Americans Warned Of Imminent Deadly Meteor Strikes
Famous strategy recommended to survive
WND
A doctors’ organization is warning that, just as when the American populace first prepared for the possibility of a nuclear blast, a person’s best option for surviving a meteor strike is the same “duck and cover” created during the 1940s and ’50s when nuclear weaponry was still in its infancy.
The warning comes from Physicians for Civil Defense, which issued a statement recently during a meeting of the Emergency Management Agency of Utah.
“All Americans, starting with first responders and emergency managers, need to know this basic life-saving principle: ‘Drop and cover if you see a sudden very bright light,’” said the statement from the organization’s spokeswoman, Jane Orient, M.D.
“Such a light will be followed by a deadly shock wave within seconds. Those who drop and cover will probably survive. Those who do not are likely to be killed or suffer severe injury.”
The organization’s goal is to save lives of first responders in the event of disasters, “especially terrorist attacks using dirty bombs or nuclear weapons.”
Members note that “in today’s unprepared America, the only feasible plan that could save millions of lives on very short notice is the Nuclear War Survival Skills plan, using simple, government-developed and tested technology.”
Those three-plan components include “Drop and Cover,” “Shelter in Place,” and “Radiologic Monitoring.”
The first features the 1951 video on how to drop and cover, protecting one’s head, neck and face, from the impact of an energy blast from a bomb, or a meteor strike.
Featured is a question-and-answer session between Orient and civil defense expert Steve Jones, who said, “Like everyone else, I was taught to ridicule ‘duck and cover.’”

The “article” has absolutely NOTHING to do with the headline??!?!?!
FAIL
When you see the bright light … Jump out of the way … Your in the middle of the street vat night and a car is coming
predictions for the sushi olympics!
watch out for a major bio terror incident as plan-b.
they most likely will spread a bad virus like the swine flue(which is already affecting the speed skating trials in utah,and being covered up. H1N1 could also be introduced on the ice or at the opening ceremonies. what better way to affect the game. by hitting the participants a couple days later and cancelling events!
explosives are old hat and watched for now. so this might be the most likely scenario.
THE MOST LIKELY GENDER WOULD BE FEMALE BLACK WIDOW CARRIERS. THE MOST LIKELY RACE OR ETHNICS…CHECHEN-UKRANIAN,AND SYRIAN,WITH IRANIAN LOGISTICS SUPPORT.
THE WAY THEY WOULD GET THE VIRUSES INTO THE SOCHI AREA WOULD BE OBVIOUS…THE BLACK SEA SHIPPING LANES VIA AN OFFSHORE TRANSFER TO FISHING OR CONTAINER VESSE. A WEEK BEFORE EVENTS START.

THE ARCTIC VESSELS SUPPOSEDLY FROZEN FOR A COUPLE WEEKS COULD HAVE BEEN THE INITIATING POINT FOR FIRST TRANSFER.

remember one of nostradamus predictions for a major disaster event would stem from activities on the dnieper river?

Northern Shipping Route Functional but Problematic | Business

The new Arctic shipping route running along Russia’s northern shore that opened up due to climate change will not be crowded any time soon.
Well, considering the fact that “duck and cover” was admitted to not being helpful at all, and was only propaganda to make people feel like they had something they could do to survive a nuclear attack, I must say this is not very helpful.
Not to mention Physicians for Civil Defense is just some users Blog, “Physicians for Civil Defense | Just another WordPress site” as it’s title says, and nothing anyone should care about, I do not see how this is news at all.
Seems more like advertising for someones blog that they registered a domain for in the hopes of gaining viewers by trying to sound like they might be something official.
But they’re not.
If it is a nuclear attack, duck and cover, even if the bar!http://replicahandbagsus2013.com
I keep seeing bright lights.. I am flat on the ground nose in the dirt typing blind on my smartphone.. Every time I think its safe I see more lights..
And the noise.. its freaking me out.. deafening at times and I can feel the rumble..
Turns out I’ve fallen from my bicycle next to the interstate
Great I cant wait!! bring it on lets see some documentary’s about how the yanks met there Karma..
Big Fail!
The “Homefront”? This article is about as subtle as a freight train about to run you over!
The shock wave in Russia from the February 2013 meteor injured hundreds. I don’t know about duck and cover out in the open, but if there is time after the burst of light, I’d sure get the heck away from glass windows and flimsy structures.
That was a meteor? Watch the video carefully. A meteor doesn’t leave two wing tip vortices.

Hypersonic weapon entering atmosphere at 17,000 plus mph would look very much like a meteor entering the atmosphere.
