I’m 50 and didn’t get those bomb drills- I’m surprised you did.
under desk is the right place for bombs. Ifithe bomb hits your block you are dead no matter what, but if it hits several blocks away the desk protects against flying glass and other such things. That is there is a high livelyhood your buileing survivies but the glass still kills or harms people.
This is also what i heard and makes sense but surely a basement that is already used for Tornado drills is still the safer option?
Technically they never even would have to inform the kids there is a bomb, the essential part is getting to safety quickly. But then how do you red scare them?
You have more warning about a tornado generally. Not much but minutes vs seconds makes a difference. If you can get to a tornado or bomb shelter those are better but getting caught in the open getting there is a problem.
Come to think of it a tornado shelter isnfc built stong enourh. If thick walls will collapse on you that is worse than a thin roof which slows the blast energy and then your desk protects you from the debre
