karl schumacher, a political activist in germany, was one of the first people to publicize petrov’s story back in the late 1990s. but schumacher reportedly learned of petrov’s death this month after contacting petrov’s home. petrov’s son dmitry reported that the man who saved the world all those years ago had died on may 19, 2017. schumacher confirmed petrov’s death to gizmodo this morning .
the moment that “saved” came to me was after my move from new york to el paso. i was in a relationship at the time, and everything was super rocky because of the lack of distance. we didn’t see each other face to face anymore. we soon decided, after i moved, that the relationship wasn’t as necessary as it was. she had to find herself. i had to find myself. but at the same time, we always let each other know, “i’ll keep your number saved in case you need me. in case you need someone to talk to. if you want a conversation. if you fall for me again. ” it was a sense of comfort, just by having her number. i still have her number to this day .
on september 26, 1983, soviet military officer stanislav petrov received a message that five nuclear missiles had been launched by the united states and were heading to moscow. he didn’t launch a retaliatory strike, believing correctly that it was a false alarm. and with that, he saved the world from nuclear war. but now reports have surfaced that petrov died this past may. he was 77 years old .
the correlation between the cell phone usage in “location” and “saved
—it’s just the fact that everyone, including myself, we’re so wrapped up in this digital era. our phone is kind of our safety net. when your phone dies, you’re kind of fucked. you don’t know what to do for 10 to 20 minutes until that phone is up. we have certain attachments in life. whether it’s your phone. whether it’s your own personal music. or whether it’s your relationship. there is a lot of attachments that we keep, and we’ll probably keep for the rest of our lives, that we can’t get over. and i feel like talking about the cellphone usage in “saved” was kind of hinting the fact of this attachment. literally the only thing that i have. i deleted all the pictures. i threw away all your shit, but i still have your phone, so somehow i’m still attached to you .
lt. col. stanislav petrov was 44 years old and working at a missile detection bunker south of moscow on september 26, 1983. his computer told him that five nuclear missiles were on their way, and given their flight time, he had just 20 minutes to launch a counter attack. but petrov told his superior officers that it was a false alarm. he had absolutely no real evidence that this was true, but it probably saved millions of lives .

as city her and city him, lynne wintersteller and glenn mure add their good voices throughout, most memorably to'' greed,'' a tribute to the darker aspect of christmas. they are less fortunate in having to labor through comedy sequences that never get off the ground and should have been kept off the stage. as the jail - seeking bum, soapy, bert michaels is the main victim of these pernicious routines; he does a neat tap dance and his vaudeville moves are smooth, but the material is beyond saving. soapy himself is saved, however, by the musical numbers, especially one with jim, called'' bum luck,'' which features some witty word play to the accompaniment of a scrub brush on a garbage can .
an early contender for the worst film of the year, the painfully unfunny saved! is every bit as reductive as your average high school underdog fantasy, except it also has a bigger fish to fry than mandy moore’s psycho - bitch: christianity. when mary (jena malone) finds out her boyfriend may be gay, she looks to jesus and sleeps with dean (chad faust) in order to cure him. naturally, mary’s act of mercy fails, and when her boyfriend’s parents find the leather - daddy porn under his bed, the boy is dutifully shipped to the mercy house for conversion therapy. pregnant and alone, mary befriends the school’s outcasts, wheelchair - bound roland (macaulay culkin) and jewish goth - freakazoid cassandra (eva amurri), and together they fight the evil forces of moore’s christian monster, the racist hilary faye (a reference to the evangelical tammy faye perhaps ?) .
mary is a senior at american eagle christian high school in suburban baltimore. she considers herself born again, despite the fact that her rebirth was at age three. her best girlfriends are two classmates that comprise the christian jewels band with her. hilary faye is the alpha christian, who outwardly is perfect, especially in her connection to god. and veronica is ethnic vietnamese who was adopted and thus saved by a black christian couple. a third is tia, who is generally an outsider in her geek status but who aspires to be in this christian clique. also within their social circle solely out of necessity is hilary faye' s older brother roland, who has been in a wheelchair since age nine after falling out of a tree, and who, out of family obligation hilary faye transports everywhere including to / from school. beyond that transportation, roland and hilary faye generally have disdain for each other. one of hilary faye' s god driven missions for the year is to save cassandra, a jewish ...
good girl
mary and her domineering best friend, hilary faye, are starting their senior year at the top of the social food chain at american eagle christian high school - - that is until mary' s boyfriend tells her that he thinks he may be gay. when jesus appears to her in a vision, she heeds his message to
do everything she can to help her boyfriend
and, to her horror, she ends up pregnant. suddenly, mary begins to question everything she' s believed in, and hilary faye and her devoted
disciples
soon turn against her. as an outcast, mary finds herself alone until she' s befriended by the school' s other pariahs: hilary faye' s cynical wheelchair - bound brother, roland; the principal' s skater heart - throb son, patrick; and the high school' s lone jew, an exuberant rebel named cassandra. the group of outsiders band together to navigate the treacherous halls of high school and make it to graduation - - ultimately learning more about themselves, finding faith in unexpected places, and realizing what it truly means to be saved !
imagine a britain where the most important sites of historical significance are replaced with housing estates and supermarkets… imagine a britain without bletchley park, where alan turing and a team of code breakers changed the course of world war ii and where thousands of women inspired future generations with their work in the fields of computing and technology... now imagine a group of extraordinary people, who – seventy years after the birth of the modern computer at bletchley park – used technology to spark a social media campaign that helped secure its future and transform it into the world - class heritage and education centre it deserves to be. this is a story about saving bletchley park. but it is also the story of the hundreds of people who dedicated twenty years of hard work and determination to the campaign that saved it. it is a testament to the remarkable and mysterious work during world war ii that made it a place worth saving. it is a book about campaigners, veterans, enthusiasts, computer geeks, technology, twitter, trees and stephen fry stuck in a lift. and finally, it is a story about preserving the past for the generations of tomorrow .

