Best Answer

Not knowing if your children would get to grow up. Looking for that (or those) mushroom cloud(s) off in the distance was part of the routine of day to day living.

Once you saw those "mush-room" clouds, you knew that someone finally pushed those buttons.

If you see the original film "Planet of the Apes", you'll notice actor Charlton Heston screaming on the beach, "you finally did it, finally destroyed yourself" as he lay near the foot of the statue of Liberty. He was saying, "someone finally pushed one of those nuclear buttons."
