What a courageous man. It's hard to imagine someone taking a "warning" so important to the survival of their nation and making a quick judgement that it was a "false alarm" and ignore it. Millions of people are alive today because of his confidence in his assessment of the risk. RIP Stanislov Petrov and God Bless!
