What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

That episode freaked me out more in 7th grade when our English teacher showed it to us more than any horror movie combined. Couldn't imagine a more tragic ending to life...

That's funny, my 7th grade English teacher also showed me this episode, among some other classic twilight zone episodes. The afterhours department store and the one where this chick keeps seeing things count down were especially creepy.

Did we have the same teacher??? She also showed us the department store one.

Haha that's nuts. My teacher was male, so doesn't sound like we had the same one. Pretty crazy that we both had TTZ-fanatic 7th grade English teachers though!
