Why has no one made a movie of this yet????

Remember the other Russian that saved the world by not reporting the error in the early defense missile radar. Saying it was failtly
TheWombatStrikesAgain
That was Stanislav Petrov. He used the logic that an american first strike would probably consist of more than five or ten missiles total.

Crimson Tide, a film was based on this hero portrayed by Denzel Washington as EX-O and disagreed with his captain,Gene Hackman

Love that film. I also love how they completely twisted it to make the US look like the hero (as expected - Hollywood etc...).
ZipDogMuldoon
He and Stanislav Petrov should be immortalised as hereos. IMO they are more influential to human history than kings, emperors or pharaohs

Funny how some of history’s greatest heroes are known for what they DIDN’T do.
DerRattenfngerVonHameln
and even more funny how some are not :c

On the flip side, if they attacked, they would still be the most influencial people in human history.

But nobody would *know*. Because you know, there'd be no people to know.
You underestimate your specie.

He never lost control. You're face to face with the man who saved the world.

He is extremely hot

I'm starting to wonder if we might be better off if he hadn't.

I wish I could believe any stories that came out of the Soviet Union. But, if true, big props to him.

He was also second in command of K-19 during that reactor incident. He ended up developing cancer because of radiation exposure.

Yeah, similar incidents happened here, & I worked in the exact shop which generated the alert, I knew the people who fucked up. Scary times.
Defense Support Program, boost phase launch detection using IR camera satellites. Someone mounted a "war training tape" instead of an /
ephemeris update tape, the exercise ran _automatically_ (oops) and it looked like WW-3. We were at Defcon-1 for nearly 10 min. So close. :(
So basically, the Tactical Operations Room (where the scopes and mission were) called over to the Data Reduction Center (computer room) and/
"Data Reduction Center (computer room)". I like the naming convention.
asked for, say, "tape number 420169" but the operator fetched 420196 from the tape library instead.
Then there was the time that sergeant Joe "Doctor" Dash came to work tripping balls, pulled out all the patch cables through which the
satellite data was fed and put them away "because he didn't like snakes in his work area". Site goes boom, General from NORAD is suddenly /
screaming at us over fucking autovon (unsecured!!) because they're not receiving shit from us. People get upset when they think "WW-III".

Well thank goodness for that then!
