You're not really gonna have time for that... The shock wave takes minutes or less to hit you. Would you run for an elevator in a high rise if an earth quack started?

I'm definitely stupid to try running but not stupid enough to live in an earthquake zone or within a 1000 mile of an active techtonic plate or fault line

The big thing indeed here is the shockwave, but more specifically flying glass is the main reason to duck and cover.
At 1+ psi a window gets instantly transformed to a rain of razorsharp shards zipping through the air. If you are in a city hit by a nuke, theres a very high risk of being hit by glass. And it isnt the same as falling through a window, if you're close to a blast those shards come at you like they're shot from a crossbow.
When theres a thunderstorm I close the curtains of the room I'm in, so that in case lightning strikes close, I'll not get gored by the glass.
And guys, NO. Dont run when a shockwave comes at you at 1000 foot per second, thats just silly. And its not gonna feel like someone took a flash photo, its gonna feel like you got punched in the eyes and you're at once standing in front of a huge oven. We're talking light so bright that if you in reflex, you will see the bones of your hands through your closed eyelids.

The debris in the blast would be brutal, like a hot air tsunami shredding everythign in its path
I'd be totally fucked where i live no hope of survival totally vapourised in the initial blast, if someone wanted to nuke Britain and damage our military infrastructure I live 1.5 mile from the Vickers tank yards on the river Tyne i think they would be a major targetting choice.

I think these videos really show exactly how much our governments give a fuck about the regular man, this is the level of protection and advice they offered to us in the hight of the Cold War when they really believed we were on the edge of an atomic war.
yeah no shit, a kids cartoon, like wtf
same with all the world war 2 propaganda, but that was at least entertaining. for the cold war we get a stupid kids song. looks like an early 80's coca cola commercial but they replaced the lyrics and added a video or something

Listen those mother fucking school desks will protect you from a hydrogen bomb, tornadoes, earthquakes, but if an ember spills into the hall- GTFO that school because fire is super effective!

well... if a hydrogen bomb is detonated, only the outer edge of the blast zone will people survive. if you think an atom bomb literally vaporizes everything, you should see how much more powerful a hydrogen bomb is, it will vaporize the damn vapor, and vaporize that as well
people seem to say that hydrogen bombs somehow produce much less radiation. but honestly, i'm not doubting that danger either. i'd imagine there would be a lot of fallout. best bet for surviving is a fallout shelter etc.

clearly duck and covering under a desk is a far superior choice if our government has made a cartoon turtle to illustrate the problem. Men in white coats will come to your aid when a bomb goes off! YAY GOVERnMENT
