On September 26, 1983, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Soviet army saved the world.
When the Oko nuclear-warning system erroneously reported an incoming barrage of American missiles, Stanislov Petrov chose not to alert his superiors, and averted the apocalypse. But what if he had made a different decision? Would civilization still exist? What would the world look like today?
Join the boys as they examine the uniquely human obsession with revising history, and take a journey down the "what if" rabbit hole.
