1
00:00:38,495 --> 00:00:41,362
https://1337x.to/user/HashMiner/These are their
approximate locations.
2
00:00:41,376 --> 00:00:44,243
To each of them
Russia has probably allocated
3
00:00:44,257 --> 00:00:48,091
a certain number of her
intermediate-range nuclear missiles,
4
00:00:48,066 --> 00:00:49,397
which are at this moment
5
00:00:49,475 --> 00:00:53,571
pointing at military objectives
in Western Europe.
6
00:00:53,988 --> 00:00:55,922
And to each of these locations,
7
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:57,931
being those 25 key cities
8
00:00:57,990 --> 00:01:02,654
in which reside almost one third
of the entire population of Britain,
9
00:01:02,598 --> 00:01:04,361
Russia has probably allocated
10
00:01:04,423 --> 00:01:08,860
a further unknown quantity
of thermo-nuclear missiles.
11
00:01:09,705 --> 00:01:13,004
Each of these cities
and each of these airfields
12
00:01:13,002 --> 00:01:15,061
combine to crowd into Britain
13
00:01:15,114 --> 00:01:18,982
more potential nuclear targets
per acre of land mass
14
00:01:18,987 --> 00:01:21,649
than in any other country
in the world.
15
00:01:24,557 --> 00:01:27,390
London,
Friday the 16th of September.
16
00:01:27,566 --> 00:01:30,364
It's just been confirmed
that late last night,
17
00:01:30,383 --> 00:01:32,476
to show collective Communist support
18
00:01:32,527 --> 00:01:35,087
for the Chinese invasion
of South Vietnam,
19
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,020
the Russian and East German
authorities
20
00:01:37,073 --> 00:01:40,201
have sealed off all access
to the city of Berlin
21
00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:41,370
and have stated their intention
22
00:01:41,459 --> 00:01:45,589
of occupying the western half
of the city within 48 hours
23
00:01:45,556 --> 00:01:49,014
unless the Americans in Vietnam
withdraw yesterday's decision
24
00:01:49,012 --> 00:01:53,346
to use tactical nuclear weapons
against invading Chinese forces.
25
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:54,648
Here in Britain,
26
00:01:54,807 --> 00:01:58,299
Her Majesty's Government has declared
a state of national emergency
27
00:01:58,295 --> 00:02:01,458
to last the duration
of the present crisis.
28
00:02:01,464 --> 00:02:06,197
As from 12 noon today, the central
government will cease to function
29
00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:07,967
and the administration of the country
30
00:02:08,026 --> 00:02:11,484
will be handled
by 15 regional commissioners.
31
00:02:11,484 --> 00:02:15,853
A network of emergency committees
consisting of local councillors
32
00:02:15,836 --> 00:02:20,500
is being set up in every major town
and county borough in the country.
33
00:02:20,478 --> 00:02:23,743
In view of the seriousness
of the international situation,
34
00:02:23,743 --> 00:02:25,370
Her Majesty's Government has decided
35
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:28,203
that the first task
of these committees
36
00:02:28,224 --> 00:02:32,354
will be to implement the evacuation
of a certain proportion of civilians
37
00:02:32,321 --> 00:02:35,950
to safer areas in Wales,
the Lake District,
38
00:02:35,939 --> 00:02:38,100
pans of Northumberland,
the Midlands,
39
00:02:38,147 --> 00:02:42,243
southwest England, Dorset,
East Sussex and Kent.
40
00:02:42,341 --> 00:02:46,334
In accordance with the 1962
Government plan for evacuation,
41
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:47,742
this dispersal is to apply
42
00:02:47,814 --> 00:02:51,443
only to certain
specified classes of civilians.
43
00:02:51,752 --> 00:02:53,617
As from 0900 tomorrow,
44
00:02:53,672 --> 00:02:57,438
we are to receive a total quota
of 60,000 evacuees
45
00:02:57,417 --> 00:02:59,942
in five priority classes.
46
00:02:59,946 --> 00:03:03,814
Class one: children under 15
travelling with mothers.
47
00:03:03,819 --> 00:03:07,084
Class two: schoolchildren
under the age of 18.
48
00:03:07,084 --> 00:03:10,349
Class three: adolescents
under the age of 18.
49
00:03:10,349 --> 00:03:12,647
Class four: expectant mothers.
50
00:03:12,686 --> 00:03:16,782
Class five: people who are blind,
crippled, aged or infirm.
51
00:03:16,783 --> 00:03:20,116
- Are there any fathers?
- No. No fathers.
52
00:03:22,225 --> 00:03:25,820
This woman is arriving
from Bermondsey into Kent.
53
00:03:26,034 --> 00:03:29,060
She and the other women
on this evacuation bus
54
00:03:29,074 --> 00:03:34,376
have had to leave their husbands
and elder sons behind in London.
55
00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:37,093
According to the last published
government plan,
56
00:03:37,109 --> 00:03:40,670
there is no provision made for
granting the facilities of evacuation
57
00:03:40,662 --> 00:03:44,530
to able-bodied men
over the age of 18.
58
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,751
It is therefore
even at this early point
59
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,930
that an attempt at
mass evacuation might fail,
60
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:54,059
because it's not known
how many women
61
00:03:54,074 --> 00:03:57,805
would refuse to leave
their husband and their home
62
00:03:57,755 --> 00:04:01,555
to journey with restricted
possessions to an unknown town,
63
00:04:01,532 --> 00:04:05,696
there to be compulsorily billeted
with an unknown family.
64
00:04:09,695 --> 00:04:12,789
Prepare yourself tomorrow
to receive 10 evacuees,
65
00:04:12,832 --> 00:04:14,959
arriving from the London area
sometime tomorrow morning.
66
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,668
- What am I going to feed them on?
- It's up to you, madam.
67
00:04:17,761 --> 00:04:18,659
Are they coloured?
68
00:04:21,698 --> 00:04:26,032
Within a country where there is still
a degree of racial and social prejudice,
69
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:29,888
where there is still a shortage
of housing and living space,
70
00:04:29,861 --> 00:04:33,024
a number of measures
would almost certainly be necessary
71
00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:37,729
in attempting the evacuation
of an estimated 10 million people.
72
00:04:39,016 --> 00:04:42,645
For this woman, the compulsory
sheltering and feeding
73
00:04:42,601 --> 00:04:44,831
of an extra 8 people.
74
00:04:48,778 --> 00:04:51,303
For the family
who have fled this house,
75
00:04:51,371 --> 00:04:53,999
the immediate requisition
of their home.
