"On September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov made the correct decision to not trust
a computer. The early warning system at command center Serpukhov-15, loudly
alerting of a nuclear attack from the United States, was of course modern and
up-to-date. Stanislav Petrov was in charge, working his second shift in place
of a colleague who was ill. Many officers facing the same situation would have
called their superiors to alert them of the need for a counter-attack.
Especially as fellow officers were shouting at him to retaliate quickly before
it was too late. Petrov did not succumb."
