ORIGINAL: Terminus Ah yes, the gallant Stanislav Petrov. Lots of people owe that man their lives. 1983 was the most dangerous year of the Cold War. Forget the Berlin blockade or the Cuban Missile Crisis, this was it. This was not the first, nor was it the only time a near-thing occurred due to equipment malfunction. Sanity prevailed in all instances (scary in one way, while oddly reassuring in another). Stanislav Petrov is one of many unsung cold war heroes that people owe their lives to.