76
00:04:56,237 --> 00:05:00,697
For this man, perhaps imprisonment
if he refuses to billet.
77
00:05:00,654 --> 00:05:03,179
- 8 evacuees for you.
- 8? I'm not having 8.
78
00:05:03,215 --> 00:05:04,512
Sorry, sir. You've got to take 8.
79
00:05:04,591 --> 00:05:07,185
I don't mind two. I haven't got
enough food in there for 8.
80
00:05:07,216 --> 00:05:08,513
Don't argue. Don't argue.
81
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,586
I remind you that,
under the emergency regulations,
82
00:05:11,602 --> 00:05:15,060
with 4 rooms and a kitchen you can
be forced to take 8 people.
83
00:05:15,058 --> 00:05:16,685
Bloody hell.
84
00:05:16,979 --> 00:05:18,640
Should Britain ever thus attempt
85
00:05:18,707 --> 00:05:23,110
the evacuation of nearly 20%
of her entire population,
86
00:05:23,061 --> 00:05:27,122
such scenes as these
would be almost inevitable.
87
00:05:28,822 --> 00:05:32,053
All citizens
resident within this area
88
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,216
are requested to proceed immediately
to the municipal offices
89
00:05:36,217 --> 00:05:40,449
to collect emergency identification
papers and ration cards.
90
00:05:40,378 --> 00:05:41,345
Name?
91
00:05:41,435 --> 00:05:44,404
Sue Wilkinson, 159 Thornton Avenue.
92
00:05:44,379 --> 00:05:49,078
Widow, children aged 19 and 21:
non-supplementary ration card.
93
00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:52,513
This entitles you to a basic ration
per week of two ounces of butter,
94
00:05:52,509 --> 00:05:54,067
a half a pound of margarine,
95
00:05:54,142 --> 00:05:56,007
two ounces of tea,
a quarter-pound of sugar,
96
00:05:56,063 --> 00:05:58,463
two eggs,
a half a pint of milk when available,
97
00:05:58,495 --> 00:06:00,588
a quarter-pound of meat,
two loaves of bread,
98
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,872
a pound of potatoes when available
and two ounces of bacon.
99
00:06:04,834 --> 00:06:07,894
It has been estimated that,
even if there were no war,
100
00:06:07,938 --> 00:06:12,705
Britain would need between 1%
to 4 years to recover economically
101
00:06:12,644 --> 00:06:16,102
from the effects of full-scale
civilian evacuation.
102
00:06:17,861 --> 00:06:20,022
And, if there were a war,
103
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:25,098
at least 20% of even the areas
into which people had been evacuated
104
00:06:25,063 --> 00:06:28,260
would themselves be rendered
totally uninhabitable
105
00:06:28,264 --> 00:06:30,698
by the resulting radioactive fail-out.
106
00:06:35,434 --> 00:06:40,599
Carbon-H is one of the most dangerous
elements of radioactive fall-out.
107
00:06:40,716 --> 00:06:43,241
Do you know what it does
to the human body?
108
00:06:44,461 --> 00:06:45,928
I'm sorry. I haven't heard of it.
109
00:06:46,158 --> 00:06:49,753
I'm afraid I don't know much
about atomic radiation at all.
110
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,965
No, I don't.
111
00:06:51,632 --> 00:06:53,031
No, I'm sorry. I don't know.
112
00:07:03,795 --> 00:07:07,697
Do you know what strontium-Ml is
and what it does?
113
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:14,225
No. No, I'm afraid I don't.
114
00:07:14,998 --> 00:07:15,623
No, I don't.
115
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:18,363
I've no idea really.
116
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,763
I know it's some sort of gunpowder
or something, that blows up.
117
00:07:26,073 --> 00:07:26,767
In Berlin
118
00:07:27,098 --> 00:07:32,365
with rioting West German civilians
and armed East German police,
119
00:07:33,339 --> 00:07:35,307
there would probably be found
120
00:07:35,356 --> 00:07:37,688
the necessary flash point.
121
00:07:58,884 --> 00:08:00,408
Berlin?
122
00:08:01,284 --> 00:08:03,514
No. They've had all this before.
123
00:08:04,549 --> 00:08:05,709
I think it'll die down.
124
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:13,355
I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
125
00:08:16,937 --> 00:08:20,065
No, there won't be a war.
I'm quite convinced of that.
126
00:08:20,650 --> 00:08:22,379
September the 17th.
127
00:08:22,507 --> 00:08:26,876
British Civil Defence deliver
to the public for the first time
128
00:08:26,796 --> 00:08:30,994
details of the hazards to be expected
from radioactive fall-out.
129
00:08:31,053 --> 00:08:34,216
Would you please read this booklet
and carry out the instructions.
130
00:08:34,222 --> 00:08:35,382
But what is it?
131
00:08:35,406 --> 00:08:38,398
It's a Civil Defence booklet, "Your
Protection Against Nuclear Attack".
132
00:08:38,416 --> 00:08:40,680
- But I...
- Good morning, madam.
133
00:08:41,488 --> 00:08:42,978
Excuse me.
134
00:08:43,377 --> 00:08:44,537
What are you doing here exactly?
135
00:08:44,625 --> 00:08:47,924
We're issuing to as many householders
as possible a copy of this booklet,
136
00:08:47,954 --> 00:08:50,855
which tells them how to prepare their
houses against blast and fall-out.
137
00:08:50,867 --> 00:08:52,801
Have people not seen
this booklet before?
138
00:08:52,851 --> 00:08:56,617
A copy was prepared some years
ago but it didn't sell very well.
139
00:08:56,565 --> 00:08:59,728
- It wasn't... It wasn't free?
- Oh, no. It cost ninepence.
140
00:09:01,815 --> 00:09:05,080
The siren system is now being tested.
141
00:09:05,047 --> 00:09:08,039
Tests will cease
in a quarter of an hour.
142
00:09:08,216 --> 00:09:12,050
It's been estimated that,
by the time an incoming missile attack
143
00:09:12,057 --> 00:09:15,959
could be confirmed to
the British National Siren System,
144
00:09:15,963 --> 00:09:19,399
there would remain before impact
a warning time
145
00:09:19,483 --> 00:09:23,544
of approximately 2% to 3 minutes.
146
00:09:24,093 --> 00:09:27,654
And should the attacking missiles
be launched from submarines
147
00:09:27,678 --> 00:09:30,545
lying off the shores of Britain,
148
00:09:30,527 --> 00:09:33,655
the warning time
could be less than 30 seconds.
149
00:09:34,368 --> 00:09:35,392
Move along, there.
