The man who saved the world

[Chilling story of how close World War III came in 1983](http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/09/926-is-petrov-d.html). And the man who saved us all.

I’m with [Megan McArdle](http://meganmcardle.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/09/spasebo_stanislav_petrov.php): Why is there not some kind of prize for this man. Possibly some kind of prize for creating peace?
