The entire history goes deeper than that. The submarine actually hid at a large depth at the approach of the enemy ship and lost all connection with the surface. However, they spent a few days there and US ships wanted to tell them to resurface (of pure kindness), so they signalled that with the charges
Damn you still believe that u can even survive- Wait no ur grandma can survive WW3? Are u hearing what he says Russia and usa have nuclear bombs that can destroy the whole world
An even more scarier aspect was Vasili Arkhipov wasn’t a standard crew member on that or any submarine. It would normally only need the clearance of the captain and political officer to launch but since Arkhipov was on board, the launch needed his clearance as well, which he didn’t give. It was by pure chance he was on that particular submarine at that particular moment in history. I feel there’s a parallel universe where this chance occurrence didn’t happen and the Earth was turned into a nuclear hellscape in 1962.
There's a legitimately scary amount of people who've literally saved humanity. I'm not talking about medical and technological advances that saved lives, I mean we were one button press away from not existing. The pure amount of false alarms and close calls we've had is terrifying.
@@paldennorbu8808 based on other replys this isnt true the captain and a political guy had to vote but this guy was an admiral and overruled the discicion
For anyone wanting a more full story: This was during the cuban missile crisis, and the USA had set up a blockade around cuba to stop soviet shipments of nuclear weapons/ building materials for silos. The sub was on its way to cuba and hadnt heard about the blockade, the americans released a depth charge to not damage the sub, but make it surface to basically send them back, and the rest is explained in the video. (I have literally just been revising this for my history GCSEs. I've been learning as much about this guy and "the dumb one" (vietnam War guy, I'd recommend making a video on him if you haven't) as possible.
one thing you didn't mention is normally it only takes 2 people to launch the torpedoes, but the commander just happened to be on that submarine, if he was on any other submarine ww3 would've happened
