The Guardian [theguardian.com] and other news sources report, that Soviet Colonel Stanislav Petrov has died, age 77.

Petrov has become (not very) famous, because in 1983 his quick decision making averted a possible nuclear war [wikipedia.org].

I think that we, humans, are bad at recognizing significant events that led to everything continuing as normal..