150
00:09:35,521 --> 00:09:38,615
The Civil Defence report have said
that we were going to get
151
00:09:38,626 --> 00:09:43,893
stuff to shore up our windows and
barricade ourselves in with.
152
00:09:44,195 --> 00:09:46,129
They didn't tell us where to get it.
153
00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:49,809
I've been around three places already
and all the stuffs gone.
154
00:09:50,085 --> 00:09:51,017
And the prices...
155
00:09:51,206 --> 00:09:53,538
My prices at the moment
run as follows:
156
00:09:53,606 --> 00:09:56,734
hessian sacks for sandbags, 10 for £1;
157
00:09:56,743 --> 00:09:59,871
sand to put in them,
24 shillings per cubic yard;
158
00:09:59,848 --> 00:10:03,045
soil, £710s per 5 cubic yards;
159
00:10:03,081 --> 00:10:06,312
deal planks, 8d to a shilling per ft.
160
00:10:06,281 --> 00:10:10,581
How much money have you to
spend on building your refuge?
161
00:10:11,051 --> 00:10:12,678
Well...
162
00:10:13,388 --> 00:10:18,621
Well, I can't afford more than
17/6 to £1 at the very most.
163
00:10:18,733 --> 00:10:19,995
For this amount of money,
164
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:23,844
she may purchase
8 sandbags and 6 planks.
165
00:10:23,951 --> 00:10:25,885
A friend of mine's
a building contractor
166
00:10:25,935 --> 00:10:28,301
and he's fixed me up
with some stuff.
167
00:10:28,688 --> 00:10:31,953
I've got this out here
which should help a bit
168
00:10:32,305 --> 00:10:33,932
and inside I've...
169
00:10:34,675 --> 00:10:37,371
I've built a refuge like they say.
170
00:10:37,811 --> 00:10:39,745
I reckon it should be pretty strong,
171
00:10:39,828 --> 00:10:41,455
hold up quite well.
172
00:10:41,941 --> 00:10:46,605
And I had a few sandbags left over
so I built another out in the garden.
173
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:50,033
It is likely that many thousands
of families in Britain
174
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:53,975
would be unable to meet the cost
of even one substantial shelter
175
00:10:53,976 --> 00:10:57,571
and a Government shelter programme
for every person in the country
176
00:10:57,561 --> 00:11:02,021
would cost an estimated
two thousand million pounds.
177
00:11:02,523 --> 00:11:05,219
And I keep this here.
178
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,330
And I certainly intend to use it
179
00:11:09,341 --> 00:11:11,809
if anyone attempts
to break into the shelter with me.
180
00:11:11,933 --> 00:11:17,394
A recent American religious journal
told its Christian readers
181
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:20,938
to think twice before they rashly
gave their family shelter space
182
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,258
to neighbours or the passing stranger.
183
00:11:25,377 --> 00:11:26,935
September the 18th.
184
00:11:27,138 --> 00:11:29,902
One hour ago, following
an armed entry into West Berlin
185
00:11:29,922 --> 00:11:31,913
by Russian and East German troops,
186
00:11:31,972 --> 00:11:36,739
two NATO armoured divisions attempted
to force an entry through to the city
187
00:11:36,965 --> 00:11:40,696
and were themselves overrun
by outnumbering Communist forces.
188
00:11:40,806 --> 00:11:42,239
Faced with this situation,
189
00:11:42,439 --> 00:11:45,875
it is possible that the American
president would have no choice
190
00:11:45,895 --> 00:11:50,332
but to threaten to release tactical
nuclear warheads to the forces of NATO
191
00:11:50,313 --> 00:11:52,645
to show collective determination
192
00:11:52,682 --> 00:11:55,515
in the event of
a possible Russian attack.
193
00:11:55,562 --> 00:11:57,029
Faced with this situation,
194
00:11:57,099 --> 00:12:01,297
the Soviet premier would possibly
be left with no alternative
195
00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:03,820
but to call this bluff and attack.
196
00:12:04,845 --> 00:12:07,006
The local area commander
197
00:12:07,054 --> 00:12:10,353
has authorised the release
of tactical nuclear weapons
198
00:12:10,319 --> 00:12:12,981
to the British, French and Bundeswehr.
199
00:12:13,296 --> 00:12:17,027
15 crew up
for a fast sequence of firing.
200
00:12:18,641 --> 00:12:21,439
This is a tactical nuclear missile.
201
00:12:21,490 --> 00:12:25,392
It has a warhead
equivalent to one Hiroshima bomb.
202
00:12:25,427 --> 00:12:27,759
It is called an Honest John.
203
00:12:27,796 --> 00:12:30,230
The Honest John, the Mace,
the Corporal,
204
00:12:30,293 --> 00:12:31,885
the Pershing, the Sergeant.
205
00:12:31,957 --> 00:12:33,322
And if things don't get better soon
206
00:12:33,398 --> 00:12:36,765
all these weapons are going to be
slamming away nuclear warheads
207
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:38,249
and then God help us all!
208
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:44,151
It is now planned to increase
NATO reliability on nuclear missiles,
209
00:12:44,217 --> 00:12:47,744
even should the Russians attack
using ordinary weapons.
210
00:12:47,994 --> 00:12:51,555
Thus it is possible for the Allies
to be the first to press the button
211
00:12:52,251 --> 00:12:53,616
in a nuclear war.
212
00:12:58,910 --> 00:13:01,504
- Did you know this?
- No, I did not.
213
00:13:01,630 --> 00:13:03,097
I was vaguely aware of it.
214
00:13:03,135 --> 00:13:05,330
Yes, I did know and
I think it's disgraceful.
215
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,067
No, I didn't know this at all.
216
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,758
No. I should think
it'd be a good thing.
217
00:13:26,214 --> 00:13:28,114
David Edward Thornley.
218
00:13:28,166 --> 00:13:29,690
Age 37.
219
00:13:30,247 --> 00:13:32,613
General practitioner in medicine,
220
00:13:32,647 --> 00:13:36,674
now on the staff of one of a series
of emergency medical-aid units
221
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:40,343
being established
in preparation for a nuclear strike.
222
00:13:40,330 --> 00:13:42,924
Time 9: 1' 1' am.
223
00:13:42,923 --> 00:13:45,084
September the 18th.
224
00:13:45,227 --> 00:13:48,685
Dr Thornley stops
to make an emergency call.
225
00:13:48,716 --> 00:13:51,207
Berwick Street, Canterbury,
226
00:13:51,374 --> 00:13:55,606
12 miles from the airfield
at Mansion on the Kent coast.
