The Man Who Literally Saved The World

Found this article on Slashdot, it kinda opened my eyes a little! To think I wouldn't be here today in the bustling metropolis of London if this man didn't use his own judgement is, quite frankly, terrifying!

Man. that was something...

I can't imagine how people would have reacted when they saw the notification that missiles were launched.

Actually fewer countries had nukes then. Some world leaders are hell-bent... does not sound too promising :yell:

Holy shit, I can't imagine what happened if that went the other way..

That is scary, a big hats off to the guy who stopped the messing up.

I'll bet this sort of thing has happened more than we know..

Hey, anyone ever seen the old classics: Dr. Strangelove or Fail Safe? Good movies!

I was slightly disappointed when I first saw Dr.Strangelove, I was expecting a lot more than I actually got

Having said that, it's still a good film, I just expected it to be the best film I would ever see

Wow, I wouldn't have been born. :o

I love that film.. it's so campy, yet it touches on a serious concern of it's day.

Peter Sellers and Slim Pickens are the two standouts in that film.
