Humanity's luckiest day.
 
On Sept.26 1983 a tragedy was avoided due to one Russian officer remembering U.S. launch protocol his name was Stanislav Petrov. who past away this past May.
Sept.9 1939-May 19 2017

It's ironic that the movie Threads came out in 1984 and still yet no one except those involved knew how close humanity had come to facing a stark reality.
For those who haven't seen Threads it's on vimeo.