227
00:14:02,672 --> 00:14:04,003
- Good morning, Doctor.
- Morning!
228
00:14:04,081 --> 00:14:05,673
- Come in, please.
- What's the trouble today?
229
00:14:05,714 --> 00:14:07,614
She's been running
a temperature all night.
230
00:14:07,698 --> 00:14:11,862
Of the 750 intermediate-range
ballistic missiles
231
00:14:11,859 --> 00:14:13,759
at present held by the Russians
232
00:14:13,812 --> 00:14:17,578
and targeted on the European
countries of the NATO alliance,
233
00:14:17,557 --> 00:14:21,323
it is believed that a considerable
number are liquid-fuelled
234
00:14:21,303 --> 00:14:23,897
and are stored above ground.
235
00:14:24,184 --> 00:14:28,985
Such missiles are therefore
themselves extremely vulnerable
236
00:14:28,888 --> 00:14:33,154
and, rather than risk losing them
in a counter-bombardment,
237
00:14:33,114 --> 00:14:36,481
it is likely that the Russians
would have no alternative
238
00:14:36,474 --> 00:14:41,605
but to fire all of them at a very
early stage in such a crisis.
239
00:14:43,292 --> 00:14:45,692
Time 9:13 am.
240
00:14:53,984 --> 00:14:56,646
Quick, let's get back!
There's no time!
241
00:14:57,345 --> 00:15:00,212
Hurry up inside the house! Quickly!
242
00:15:00,225 --> 00:15:03,160
Move! Come on, come on!
Quick, quick!
243
00:15:03,331 --> 00:15:07,062
This family couldn't afford
to build themselves a refuge.
244
00:15:07,012 --> 00:15:11,642
This could be the way the last two
minutes of peace in Britain would look.
245
00:15:11,557 --> 00:15:14,890
Stay away from the windows!
Get all the children!
246
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:18,010
Peter! Tony! Tony!
247
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,196
Where is he? Where is he?
Think! Where is he?
248
00:15:22,728 --> 00:15:26,721
Nurse, quick. There's a boy outside.
Go and fetch him as quickly as you can.
249
00:15:26,698 --> 00:15:28,325
9:16 am.
250
00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:32,626
A single megaton nuclear missile
overshoots Mansion airfield in Kent
251
00:15:32,619 --> 00:15:35,952
and airbursts
6 miles from this position.
252
00:15:41,998 --> 00:15:43,295
At this distance,
253
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:47,436
the heatwave is sufficient to cause
melting of the upturned eyeball,
254
00:15:47,504 --> 00:15:50,735
third-degree burning of the skin
and ignition of furniture.
255
00:15:57,075 --> 00:16:00,533
12 seconds later,
the shock from arrives.
256
00:16:26,140 --> 00:16:29,803
At 7/10ths of a millisecond
after the explosion,
257
00:16:29,788 --> 00:16:32,188
and at a distance of 60 miles,
258
00:16:32,221 --> 00:16:36,590
the light from the fireball of a
single megaton thermo-nuclear device
259
00:16:36,543 --> 00:16:39,979
is 30 times brighter
than the midday sun.
260
00:16:40,352 --> 00:16:43,753
This little boy has received
severe retinal burns
261
00:16:43,777 --> 00:16:46,746
from an explosion 27 miles away.
262
00:16:46,754 --> 00:16:47,914
Give him to me!
263
00:16:48,835 --> 00:16:50,496
What's the matter?
264
00:16:53,187 --> 00:16:57,556
This house lies 29 miles
from Mansion airfield
265
00:16:57,509 --> 00:17:01,502
and 41 miles
from Gatwick Airport in Sussex.
266
00:17:07,464 --> 00:17:08,556
Under the table.
267
00:17:08,681 --> 00:17:10,581
Under the table!
268
00:17:13,226 --> 00:17:16,389
The blast wave
from a thermo-nuclear explosion
269
00:17:16,395 --> 00:17:21,196
has been likened to an enormous door
slamming in the depths of hell.
270
00:17:58,455 --> 00:18:01,117
This is the combined shock from
271
00:18:01,144 --> 00:18:04,944
from one dispersal airfield
40 miles away.
272
00:18:10,907 --> 00:18:14,809
There are in Britain
at least 60 such targets.
273
00:18:20,382 --> 00:18:22,282
Rochester in Kent,
274
00:18:22,431 --> 00:18:24,922
now two square miles of fire,
275
00:18:24,927 --> 00:18:27,225
resulting from the heat
of a thermo-nuclear missile,
276
00:18:27,264 --> 00:18:31,758
which has exploded off-course
on its path to London Airport.
277
00:18:34,050 --> 00:18:37,679
This is the phenomenon which could
perhaps happen in Britain
278
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,601
following a nuclear strike
against certain of our cities.
279
00:18:41,412 --> 00:18:44,040
This happened
after the bombing of Hamburg,
280
00:18:44,101 --> 00:18:47,593
at Dresden, at Tokyo
and at Hiroshima.
281
00:18:47,622 --> 00:18:51,820
This is what is technically known
as a firestorm.
282
00:19:03,530 --> 00:19:07,057
Within its centre, the rising heat
from multiple fires,
283
00:19:07,052 --> 00:19:08,883
caused by both the heat flash
284
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:12,205
and the blast wave
upsetting stoves and open furnaces,
285
00:19:12,237 --> 00:19:14,364
is sucking in ground-level winds
286
00:19:14,414 --> 00:19:18,817
at speeds exceeding
100 miles an hour.
287
00:19:19,184 --> 00:19:21,778
This is the wind of a firestorm.
288
00:19:39,317 --> 00:19:41,182
I saw a man...
289
00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:46,216
get caught by a great gust of wind!
290
00:19:47,384 --> 00:19:50,478
It pulled his jacket
right over his head!
291
00:20:18,081 --> 00:20:22,848
I believe that we live in a system
of necessary law and order
292
00:20:25,444 --> 00:20:29,881
and I still believe
in the war of the just.
293
00:20:32,166 --> 00:20:35,863
Within this car,
a family is burning alive.
294
00:20:43,593 --> 00:20:46,653
Charles Brooks,
chief fire officer of Chatham.
295
00:20:46,698 --> 00:20:49,599
Already three of his appliances
have been smashed,
296
00:20:49,707 --> 00:20:51,504
gutted or overturned.
297
00:20:51,755 --> 00:20:57,022
"Already 17 of his 60 firemen have
been crushed, burnt or killed
298
00:20:56,941 --> 00:20:58,602
by flying debris.
299
00:21:03,343 --> 00:21:05,368
This is a firestorm.
