For those of you who haven't subscribed to Veritasium yet for some reason:

• Apparently there were a total of thirty-two cases of nuclear weapons going missing during the Cold War?
• And there have been several instances of the bombs never being recovered?
• And there's literally one just lying in a South Carolinan field to this day because they couldn't get it out because it was STILL ARMED
• You've probably heard these stories, but all-out nuclear war was completely avoided on two seperate occasions by two seperate men.
  • One was Stanislav Petrov, who - upon receiving (faulty) signals that the USA had launched an ICBM at the USSR - reasoned that it must be a bug (it was), due to the fact that a preliminary strike would be much larger; and he held this decision even after the computer showed four more signals.
  • The other was Vasily Arkhipov, who was an officer aboard a russian submarine during the Cuban Missile Crisis. They hadn't received a signal from the USSR in several days, and the American air force was dropping warning flashes into the water to draw them out. Two of the officers on board came to the conclusion that war had broken out, and it was in their line of duty to launch their torpedoes - Vasily, however, refused to turn his key.
• Also he didn't bring this up but I would like to point out that one of the stockpiles for American nuclear weapons were in a special place called Manzano Base, and several were moved to an underground bunker beneath the Kirtland Air Force Base.
• I brought this up because the air force base in question is about twenty miles from my house.
