Pretty crazy shit. I've been looking at crazy apocalyptic shit like this for the past 2 hours, such as close calls during the cold war etc, but this is probably the craziest stuff I've come across.

Check this out too though, if it's true, which I think it is, then that's pretty insane how close we were to nuclear war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov

I thought the link on that wikipedia website regarding 20 close call nuclear attacks was pretty interesting.

Yeah I was reading that too. What makes it really crazy is the calculation that they did at the end. Imagine if people had known there was approximately a 50 percent chance we'd be nuked...