300
00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:06,828
Within its centre,
301
00:21:06,928 --> 00:21:11,695
the oxygen is being consumed in every
cellar and every ground-floor room,
302
00:21:11,633 --> 00:21:16,593
to be replaced by the gases of carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane.
303
00:21:17,107 --> 00:21:22,602
Within its centre, the temperature
is rising to 800 degrees centigrade.
304
00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:25,109
These men are dying
305
00:21:25,142 --> 00:21:27,804
both of heatstroke and of gassing.
306
00:21:34,104 --> 00:21:38,006
In the next world war, I believe
that both sides could stop before
307
00:21:38,041 --> 00:21:40,168
the ultimate destruction of cities
308
00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:42,115
so that both sides could retire
309
00:21:42,138 --> 00:21:46,006
for a period of ten years or so
of post-attack recuperation,
310
00:21:46,012 --> 00:21:49,641
in which World Wars 4 to 8
could be prepared.
311
00:21:53,374 --> 00:21:57,140
When the carbon dioxide
content of inhaled air
312
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,485
is greater than 30%,
313
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:03,080
it will cause diminished respiration,
314
00:22:03,553 --> 00:22:05,521
fall of blood pressure,
315
00:22:05,889 --> 00:22:06,947
coma,
316
00:22:07,394 --> 00:22:09,123
loss of reflexes
317
00:22:09,667 --> 00:22:12,101
and anaesthesia.
318
00:22:13,124 --> 00:22:20,860
When the carbon monoxide content
of inhaled air exceeds 1.28%,
319
00:22:20,998 --> 00:22:23,831
it will be followed by death
320
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,259
within three minutes.
321
00:22:26,792 --> 00:22:29,226
This is nuclear war.
322
00:23:00,562 --> 00:23:02,052
10:47.
323
00:23:02,419 --> 00:23:07,220
Aircraft of the British V-bomber
force near the Russian border.
324
00:23:07,124 --> 00:23:09,718
Their purpose, retaliation.
325
00:23:09,972 --> 00:23:13,772
Their target, people like this.
326
00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:19,810
If the Russians or anyone else
attacked Britain with nuclear weapons,
327
00:23:19,768 --> 00:23:21,395
would you want us to retaliate
328
00:23:21,464 --> 00:23:24,763
by destroying an equal number
of Russian cities?
329
00:23:25,113 --> 00:23:26,978
Yes. Yes, I would. Yes.
330
00:23:27,162 --> 00:23:30,893
It's just a vicious circle but
I suppose we should have to retaliate.
331
00:23:31,131 --> 00:23:35,625
People think the British are always
sort of forgiving and forgetting
332
00:23:35,677 --> 00:23:37,975
and I think we'd have to retaliate.
333
00:23:53,826 --> 00:23:59,822
I wouldn't want us to stand back
and do nothing about it but...
334
00:24:02,725 --> 00:24:05,717
Yes, I think perhaps...
perhaps I would.
335
00:24:05,798 --> 00:24:07,732
Oh, yes, I think so, definitely.
336
00:24:07,846 --> 00:24:09,473
Yes, I suppose I would.
337
00:24:19,914 --> 00:24:22,405
Technically and intellectually,
338
00:24:22,667 --> 00:24:25,864
we are living in an atomic age.
339
00:24:25,932 --> 00:24:30,494
Emotionally, we are still living
in the Stone Age.
340
00:24:30,541 --> 00:24:36,207
The Aztecs on their feast days would
sacrifice 20,000 men to their gods
341
00:24:36,206 --> 00:24:40,404
in the belief that this would keep
the universe on its proper course.
342
00:24:40,432 --> 00:24:42,798
We feel superior to them.
343
00:24:46,098 --> 00:24:49,727
These are the inhabitants
of what was once
344
00:24:49,779 --> 00:24:53,715
a housing estate
near Rochester in Kent.
345
00:24:53,908 --> 00:24:57,400
Following the explosion
of three single megaton missiles
346
00:24:57,525 --> 00:25:00,050
within this one county boundary,
347
00:25:00,149 --> 00:25:03,414
it's been estimated
that each surviving doctor
348
00:25:03,511 --> 00:25:08,210
would be faced by
at least 350 casualties,
349
00:25:08,344 --> 00:25:12,804
many suffering from severe
second and third degree burns.
350
00:25:13,658 --> 00:25:16,092
I had a little boy with me.
351
00:25:17,403 --> 00:25:19,837
He had his legs burned off.
352
00:25:27,166 --> 00:25:28,633
Some...
353
00:25:30,591 --> 00:25:32,388
Some of the...
354
00:25:33,216 --> 00:25:36,549
Some of these people
are just falling apart.
355
00:25:37,473 --> 00:25:41,569
As far as is known, it is at present
planned by the Civil Defence
356
00:25:41,602 --> 00:25:45,163
that each doctor, working
in a forward medical-aid unit,
357
00:25:45,220 --> 00:25:50,180
place every casualty into one
of three carefully defined categories
358
00:25:50,181 --> 00:25:55,551
to determine whether or not that
casualty is worth hospital treatment.
359
00:25:55,846 --> 00:25:58,144
It's the third category
that are worst.
360
00:25:58,183 --> 00:25:59,980
For these...
361
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:03,022
it's just hopeless.
362
00:26:03,369 --> 00:26:05,837
So we put them into
what we call the holding section.
363
00:26:06,346 --> 00:26:10,442
These are people with
50% or more body burns.
364
00:26:10,859 --> 00:26:15,296
This doctor knows that each patient
he places in the holding section
365
00:26:15,276 --> 00:26:18,803
will be left to die in pain
without drugs.
366
00:26:20,430 --> 00:26:23,695
I know what'll be happening
in a few days.
367
00:26:25,871 --> 00:26:27,862
They'll be...
368
00:26:28,304 --> 00:26:30,568
They'll be asking me to kill them.
369
00:26:31,633 --> 00:26:36,263
What you are seeing now is
another possible part of nuclear war,
370
00:26:36,275 --> 00:26:39,836
an armed police squad
helping the overburdened doctors
371
00:26:39,892 --> 00:26:43,851
to relieve the misery
of those in category three.
372
00:27:00,891 --> 00:27:06,523
If I decide to hit and perhaps kill
another man myself,
373
00:27:06,588 --> 00:27:11,218
then I must be prepared to accept
the moral responsibility.
374
00:27:11,869 --> 00:27:15,168
If I give the Government
the right or the means
375
00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:17,166
on my behalf
376
00:27:17,247 --> 00:27:20,614
to kill people of another country,
377
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,938
then the situation is no different.
