FALLOUT SHELTER SIGN CAMEOS

 A Fallout Shelter Sign, Susan Oliver and a pensive David Jannsen, 1963

Robert W. Blakeley, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employee responsible for the National Fallout Shelter Sign, had no idea in 1961 that he was giving birth to a movie star. But because the distinctive yellow and black emblem became a ubiquitous sight throughout the country in the 1960s, it is only natural that it would be captured on film either by accident or on purpose. The following are some of the more notable appearances in movies and television programs over the last half-century.

Excerpt from October 12, 1961 government memo RE: the sign on file with the Judge Advocate General's Office

* Image descriptions marked with an asterisk indicate anachronistic or otherwise inaccurate depictions of the Fallout Shelter Sign. 

Specifically, 

1. Revolutionary Road takes place in 1959, two years before the first Fallout Shelter Signs were posted.
2. Infamous takes place in 1959, two years before the first Fallout Shelter Signs were posted.
3. Mad Men: This still comes from the first season which is set in 1960 - one year before the Fallout Shelter Sign.
4. Thirteen Days: The colors of the Fallout Shelter Sign are incorrect.

I always chuckle about the fallout shelter sign in 'Thirteen Days,' since either the set design group or the property department felt it better investment to make a sign instead of just buying an original. Production of the inaccurate one most likely cost more than obtaining an original, haha.

Sudah pernahkah dengar postcrossing? Jika belum, coba terka kurang lebih postcrossing apa itu? Jika masih sulit menerka , keywordnya berada pada kata “Post”! https://pesona-wisata.com/ Yak! Ini ialah suatu hal yang terkait dengan layanan pengangkutan “Kantor Pos”!

Semenjak tahun 2017 aku memiliki sebuah hoby baru, yakni postcrossing. Postcrossing sebuah aktivitas sama-sama mengirim kartu pos sama orang lain di semua penjuru dunia.

Antiknya, kita tidak mengenali siapakah yang akan kita kirimi kartu pos dan begitupun sama mereka. Kebalikannya, kita juga tidak mengenali siapakah yang mengirim kita kartu pos.

I figure this article can be enhanced a tad. There are a couple of things that are dangerous here, and if you somehow managed to change these things, this article could wind up a standout amongst your best ones. I have a few thoughts with respect to how you can change these things. ๋ฉ”์ด์ €๋†€์ดํ„ฐ
