1980s for me. Then I'm 40 years from this shit and 20 years from 9/11.

Back to the time when you could smoke in a restaurant or on a plane.

Back to a time when getting on a national flight didn't require ID, just your ticket.

It was to protect from flying glass and falling ceilings. Do a little research on the subject.

Duck and cover would save thousands/millions. Even back then when the arsenals were much larger an all out assault would have consisted of 1,000 or so population centers.

Map them (I have mapped them in Google Earth).

The percentage of people in the outer blast radius that would be saved by being under a desk when a building partially collapses is significant.

In the inner blast radius (an actually small area, nothing short of being in the sewers or subways underground will save you).