378
00:27:23,105 --> 00:27:27,735
I must again myself accept
the moral responsibility.
379
00:27:29,219 --> 00:27:32,120
It's been estimated
that a nuclear attack on Britain,
380
00:27:32,164 --> 00:27:36,157
using approximately 160
single megaton missiles,
381
00:27:36,228 --> 00:27:38,492
would immediately kill
or seriously wound
382
00:27:38,565 --> 00:27:42,899
between one third and one half
of her entire population.
383
00:27:42,887 --> 00:27:45,583
It would destroy from 50% to 80%
384
00:27:45,608 --> 00:27:49,044
of all her main food production
and storage facilities
385
00:27:49,064 --> 00:27:53,865
and from 50% to 80% of
the power plants needed to run them.
386
00:27:53,834 --> 00:27:57,065
Such an attack,
using weapons of one megaton,
387
00:27:57,099 --> 00:27:58,760
could be described as minimal
388
00:27:58,860 --> 00:28:00,851
because it's now more than possible
389
00:28:00,940 --> 00:28:04,000
that missile warheads
or free-falling bombs
390
00:28:04,045 --> 00:28:08,744
of between 5 to 10 times
that power would be used instead.
391
00:28:13,071 --> 00:28:18,668
I think extra numbers would have
made no difference at all to all this.
392
00:28:19,570 --> 00:28:23,563
15 or 20 times the number
of Civil Defence
393
00:28:23,667 --> 00:28:27,228
wouldn't have stopped the initial
attack from killing or maiming
394
00:28:27,188 --> 00:28:29,520
exactly the same number of people.
395
00:28:29,556 --> 00:28:31,888
It was the title they had all wrong.
396
00:28:31,989 --> 00:28:33,217
Call this defence?
397
00:28:35,607 --> 00:28:39,873
These will be the other casualties
of a nuclear war.
398
00:28:40,568 --> 00:28:42,331
Physically unmarked,
399
00:28:42,425 --> 00:28:45,053
there will almost inevitably be
thousands of people
400
00:28:45,113 --> 00:28:49,641
suffering from many complex states
of fear and shock,
401
00:28:49,595 --> 00:28:51,961
due to the things they've seen
402
00:28:52,028 --> 00:28:54,826
and the things that have
happened to them.
403
00:28:55,836 --> 00:28:57,463
Many of these people
404
00:28:57,565 --> 00:29:01,968
will probably lapse into
a state of permanent neurosis
405
00:29:01,983 --> 00:29:04,611
because they will totally outnumber
406
00:29:04,671 --> 00:29:08,437
the psychiatric services
needed to cure them.
407
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,942
This, too, will be the legacy
of thermo-nuclear war.
408
00:29:19,204 --> 00:29:23,334
I've already had a dozen or so
of my men go under
409
00:29:24,165 --> 00:29:26,690
just with the strain...
410
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:29,240
overwork.
411
00:29:30,311 --> 00:29:33,872
People tend to forget that
a policeman,
412
00:29:34,088 --> 00:29:36,352
a Civil Defence worker,
413
00:29:36,777 --> 00:29:39,211
anybody like this...
414
00:29:40,298 --> 00:29:42,493
is just a normal human being,
415
00:29:42,763 --> 00:29:48,201
with normal human reactions
and emotions.
416
00:29:49,997 --> 00:29:54,093
This policeman has spent
the entire rescue period
417
00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:56,522
searching for his missing family.
418
00:30:02,896 --> 00:30:05,126
No one's allowed in here.
419
00:30:05,745 --> 00:30:07,940
Go on. Clear off.
420
00:30:09,362 --> 00:30:11,887
Even in the lightly hi!
County of Kent,
421
00:30:11,924 --> 00:30:17,385
there would be immediately an estimated
50,000 corpses to dispose of.
422
00:30:18,646 --> 00:30:21,945
Will you tell us what's
going on in there?
423
00:30:22,006 --> 00:30:23,803
They're not allowing
any photographers in there.
424
00:30:23,863 --> 00:30:26,525
Yes, I know but just a minute.
425
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,183
Will you tell us what
they're doing in there, please?
426
00:30:30,136 --> 00:30:32,798
They're simply burning the bodies.
427
00:30:33,082 --> 00:30:36,779
The buildings are full of them.
There's just too many to bury.
428
00:30:39,260 --> 00:30:42,229
The buildings are full
429
00:30:42,397 --> 00:30:46,493
so all we can do do is
put them on to raised steel girders
430
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:48,980
and put a fire underneath.
431
00:30:49,087 --> 00:30:51,078
It's just like making a grill.
432
00:30:55,072 --> 00:30:56,699
Two days after the attack,
433
00:30:56,769 --> 00:31:00,728
the military authorities, to stop
the possible spreading of disease,
434
00:31:00,706 --> 00:31:05,700
seal off two square miles of the
damaged area that had been Rochester
435
00:31:05,635 --> 00:31:10,470
and arm the surviving police, determined
to prevent by force if necessary
436
00:31:10,405 --> 00:31:14,535
relatives of the dead removing bodies
before the process of burning.
437
00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:19,454
We were doing the job,
438
00:31:19,623 --> 00:31:21,887
burning the bodies,
439
00:31:22,025 --> 00:31:26,052
when two of the soldiers said they
weren't going to do it any more.
440
00:31:26,697 --> 00:31:29,632
One of their officers came up
and told them to get on with it
441
00:31:29,643 --> 00:31:31,941
and they said no again.
442
00:31:32,044 --> 00:31:34,012
So he shot them both on the spot.
443
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:37,991
Everything that you are now seeing
444
00:31:37,997 --> 00:31:42,229
happened in Germany after
the heavy bombing in the last war.
445
00:31:42,639 --> 00:31:45,699
It would almost certainly
have to happen in Britain
446
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,070
after a nuclear war.
447
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:53,465
Another thing the Germans did
after the bombing on Dresden
448
00:31:53,618 --> 00:31:58,920
was they took the wedding rings
from the bodies.
449
00:32:00,084 --> 00:32:05,488
They were trying to identify them
from the inscription inside the ring.
450
00:32:06,038 --> 00:32:08,802
We also are doing this.
451
00:32:10,135 --> 00:32:13,901
We are keeping the rings
in this bucket here.
452
00:32:17,497 --> 00:32:21,763
This is a possible part
of nuclear war.
