False. Because it is a fact in 1950s.
Why were children taught to hide under desks in case of a nuclear attack ?
- Children were placed under desks because no one knew where the explosion would occur. Obviously, if the bomb was dropped directly on the school it would not matter, however, if the bomb was dropped several miles away, being under a stable desk could make a significant difference in protecting the students from falling materials and blast effect, depending on the distance.
- When an explosion occurs, the upper floors of most buildings near the explosion will be pushed in. This means that the basement is most likely the safest place to be. If you have a basement and the time, lie flat along the outer wall or near the base of a heavy supporting column. You'd be even safer under a heavy table or cellar workbench. Avoid the center of the floor, where failing beams and other objects are most likely to hit you.
