“Did you ever hear the story of how programmed Russian computers, based on an incorrect reading of satellite photos of clouds over some part of the United States, were eight minutes away from launching a full scale nuclear attack on the United States in the 80s? And were stopped at the last minute by a low-level operative?”

Not only heard it, but watched a special on it.

If you haven’t already read about Dead Hand, you’ll enjoy it. Fascinating.
