If your city was being bombed (that's when airplanes ((airplanes are vehicles that can fly in the sky)) fly over your city and drop bombs ((bombs are usually metal encasing a series of explosives that when set off create a large and destructive explosion)).) you could go and hide (hiding is when you try to not be seen by whatever you are hiding from) in the bomb shelter and not die.

The Cold War and nuclear arms races in the late forties through the eighties was the impetus of Americans building bomb shelters. They were convinced Russia would bomb America and they could have if Kennedy had not stopped Fidel Castro and the Russians from sending over their nuclear missiles located ninety miles from the US. Most of the bomb shelters were a joke. They never could have protected the people from the radiation in the air or from the bomb explosion.
