Episode 207
In the early hours of September 26, 1983, one man stood between the world and nuclear war. A quiet, unassuming lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Air Defence Forces, Stanislav Petrov was stationed in a bunker outside Moscow, monitoring the skies for signs of a U.S. missile attack. When the alarm sounded, and all systems insisted that destruction was imminent, Petrov hesitated. He questioned what the machines were telling him—and in doing so, may have saved the lives of hundreds of millions.
This is the story of a man whose calm judgment in a moment of unthinkable pressure changed the course of history.
