It was an air raid drill. The schools would run a drill for an aerial attack becuse it was commonly used during ww2 and we practiced it in the 60's in school but our school was equipped with a hallway that was air raid safe. So we all went there. However it was determined to be useless in a nuclear attack and the practice was eliminated as were almost all of the home bomb shelters.In other words there is no protection from a nuclear attack.Your only alternative is to bomb them while they are bombing you.

This was formerly used in the United States to "protect" against a nuclear attack if it ever occured at school. The students were instructed to duck and hide under thier desks until the drill was over. After the collapse of the USSR, the drill was scene as no longer needed and it was discontinued from the school system.

During the '50's and 60's it was a drill.They told kids to duck and cover under their school desks incase of a nuke went off.They even had a mascot and cartoon to help scare the kids.

I believe it's from an attack. Remember the drills you use to have about earthquakes? Get under the desk?
Sort of like that, but modified for todays threats

Air raid drills we used to have back interior the 50's for the time of the chilly conflict. the instructor might say "flash" and we had to duck under our desks or out interior the halls and canopy our eyes until the "all clean" sign.
