero effect on them, unless they were living in a Communist Nation
