Et je crois qu'on doit tous un grand merci à monsieur Stanislav Petrov d'avoir su reconnaître un faux positif dû à un bug d'une vraie alerte nucléaire :
"in 1983, Stanislav Petrov was working as an air-defense officer in Oko, Russia. One day his facility’s new nuclear early-warning system reported that five missiles were incoming from the United States. Petrov concluded it was probably a glitch in the new computer and declined to tell his superiors, who may have taken a more combative tack."
