Thank you Russian dude for saving us
4:39 would be scary as fuck
Daniel Catapang Things like that happens every decade or so
God damn it, seriously I owe my life to him.. Er my dad and mom does... Lol
Doesn't matter much now though. As Russia as at a tipping point, Putin is pissed as hell and Hillary and Biden are threatening _actual_ military action against Russia if there is a cyberattack against the US that they believe came from Russia. Soo. Yeah.
MikePlaysIt I'm hoping if something like that happens they won't use nukes
Every time I hear that glitch story, I feel like Petrov is the greatest hero mankind has ever had.
Happy Petrov day.
Well he did save most of us from nuclear destruction
dani sechzehn I think of war games
MarzK423 Slav actually comes from a Slavic word, "slovo" meaning "word". They called each other Slavs, because they could understand each other and had the same language (at least in the start). Similar in many Slavic languages the word for German; Niemcy is from the word "nyem" meaning "deaf". This is because they couldn't understand the Germans.
To further prove my point, the Latin word for slave is completely different. The Latin word for slave is servus also meaning servant..
Game2 Game2 I am a German, who took six years of Latin in school, and had been living in St Petersburg for three years, and your explanation was absolutely perfect.
I think instead of spending more money on atomic weapons, we should spend it on making sure our satellites don’t mistake the sun for missiles.
We already did

@@NoSaysJo From the population's point of view, as bad as ever. However, there seems to be some actions being taken by the new government, Bolsonaro's one, but the damn commies from the workers party are blocking them as usual...
Bolsonaro has appointed his son as ambassador in the US and is blocking investigations against his other son ... he took 1 billion dollars from education to pay for votes in the congress... the dollar is in a record high and the unemployment is skyrocketing, are you insane?
Stanislav Petrov is the greatest unspoken hero and the greatest hero in general, he saved the world *TWICE* but yet he isn't respected as much as he should, absolutely ridiculous
Western history books would never portray a soviet officer as a hero even if they are.
It’s not even a matter of Western books refusing to portray a soviet hero. Even in his own country Petrov was ostracized and faded into obscurity before death.
you confuse stanislav petrov with vasili arkhipov. He was the one during the cuban missile crisis, petrov was the one in 1983
George W Bush Did Pizzagate Yep you’re right. Which makes it marginally worse when you consider his was the only vote required to stop the missiles from firing. That sub had already decided nuclear war was at hand and decided to fire its payload without first consulting Moscow. (Which I’m sure you know this is just for other people who might read it.)
america was a asshole so they didn't include him.
The earth WOULD have become a living HELL if Petrov didn’t use his instincts.
It wouldn't, his role has been overly exaggerated in the West, pretending you admire Petrov while in actuality spitting on Russia. There was a whole chain of command, someone would notice "Americans wouldn't launch only four nukes on us, and this system is new and still in the beta phase"
@Robert Ortiz-Wilson Petrov didn't obey the chain of command at that time, so he was fired from the military. Though any suspicious launch against USSR would be taken seriously as it was during Reagan's Anti Communist policy, and that 'empire of evil' which where world tension skyrocket.
and it’s not a living hell now?? 😂
@@sockaccount8116 I agree. Even If Petrov had been a complete morron yelling "the capitalists are nuking us!!", the strategic command would have asked for a confirmation beyond reasonable doubt. Especially With just 4 warheads without a clear target.
@Robert Ortiz-Wilson Well, we do know that Petrov simply reported on what he saw on his screen : 4 icbm incomming ! then he added what everybody else whould have thought : It has to be a mistake.
And we know that it was enough for the strategic command to standby, and eventually dismiss the whole thing. Ultimately it was up to them and USSR officials usually cared little for what a low ranking officer had to say ! Petrov's instinct would be secundary.
And I still don't answer your question 😅 but that makes sense...
Australia: Where did everyone Go?
Switzerland: Dunno.
Seriously though, I think Switzerland is not gonna make it. The Soviets will probably drop bombs in Northern Italy, Southern Germany and Eastern France since these places are highly industrialised. Since they all border Switzerland, the effect of these explosions will surely cover this tiny country. So basically Switzerland's death will be a colateral damage.
@@user-kk4sj4ih3e they have bunker to have all of Swiss population + Liechtenstein at once
Agree. If there's any place in Europe with any chance of surviving, it's somewhere in Spain

