  Vasily Archipov is a true hero. Unfortunately, I don&apos;t believe that people like that are made any more.<br>Great video.

  This is exactly why you need level headed leaders at the helm when a crisis of this magnitude occurs. Just imagine if those hot headed war mongering generals on both sides got what they wanted. None of us would probably be here to watch this great documentary.

  @ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UbVuTXg4CQ&amp;t=260">4:20</a> I love how the Soviet troops dressed as civilians to avoid detection, then proceeded to make military formations and march around the island. Way to stay lowkey.

  It’s crazy to think that on multiple occasions, the fate of the world was on a knife edge of diplomacy and sheer luck! I shudder to think what kind of a world we would have inherited had full scale nuclear war actually occurred. Excellent documentary!

  Shouts out to that one dude on the submarine. Jesus Christ. Reminds me of that dude in Hawaii who had a system failure regarding incoming ICBMs and chose not to launch a counterattack. These types of events are seriously disturbing.

  I respect the level-headedness of the two leaders in spite of war-mongering people around them.

  Hard to imagine that 60 years has passed since the Cuban Missle crisis occurred.
