Nuclear close calls

[mtbc]

Over the years I have read and watched plenty about the Cold War and a recurring theme from both the American and Soviet sides is close calls that nearly caused nuclear detonations or launches against the other. I have now learned enough of so many very close calls to start wondering if the stories are exaggerated or if the world has simply been extremely lucky. It is nearly enough to make one a theist.

We've been lucky. The world is always full of crazy politicians and military sorts.
