HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA PLANNING TO REOPEN FALLOUT SHELTERS

FALLOUT SHELTERS

Because of the increasing threat of an al-Qiada attacks, Huntsville, AL in working on reopening the fallout shelters that were built or designated during the cold war. These shelters were closed after the fall of the Soviet Union. Even the air raid sirens have been changed to tornado sirens.

The one worry I have is, those shelters were laughingly inadequate during the cold war. Most wouldn't have protected anyone from a nuclear attack. Huntsville wants to reopen these shelters in fear that al-Qiada might use a dirty bomb to attack the US.
