Thank you, Colonel Petrov

It's 26th September. Each year I like to remember Stansilav Petrov and his bravery on this day in 1983. He risked his career and did not follow Soviet Air Force doctrine that would have led to a nuclear war.

Thank you, Colonel Petrov, and thanks to all the other people who over the years chose sanity over nuclear madness.
