Lots of people died - fatally.

This killed more then 9/11.

Why is 9/11 number 1?

One of the greatest tragedies in history.

At the height of the crisis on 27 October 1962 a Soviet B59 submarine

Both the Captain and the Political Officer authorised the launch of nuclear weapons against targets in the U.S. But a unanimous decision of 3 officers was required for the launch, and Arkhipov, the second-in-command, refused to agree until the sub surfaced and tried to contact Moscow first.

The world today would be unrecognizable to us had this least senior of 3 officers on a Soviet sub been successfully pressured by the other two into agreeing to launch its missiles.

Slightly different weather on that September day back in 1066, and all of Europe would now look distinctly different.
