septa protocol for thermonuclear attack
Long ago in a world far, far away the city of Philadelphia constructed bomb shelters where its citizens could supposedly flee in case of nuclear war. Embedded here is a video tour of one of those shelters, conveniently located 1 block north of Broad & Market (otherwise known as ground zero.).
Now before you laugh at the absurd location, consider that word of imminent nuclear attack and detonation of the first bombs would probably have been separated by about 20 minutes. 20 minutes is more than enough time for our brave councilpeople to amble north to Arch street and secure themselves underground with plenty of kaopectate, salt, asprin, candy and comic books. Enjoy!

I’m so grateful that such shelters exist — a burn from an atomic bomb can be worse than a sunburn!!!
