From The Officer’s Club:

"On September 26th, 1983, Soviet Army Lt. Col Petrov settled into his command chair at the top secret Serpukhov-15 bunker outside of Moscow."

"Then the computer signalled another inbound missile, and another, and another, adding up to a total of 5 inbound ICBMs, all MIRV capable…"

Stanislav Petrov kept his cool and went against orders that night, preventing World War 3. Stanislav, this Bud’s for you.
