Скачать или смотреть The Nuclear Alarm That Almost Ended the World (1983)

In 1983, the world came terrifyingly close to nuclear war.

A Soviet early-warning system detected what appeared to be U.S. nuclear missiles heading toward the Soviet Union. According to protocol, this information should have triggered an immediate nuclear retaliation.

But one man, Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, noticed something didn’t make sense.

Only five missiles were detected. Radar systems showed nothing. Trusting his judgment over a computer warning, Petrov reported the alert as a false alarm.

He was right.

The system had mistaken sunlight reflecting off clouds for incoming missiles.
His decision may have prevented a nuclear war and saved millions of lives.

This is the true story of the 1983 nuclear false alarm — and the man who chose to think instead of obey.