453
00:32:25,083 --> 00:32:27,210
For the following 48 hours,
454
00:32:27,260 --> 00:32:31,458
an estimated one third of
the entire land surface of Britain
455
00:32:31,421 --> 00:32:34,117
would be covered
by a total dose of radiation
456
00:32:34,142 --> 00:32:39,045
exceeding 10 times the amount needed
to kill a man in the open.
457
00:32:39,936 --> 00:32:41,733
For many of those within this area
458
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:45,729
who had remained even inside
the shelter of their homes,
459
00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:48,962
there would be death
within five weeks.
460
00:32:49,186 --> 00:32:53,680
I know a thing or two about
leukaemia and suchlike.
461
00:32:55,748 --> 00:32:58,239
I deliberately haven't spoken
to my wife about this
462
00:32:58,277 --> 00:33:00,609
in the last couple of days.
463
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:02,614
You know, I'm...
464
00:33:02,919 --> 00:33:04,750
I'm so scared.
465
00:33:06,184 --> 00:33:09,813
I just want my kids to grow up,
that's all.
466
00:33:11,881 --> 00:33:14,873
I don't know what's going to be
left of anything.
467
00:33:15,562 --> 00:33:17,553
I can't change that now.
468
00:33:20,844 --> 00:33:23,312
I suppose I'm just being selfish.
469
00:33:24,685 --> 00:33:26,983
I just want my kids to be straight
470
00:33:27,118 --> 00:33:30,315
and not to have this poison
working in their bones.
471
00:33:45,139 --> 00:33:49,735
The main effect of exposure
to severe radiation
472
00:33:49,941 --> 00:33:55,937
is to stop the renewal of the
cellular lining of your intestine,
473
00:33:56,598 --> 00:34:00,466
with the result that your body fluids
flow straight out
474
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,661
from the raw inside of your intestine
475
00:34:04,249 --> 00:34:07,480
and you literally dry out.
476
00:34:57,898 --> 00:34:59,422
This is the menu of a meal
477
00:34:59,433 --> 00:35:02,664
prepared by the welfare section
of the Civil Defence Corps
478
00:35:02,699 --> 00:35:07,295
during an exercise supposed to take
place after a thermo-nuclear attack.
479
00:35:08,012 --> 00:35:10,537
"Braised steak, carrots, sprouts,"
480
00:35:10,573 --> 00:35:12,302
roast and mashed potatoes,
481
00:35:12,398 --> 00:35:15,890
"steamed pudding,
apple pie and custard."
482
00:35:21,392 --> 00:35:23,553
After a nuclear attack
on the United States,
483
00:35:23,601 --> 00:35:26,468
would Americans live
as they're accustomed to,
484
00:35:26,482 --> 00:35:30,919
with automobiles, ranch houses,
television, freezers and so on?
485
00:35:30,867 --> 00:35:32,732
No-one can say.
486
00:35:32,787 --> 00:35:38,054
We've got a bathful of water that
hasn't been changed now for 5 days.
487
00:35:38,101 --> 00:35:40,592
It's all the water we've got.
488
00:35:40,694 --> 00:35:43,026
We have to drink from it
489
00:35:43,159 --> 00:35:45,491
and have to cook with it
490
00:35:45,592 --> 00:35:47,082
and wash with it.
491
00:35:48,344 --> 00:35:50,972
At Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
492
00:35:51,385 --> 00:35:53,216
the population 3 months later
493
00:35:53,946 --> 00:35:58,178
was found to be apathetic
and profoundly lethargic,
494
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:00,393
people living often
in their own filth,
495
00:36:01,340 --> 00:36:02,807
in total dejection
496
00:36:03,197 --> 00:36:04,664
and inertia.
497
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,000
This baby boy has been
bitten on the arm by a rat.
498
00:36:19,202 --> 00:36:23,502
There are now no medicines or drugs
available to prevent the disease
499
00:36:23,811 --> 00:36:25,403
which may well follow.
500
00:36:26,628 --> 00:36:30,086
I was carrying
a loaf of bread home today
501
00:36:30,149 --> 00:36:33,676
from my mother
who had given it to me,
502
00:36:34,406 --> 00:36:38,103
when a guy comes up
and offers me a pound for it.
503
00:36:39,976 --> 00:36:42,137
Well, what could I say?
504
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,071
You can't eat a pound note.
505
00:36:49,483 --> 00:36:52,782
In the face of growing hunger riots,
it is very possible
506
00:36:52,812 --> 00:36:57,875
that dwindling supplies of food would
finally be kept as a form of bonus,
507
00:36:57,805 --> 00:37:02,333
for those who perform the precarious
maintenance of law and order.
508
00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:03,942
The result of such partial feeding
509
00:37:04,015 --> 00:37:06,415
would in itself be almost inevitable.
510
00:37:15,378 --> 00:37:20,372
On this day, the first food rioter
is killed by the police in Kent.
511
00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:28,858
Tell them to go back.
512
00:37:28,855 --> 00:37:30,152
One in the air.
513
00:37:34,712 --> 00:37:36,009
Two days later,
514
00:37:36,089 --> 00:37:37,954
as a direct result of this incident,
515
00:37:38,010 --> 00:37:41,946
a police ammunition truck
and its contents are seized
516
00:37:41,914 --> 00:37:44,576
and its volunteer drivers murdered.
517
00:37:47,869 --> 00:37:50,064
String him up!
518
00:38:07,298 --> 00:38:10,529
In Germany during the last war,
it was noticed that,
519
00:38:10,531 --> 00:38:13,989
with people who'd suffered
personal loss or deprivation,
520
00:38:13,988 --> 00:38:17,355
even amongst the so-called
decent middle class,
521
00:38:17,349 --> 00:38:21,547
there was a tendency to develop
indifference towards the law
522
00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:24,536
and to indulge in looting,
black market and petty theft.
523
00:38:26,247 --> 00:38:29,683
This is a Government
Food Control Centre,
524
00:38:29,672 --> 00:38:34,200
seized and pilfered
by armed anti-authority elements.
525
00:38:34,154 --> 00:38:37,988
This is Mrs Joyce Fisher
from Gravesend.
526
00:38:37,931 --> 00:38:39,660
She was a housewife.
527
00:38:39,852 --> 00:38:41,786
Three yards from her,
528
00:38:41,837 --> 00:38:44,237
the bodies of the military guard.
529
00:38:47,534 --> 00:38:52,062
When morale falls,
ideals fall and may go
530
00:38:51,983 --> 00:38:56,147
and behaviour becomes more primitive,
more a thing of instinct.
531
00:38:57,105 --> 00:39:01,769
Three clays later, the first policemen
in Kent are killed.
