Atomic Submarine


I once thought this the most frightening film ever made.

Mind you, I was five at the time.

In my attic there are dozens of issues of a 1950's domestic magazine called "Savremena Tehnika"
(Modern Technology).

I'm not sure which category of magazines does it fit in, since it contained very up to date reports about technological breakthroughs from the super-forces, articles about how intelligent lifeforms in space might look like, and pictures of funny home made automobiles.
Anyway, there is one issue from 1954 that has on its front cover a picture of a streamlined nuclear submarine with fins bigger that a '59 Eldorado. It is ramming into an ice column beneath the polar ice cap.
Such breathtaking pictures like that one inspired me to learn to read a bit early. My dad counted on it so he generously gave me every "Savremena Tehnika" we had. It's just that I don't know if the ramming was intentional or just a result of terrible mishandling.

In place of the movie, I see a white rectangle. It's not good. No, sir. It's not good...
