  • People make mistakes, but accidentally launching a nuclear strike that would have destroyed the Earth would have been the biggest and last mistake anyone would have ever made. The US was in the midst of the Cold War with Russia, and a computer system for detecting Russian missiles was relied on to protect America, but one problem, it wasn't human proof. In today's insane video we're looking at the time when a critical human error almost obliterated the entire world.

    On the other side of the cold war, something kinda similar happened.
    A soviet missile detection system detected 6 missiles coming from the US. Protocol was to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike but the officer who was supposed to pick up the phone to call it in, Stanislav Petrov, correctly judged that the US would’ve sent all their missiles and that it was a false alarm. This man singlehandedly saved the world as we know it, went against the orders of superior officers to do so, and didnt even tell anyone until years later. He died in 2017, may he rest in peace

    I was a life support tech at Offutt AFB when this happened and this video barely touches the true horror we were experiencing as we got our planes off the ground. We knew we were all going to die in the next few minutes and did what needed to be done to get all our planes off the ground as quickly as possible. As soon as we were done, we stood there looking at the sky, wondering if we would see the the trails of the missiles before they detonated. We also ignored orders to flee to the countryside to get out of range of a blast. We thought of ourselves as the lucky ones because we would die instantly as opposed to the millions who would suffer for days or even weeks with a slow painful death in the aftermath of the attack. I often still recall the horror of that day as it profoundly altered my view of the world and civilization. (not in a good way). We lived the impending end of the world, not as an abstract but as it was unfolding before our eyes.

    He was, no doubt, consumed with anxiety. Still though, he loved his wife so much that he let her be. He didn’t even give her a last kiss or hug, for fear of disturbing her peaceful slumber.

      do the roar That is because we usually do not like to admit that 99.999% of all “computer bugs” are, in reality, solely human errors introduced into the computer code or failures by humans to follow proper protocol. Any true “computer bug” is actually few and far between and almost always involves a hardware failure of some kind (these do exist - for example, the first actual computer bug was in 1946 and was caused by a moth that flew into a computer, causing the computer to malfunction).
      We just do not like to admit that programmers are human beings and when they make errors, these errors are magnified because they are 100% certain to occur every time the unforeseen (by the human) circumstances are replicated. We also do not like to admit that to err is human, to really mess things up requires a computer because computers are wonderful tools that allow us to do whatever we program them to do much faster than any human possibly could, even if what we program it to do is not what we want them to do.. In any case, though, the problem almost invariably lies between the chair and the keyboard rather than being the fault of the computer itself, which is why I hate it when people blame “computer bugs” rather than assigning the blame to the person who programmed the computer (or was using the computer) in the first place.

      drmadjdsadjadi dude... have you ever met somebody who codes before. A computer bug is when the programming introduces an error into the program. if there’s a bug in your code you go to the debug to check what’s going wrong, then you fix the error. A moth flying into a computer and causing a malfunction is NOT a computer bug (well, it is a computer 💻 bug 🐜 but not the other way) it is an accident that causes a malfunction.

    A similair thing happened in Russia as well. If I remember it correctly, there was this guy who was in a nuke launching center, and the systems detected 4 US nuclear missles inbound. He contacted High command, who ordered him to prepare to retaliate. He however stated that it didn't make sense that there were only 4 missles, as a true nuclear strike would involve thousands of simultaneous missles being launched.
