weasl rated 8 months ago- damn interesting.

Christns4Dawkins rated 9 months ago- my skeptic meter is tripping

demonveen rated 9 months ago- I appreciate the detail that we frequently find on "Damn Interesting" pages -- but I still think that the melodramatic language is not called for. Errors in such a complex system are expected, which is why double-checking and highly specific protocols are called for. Presentations of these errors would be more informative and interesting (if less titillating) if the risks were more accurately presented.

barrelhead rated 9 months ago- From the page: "ounce of prevention is worth a megaton of cure."

JohnShepler rated 9 months ago- One of these days, we WILL shoot our eye out.

clevercryptic rated 9 months ago- From the page: "explaining why he did not pass the information on to his superiors: "When people start a war, they don't start it with only five missiles. You can do little damage with just five missiles.""

hevyfkinmetal rated 9 months ago- what if they had reacted to nuclear "attack" information?

Koncur rated 9 months ago- I'd heard of the incident with Stanislav Petrov, but the rest I hadn't heard of. Really interesting article about how many times over the course of the Cold War some malfunction nearly set in motion the end of the world.