Why isn't Stanislav Petrov in our history books? He saved everyones life
even James Blunt (the guy who sings - youre beautiful) saved the world as he disobeyed his commanders order to storm a airbase held by The soviets ..blunt was a CO in the British army who said " i wont be responsible for world war 3"
Rakitha Peiriz Wut

Verreck Im Gulag i know.
did you even watchthe video?
4:38 - 5:00 gave me pure chills, especially when it said "Millions are instantly Vaporized on the east coast"
Good
I was physically shaking, my god
*lives in west coast just west of the Great Plains* nah fr tho I’m not gonna sleep tonight after hearing that lol
The 600 mph winds gave me more lol
They got the easy painless way out
I love how instead of imagining Petrov made the wrong choice, he choosed to remove him entirely from the scenario, a small detail but such a honor.
imagine petrov in his car on the way to work... and he gets a flat tire and is late.
Flat tire= end of HUMANITY
minutemen soldier wow we literally came so close to death
I don't think they would actually let people in charge of nuclear bombs off their shifts on the premise that someone is late.
Dan - I think his point was somebody would replace Petrov at his post, and they would have probably played it by the book and informed the Kremlin instead of assuming it was a glitch (with the implication that the Politburo might have decided to retaliate).
Shit
RIP Stanislav Petrov, you were one of mankind's greatest heros.
(1939- 2017)
Galactic Gameing wait what
The ultimate hero...
One of? Who are the others?

4:34 just imagine hearing this all around you. Confused, powerless, with an inevitable death fast approaching. Genuinely terrifying.
Hug your spouse, partner or pet because "duck and cover" ain't gonna save ya.
Death comes for all Sammy G 💀
@@twistedyogert false, if you aren't in ground zero of the nuclear explosion taking cover behind something sturdy will save you from being severely burnt. How ever if you can't escape the radiation you're screwed.
@@COUNTERCOM Thanks for the heads up, hope I never have to worry about using it. I was born in 1996 and while the fear of nuclear weapons seems to have wained, those horrible machines are still out there waiting for some idiot to use them for what they were designed for. Hopefully this demon will only haunt our worst nightmares and not rear it's ugly head in the real world.
@@twistedyogert I agree fuck nukes, unfortunately the nations understanably can't trust each other to De-arm their nuclear weapons.
I don't mind being called a strategically unimportant nation when the important ones are dead
the only reason my one is (scotland) is because england made it so by storing americas nuclear subs here
This video was savage. "If you lived in Siberia, congratulations, you're alive, but you're also in Siberia, so, sorry."
"Europe is just.. dead."
The narrator obviously never visited and knows no Siberian women. #supermodels
He also implied that we do not have books, libraries or universities down here in New Zealand. Without the northern hemisphere the world would return to the stone age is what he basically said. I can kind of understand him thinking that about the Aussies though.
I mean... Isn't Mad Max really just a documentary of daily Australian life deep in the Outback?
Aquila Rossa Congrats. The deep south is still doing kinda good. People in Europe, Aisa, and America have basically none of the knowledge you have after a few generations.
Norway and Switzerland would be okay tho?
Wow, Petrov is probably the greatest hero to ever walk the face of the earth...
Plainsville Productions #2
He was fired
But he was a fuckin' commie
I guess that leads us to think of a different name for this video. 'what if Petrov never trusted his instincts' :P
...and he was punished for doing so. He only received appreciation a few years ago.
The fact we humans have ever created these weapons and the idea we actually used them at one point in history is a supreme crime against nature.
Sure
There are no crimes in nature. She recognizes only the right of the strong.
"What if cold war went nuclear?"
Everybody that aren't in south Asia, oceanic, south america, and below Somalia in africa: *God, why are we dead?*