532
00:39:09,685 --> 00:39:12,051
Within the next 15 years,
533
00:39:12,085 --> 00:39:17,682
possibly another 12 countries will
have acquired thermo-nuclear weapons.
534
00:39:17,559 --> 00:39:18,890
For this reason,
535
00:39:18,967 --> 00:39:23,904
if not through accident
or the impulses of man himself,
536
00:39:24,121 --> 00:39:26,351
it is now more than possible
537
00:39:26,394 --> 00:39:29,227
that what you have seen happen
in this film
538
00:39:29,243 --> 00:39:33,771
will have taken place
before the year 1980.
539
00:39:34,588 --> 00:39:36,317
On the authority
of the regional commissioner,
540
00:39:36,381 --> 00:39:39,714
under article 17,
dealing with civil disturbances
541
00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:43,737
and the prevention of Crown-appointed
officers from carrying out their duty,
542
00:39:43,711 --> 00:39:46,805
John Edward Jarrett
and William Michael Eades
543
00:39:46,816 --> 00:39:49,512
are hereby sentenced to death
by firing squad.
544
00:39:50,433 --> 00:39:52,628
May God have mercy on their souls.
545
00:39:52,962 --> 00:39:54,156
Kneel.
546
00:39:54,562 --> 00:39:57,326
We will say
the Lord's Prayer together.
547
00:40:02,405 --> 00:40:05,169
Our Father which art in heaven,
548
00:40:05,286 --> 00:40:07,618
Hallowed be thy name.
549
00:40:07,686 --> 00:40:09,313
Thy kingdom come.
550
00:40:09,383 --> 00:40:11,408
Thy will be done on earth,
551
00:40:11,495 --> 00:40:13,622
as it is in heaven.
552
00:40:13,704 --> 00:40:17,003
Give us this day our daily bread.
553
00:40:17,033 --> 00:40:19,467
And forgive us our trespasses,
554
00:40:19,498 --> 00:40:22,763
as we forgive them
that trespass against us.
555
00:40:23,755 --> 00:40:25,848
And lead us not into temptation,
556
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:27,891
but deliver us from evil.
557
00:40:28,941 --> 00:40:30,340
Amen.
558
00:40:36,142 --> 00:40:40,306
Father, have mercy upon their souls,
559
00:40:40,336 --> 00:40:42,827
for they know not what they do.
560
00:40:43,345 --> 00:40:44,573
Take aim.
561
00:40:46,674 --> 00:40:47,936
Fire.
562
00:40:53,588 --> 00:40:59,493
For those who haven't had access
to orange juice, fresh vegetables,
563
00:40:59,381 --> 00:41:03,442
vitamin C in general,
and that'll be most people,
564
00:41:03,415 --> 00:41:08,910
haemorrhages around the gums will
set in at about the 4 month stage
565
00:41:08,825 --> 00:41:12,192
and then you're into
the initial stages of scurvy,
566
00:41:12,154 --> 00:41:14,281
with swelling of the ankles
567
00:41:14,330 --> 00:41:17,163
and bleeding into
the joints of your body.
568
00:41:26,173 --> 00:41:28,539
December the 25th.
569
00:41:28,575 --> 00:41:31,976
A refugee compound in Dover, Kent,
570
00:41:31,968 --> 00:41:34,937
four months after the attack.
571
00:41:45,987 --> 00:41:49,582
Due to radiation,
this little boy has only half
572
00:41:49,572 --> 00:41:52,632
the requisite number
of red blood corpuscles.
573
00:41:52,709 --> 00:41:55,234
He will be bedridden for seven years.
574
00:41:55,238 --> 00:41:56,762
Then he will die.
575
00:41:57,031 --> 00:41:59,864
This happened at Hiroshima.
576
00:42:00,392 --> 00:42:02,417
This girl is pregnant.
577
00:42:02,568 --> 00:42:05,662
Because of her constant exposure
to radiation,
578
00:42:05,674 --> 00:42:10,168
she has no idea whether or not
her baby will be born alive.
579
00:42:20,750 --> 00:42:24,982
The thing that terrifies me most
is the little ones.
580
00:42:26,511 --> 00:42:31,210
If they've suffered badly
from the effects of...
581
00:42:31,154 --> 00:42:36,182
of the sight of this horror
and destruction,
582
00:42:37,107 --> 00:42:40,702
it is probable that as a consequence
583
00:42:40,692 --> 00:42:47,495
some of them may suffer
terrible character disorders.
584
00:42:50,775 --> 00:42:52,936
One just doesn't know.
585
00:42:53,976 --> 00:42:59,312
I saw one of the little boys
in the compound here yesterday.
586
00:43:00,282 --> 00:43:03,183
He was bouncing around,
587
00:43:03,195 --> 00:43:06,187
playing hopscotch I think,
588
00:43:06,204 --> 00:43:08,968
and suddenly he sat down
589
00:43:09,917 --> 00:43:12,579
as though he were very tired
590
00:43:13,950 --> 00:43:17,386
and his face went listless
591
00:43:18,623 --> 00:43:21,592
like that of an old man.
592
00:43:22,881 --> 00:43:26,647
These children
are orphans of the attack.
593
00:43:26,594 --> 00:43:31,258
They were each asked what they
now wanted to grow up to be.
594
00:43:31,203 --> 00:43:33,569
I don't want to be nothing.
595
00:43:33,604 --> 00:43:35,469
Neither do I.
596
00:43:35,524 --> 00:43:37,651
I don't want to be nothing.
597
00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:40,605
Neither do I want to be nothing.
598
00:43:47,848 --> 00:43:52,581
On almost the entire subject
of thermo-nuclear weapons,
599
00:43:52,522 --> 00:43:54,956
on the problems of their possession,
600
00:43:54,986 --> 00:43:57,682
on the effects of their use,
601
00:43:57,707 --> 00:44:02,406
there is now practically
a total silence in the press,
602
00:44:02,348 --> 00:44:06,751
in official publications
and on television.
603
00:44:08,462 --> 00:44:14,230
There is hope in any unresolved
and unpredictable situation.
604
00:44:15,696 --> 00:44:20,895
But is there a real hope
to be found in this silence?
605
00:44:23,123 --> 00:44:26,524
The world's stockpile
of thermo-nuclear weapons
606
00:44:26,484 --> 00:44:30,784
has doubled
within the last 5 years
607
00:44:30,741 --> 00:44:35,940
and now is the equivalent of almost
20 tons of high explosive
608
00:44:35,862 --> 00:44:40,959
to every man, woman and child
on the planet.
609
00:44:42,713 --> 00:44:48,845
This stockpile
is still steadily growing.
