@@scottslotterbeck3796 Exactly. His training told him that if America were to launch, they would launch *everything* in one go, not five missiles. Which makes absolute sense - if you're going to initiate nuclear war, you're going to try to take out everything in one go, immediately, before your enemy has a chance to launch against you. Petrov still should be recognized and revered, though, for being a clear-headed, intelligent and thinking man at a moment that others might have panicked.

vasili Arkhipov was one of three senior officers in a nuclear submarine during the Cuban missile crisis. Two of the three senior officers gave the command to launch a nuclear torpedo off the coast of Cuba but the authorization had to be from all three senior officers in the submarine.

You want something even more depressing? The current number of people around the world that are tasked with watching space for any incoming objects - i.e. asteroids, comets, etc. - namely ones that may impact the planet...is fewer than the number of staff needed to operate a small McDonald's, and not even during rush periods. With that little detail, is it any wonder that we have these cosmic close calls where we get a week's warning at most - if these ever get noticed in the first place? One astronomer (I cannot remember his name - I only remember that a man said this) described every single meteor you ever see with your naked eye is the equivalent of a fired bullet scratching your cheek - a hair's difference, and you might have ended up dead instead - and that a meteor shower is you stepping out into the middle of an active shooting range with the shooters present still shooting while you are out there.

I've watched in other YT channel that in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis one bear put the U.S to almost launch the missiles by climbing a fence in one air force base. I don't remember well but everyone at the time thought that was a spy or some threat like that, and until they checked all the military was in high alert, ready for nuclear retaliation. I think that the relief they felt when they knew that was just a bear was marvelous
