Back in the 60s we used to see the contrails of multi-engine aircraft flying due north over Canada. The obvious question was, "What's up there that anybody would conceivably want to go to?" The answer was Russia and the aircraft were B-52s (potentially) carrying nuclear weapons. As it turns out, we were probably in more danger from American
broken arrows than we were from Russia.
And we used to have an air-raid siren in the playground of our school.