National Petrov Day
You said it. Dude saved the world.
That hero is still alive today :) he's 77
YES
who cares
B
Petrov really deserves much more credit. That is just insane.
He did get a Nobel peace prize and a citezen award. He will always be noted as the man that saved the world. But to him he was just doing his job.
Few people realise how ridiculously lucky we were, if it were not for him we'd all be dead, 1 man, out of 7 billion people, if 1 man were not present we would have destroyed ourselves. I honestly think that he got us through one of the great filters. I think once civilizations discover nukes they generally destroy themselves but he got us through that
The insane aerospace engineer dude just think what would have happened if he took that day off
crunchwrap supreme your absolutely right
Sady he was sacked because the military was embarrassed because their satilite messed up.
Man am I glad this war never happened. Blessed to have been born after the Cold War in the optimistic decade that was the 90s
@Joker Depends where you were born. In Poland 90' were not as optimistic as in the west, with permanent economic crisis that began in the 80' and politicians unable to repair the country. Only after access to EU situation definitely improves.
4:40
This is in my nightmares
Fallout 5 confirmed.
Seriously though, Petrov saved humanity from nuclear annihiliation for another day!
Joe Higgins another 100 years if we will still be a life
Joe Higgins thays what fallouts story should have bewn
just saying he was on a nuclear submarine and was later punished (not rewarded) by the soviets. The Red button didn't work as it is putting too much responsibility on a possibly corruptible, or suicidal person
Joe Higgins Yeah, he literally saved the northern hemisphere of the world and billions of people. Holy shit
Joe Higgins
That guy who trusted his gut deserved a Nobel Peace prize. Siriously.
I think he got one
He won one in Germany but he died two years ago.
He also received a UN award
Hello Siri[ously], how's the weather today?

Meanwhile on Titan: Thanos is taking notes
nukes would have been easier to get
I never thought I’d come so close to crying from watching a UA-cam video about history. How close that possibility was to becoming reality is absolutely horrifying. Petrov is a fucking hero of humanity and deserves so much more recognition.
We'd all be a cat in the microwave.

As Albert Einstein explained:
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
"

7:14 cold sad barbarians is a good band name
Don't forget that in September 1983, there was also the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 shootdown incident, where a civilian airliner trespassed (accidentally?) into Soviet military airspace TWICE, and in the end, the Soviet pilot that was sent up to intercept the plane was eventually ordered to shoot it down... which he did, killing everyone on board.
That event damn near pushed the U.S. and USSR into a war... aside from the alternate scenario that was described in this video.
No pilot is stupid enough to fly into no flying areas TWICE. Shooting it down was justified as there maybe a squad of US operatives instead of passengers which you never know until the body bags are pulled out of the wreckage
This 1984 is scarier than Orwell's 1984

It's not the nuke siren. It's just the EAS it's used to pretty much every disaster.

Come to think of it, this en tire video was very close to the scenario of MGS : Peace Walker !
The bit at 4:38, where it's simply white EAB-style text on a black background with the sounds of air raids followed by explosions, is positively haunting. Those kind of broadcasts always give me anxiety of one flavor or another, and it's used to great effect here.
Petorv rationale was that America wouldn't launch one, two or three missiles. From a strategic point that's illogical. So he gambled that the system, which was brand new, was defective. And it was. It was a reflection form the sun that gave the impression of a launch. Neither America nor the Soviet Union would ever launch one or two missiles. It would always be an full scale launch to overwhelm your opponent.
Nah not always depending on your objective and opponent
John Doe Well even if it’s just 4 missiles, that leaves plenty of your nukes ready to go even after 4 nukes goes off in your country.
@@JohnDoe-dg8pe if u launch 1 or 2 nukes, then ur opponent launches 50
@Sir Dankistan What about a limited strike? Target enemy military installations.
@@SPARTS3000 that's where mutually assured destruction (M.A.D.) comes into play. The two most powerful nation's the world has ever witnessed would not give each other small love taps and jabs. They would litterally full on bombard each other trying to deal the most massive blows to knock the other one out, pretty much killing all parties involved.
So should we have a
Petrov Day , in celebration that he helped avoided a nuclear war?

That section where you presented an actual nuclear attack, with the bassious thumping of distant bombs, the EAS beeping and then eventual thunderous crack of a nuke overhead was, legit, one of the realest moments of sheer dread I've felt in a very long time.
Bravo, good sir.
leocorn58 I know I was terrified when in the alarm blasts and there’s just a wave wash over you
I legit turned my volume all the way down at that part. That shit really is terrifying.

