Something worth remembering

September 27th, 2006 Chris Leave a comment Go to comments

I only learned of this incident maybe three months ago, but it really struck me: Ignoring the orders of the Soviet, Stanislav Petrov elected not to push the button when faced with what appeared to be the start of a nuclear war.

He did this twenty-three years ago, today.