i really liked this film! it was funny and it also gave out a positive message. a must see !
a teen comedy with the typical cliques and baddies but also, many deep commentaries on love, sex, faith, humanity, and diversity. every character achieves redemption in his or her own way, but that' s okay because it echoes what the movie believes true christianity should be. the

i don’t think brian de palma ever anticipated the effects his brilliant, genuinely subversive but unquestionably compassionate adaptation of stephen king’s carrie would have on modern film culture. as oppressive as piper laurie’s fundamentalist she - devil may have been, she was nowhere near as horrible as the vicious teens that tortured and crucified sissy spacek’s titular character on her prom night. from grease to confessions of a teenage drama queen, carrie ‘s lousiest rip - offs fail to embrace and reinterpret the spiritual challenge of de palma’s film. instead, modern filmmakers seem to be attracted only to the story’s blood lust, using it to appeal to that juvenile sensation that gets off on seeing the social outcast embarrass the abusive bully before a crowd of their peers .

if your reference to grease was the patty simcox character, i think it' s important to note (and i side with eric on his review) that the last frames of her onscreen were not of her getting her just desserts. and if it was rizzo - well, bully or not, people liked her (so did i; for me, stockard channing was the only thing close to being a saving grace on that poultrygeist of a film). i' m actually surprised, given the clique nature of this film and the in - clique actually naming themselves, that you didn' t bring up something like jawbreaker or the in - crowd (even in passing). since both of them staged their bitch - went - down finales with carrie in mind. unlike hilary faye in this movie, who isn' t actually destroyed at the end (so much for your monster theory). she just has to get herself together. it' s not unfair of the movie to treat her like this, none of the characters get everything handed to them. almost everyone was a bit scrabbled .

the acoustic vibe of the song made it very personal. the first time i recorded it, it was with a friend of mine. he had a guitar, he was playing behind me, and i sung one take over the whole song. to me, that felt like my own voice memo. so every time i would listen to the song, i would try to listen to get over whatever problems or demons i was fighting inside, involving the situation. so recreating and still keeping that vibe, kind of reminded me of the position i was in a year ago. the main thing i did want to change was the vibe of the original song behind the guitar .

