How one man saved the Entire World

How one man saved the Entire World | In a tense moment during the Cold War, Soviet Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov was on duty at a nuclear warning center in 1983 when the system wrongly reported five incoming US missiles. Disobeying protocol and relying on his gut feeling that a first strike would be massive, he calmly declared the warning a false alarm. His decision to not report the incoming attack up the chain of command is widely credited with preventing a retaliatory strike that would have likely started World War III and nuclear devastation.