@@marcyschnier3625 nuclear war will come someday... as fallout predicted it will probably be when resources start dwindling and nations get desperate.
When the EAS played I instantly turned my volume down. I get anxiety from those alarms.
Every time I hear that emergency broadcast system and those sirens, chills run down my spine. Terrifying.
When it said “millions on the east coast vaporized” I felt chills.
Feels different after watching Oppenheimer 😳
“Just cold, sad, barbarians” that had me dying

Ironically even though Petrov saved everyone by not launching he was forcibly removed from his command because he didn't launch. /facepalm Soviet Russia.... lol
PC Invictus remember he only had one job
Actually, he wasn't removed. He was assigned to other parts, and also retired early. Forcibly or not, I'm not sure.
He didn't actually recieve any repurcusions, since he was only in charge of watching the warning systems, instead they just went on like any other day. It wasn't until a decade or two after when he was actually recognized for saving humanity.
The usa would have done the same thing.
He was reassigned to a less sensitive post, took early retirement (although he emphasizes that he was not "forced out" of the army)
Europe is just...dead.

The part where you hear the strikes and the sirens is horrifying. I always believed that the best horror is the kind of horror that is real, and inevitable. That kind of slow burn that gives you enough time to realize: this is it. The world is coming to an end. No one wins, everyone dies

Wow. Hearing those sirens, the emergency broadcast alarm and the soft distant sound of bombs going off is one of the creepiest and most terrifying things I have ever heard. The way you stopped talking and just let those sounds sink caused me to stop what I was doing, (I have UA-cam going on in the background while I work or play video games) and think about what it was you were talking about and how my life would have been different if my parents had heard these sounds and taken action, if they had survived at all, as I was born a week after Sept 26, 1983.

* Those Russian men. There was Petrov, and then there was Vasili Arkhipov. Arkhipov was on a Soviet nuclear sub around Cuba in October 1962. The sub had lost radio contact with Moscow, so when they were attacked with depth charges, protocol stipulated that 3 keys had to be turned to launch the nukes. 2 agreed to do that, but Arkhipov didn't. He is basically the reason why the Cuban Missile Crisis never got hot (apart from JFK removing nukes from Turkey and whoever-was-in-charge-of-the-USSR removing nukes from Cuba). So we should thank both of them for what they did(n't) do.

Don't remember an emu war, could you explain?
Chinchilla ruby they still become a giant shitpost
Chinchilla ruby Please don't speak about it. I was the captain of 32nd infantry division in the great emu wars. All I remember was the squawks and all of my men dead or taken prisoner. I stil have PTED.
Following the Great Depression, Australian military tried to kill some Emus that were "running amok". They failed decisively.
Australians attempt to exterminate large group of emus using soldiers, cars and 2 machine guns. They fail.
If I remember correctly, Petrov thought it was ridiculous that an attack on Russia would use so few missiles. I think the radar indicated the missiles came from a direction that didn't make sense. I also think there were other layers of detection you would wait for confirmation from. 1983 was also the same year the NATO ran the Able-Archer military exercise that the Russians feared was a pretense for an actual attack so I believe the Russians showed an amazing amount of restraint that year.
4:38 to 5:04 is simply one of the most horrifying things live seen and my fear of nuclear war in general was masterfully captured in a few dozen seconds
Watch the 1984 film Threads.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

God bless the Enclave God bless America
Fuck everyone but the followers, the courier is our true hero
You ever wonder how but for the grace of God, we seem to be blessed with having the right people at the right time to save us from total extinction? Stanislav Petrov is one of the greatest heroes of all time.
tottaly agree :3
Milo The Russian Blue "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world."
And that's just ONE of the many near-catastrophic moments that happened during the Cold War. There were many more near-misses.
But Petrov is a COMMIE!Commies can't save the world!They are evil,like the Russia in whole history!Let's declare a war on Russia!Let's save the civilized people!
I'm tired for changing nicknames but they are not communist anymore
Honestly, nothing about nuclear bombs has scared me as much as the visualization of sirens and confusion and alarms at 4:26... it just gets into your head how absolutely horrifying it would be to actually hear that in real life and know that you were about to die, and there was nothing you could do about it.
This one been hittin hard as of late