stanislav petrov, a former soviet military officer, poses at his home in 2015 near moscow. in 1983, he was on duty when the soviet union' s early warning satellite indicated the u. s. had fired nuclear weapons at his country. he suspected, correctly, it was a false alarm and did not immediately send the report up the chain of command. petrov died at age 77 .
stanislav petrov was a lieutenant colonel in the soviet union' s air defense forces, and his job was to monitor his country' s satellite system, which was looking for any possible nuclear weapons launches by the united states .
he was on the overnight shift in the early morning hours of sept. 26, 1983, when the computers sounded an alarm, indicating that the u. s. had launched five nuclear - armed intercontinental ballistic missiles .
the siren howled, but i just sat there for a few seconds, staring at the big, back - lit, red screen with the word' launch' on it ,
petrov told the bbc in 2013 .
it was already a moment of extreme tension in the cold war. on sept. 1 of that year, the soviet union shot down a korean air lines plane that had drifted into soviet airspace, killing all 269 people on board, including a u. s. congressman. the episode led the u. s. and the soviets to exchange warnings and threats .
petrov had to act quickly. u. s. missiles could reach the soviet union in just over 20 minutes .
there was no rule about how long we were allowed to think before we reported a strike ,
petrov told the bbc .
but we knew that every second of procrastination took away valuable time, that the soviet union' s military and political leadership needed to be informed without delay. all i had to do was to reach for the phone; to raise the direct line to our top commanders — but i couldn' t move. i felt like i was sitting on a hot frying pan .
he had been trained to expect an all - out nuclear assault from the u. s. , so it seemed strange that the satellite system was detecting only a few missiles being launched. and the system itself was fairly new. he didn' t completely trust it .
[ petrov ] just had this feeling in his gut that it wasn' t right. it was five missiles. it didn' t seem like enough. so even though by all of the protocols he had been trained to follow, he should absolutely have reported that up the chain of command and, you know, we should be talking about the great nuclear war of 1983 if any of us survived .
after several nerve - jangling minutes, petrov didn' t send the computer warning to his superiors. he checked to see if there had been a computer malfunction .
twenty - three minutes later i realized that nothing had happened ,
he said in 2013 .
if there had been a real strike, then i would already know about it. it was such a relief .
that episode and the 1962 cuban missile crisis are considered to be the closest the u. s. and the soviets came to a nuclear exchange. and while the cuban missile crisis has been widely examined, petrov' s actions have received much less attention .
petrov died on may 19, at age 77, in a suburb outside moscow, according to news reports monday. he had long since retired and was living alone. news of his death apparently went unrecognized at the time .
karl schumacher, a german political activist who had highlighted petrov' s actions in recent years, tried to contact petrov earlier this month to wish him a happy birthday. instead, he reached petrov' s son, dmitri, who said his father had died in may .
petrov said he received an official reprimand for making mistakes in his logbook on sept. 26, 1983 .
that was my job ,
he said .
but they were lucky it was me on shift that night .
the two - way was an npr blog that ran from 2009 to 2018 .
the two - way is the place to come for breaking news, analysis and for stories that are just too interesting — or too entertaining — to pass up .
in this august 27, 2015 photo former soviet missile defense forces officer stanislav petrov poses for a photo at his home in fryazino, moscow region, russia. (ap photo / pavel golovkin )
“the siren howled, but i just sat there for a few seconds, staring at the big, back - lit, red screen with the word ‘launch’ on it, ” petrov told the bbc’s russian service back in 2013 .
“i had all the data [ to suggest there was an ongoing missile attack ]. if i had sent my report up the chain of command, nobody would have said a word against it, ” petrov said .
“there was no rule about how long we were allowed to think before we reported a strike. but we knew that every second of procrastination took away valuable time; that the soviet union’s military and political leadership needed to be informed without delay, ” he told the bbc .
“all i had to do was to reach for the phone; to raise the direct line to our top commanders—but i couldn’t move. i felt like i was sitting on a hot frying pan, ” petrov said .
perhaps importantly, petrov noted that he was the only officer around that day who had received a civilian education. everyone else were professional soldiers and he believed that they would have simply reported the attack at face value. the men around him were “taught to give and obey orders. ” luckily, petrov disobeyed what simply didn’t feel right to him .
petrov reasoned that if the americans were going to launch a first strike they’d send more than five missiles, despite the fact that they could still do an enormous amount of damage. he also believed that since the alert system was relatively new it seemed likely that it could be sending a false alarm .
if petrov had been wrong, he would have compromised the soviet union’s ability to retaliate against a nuclear strike. but if he was right, world war iii would be averted. thankfully, he was right. and sadly, his wasn’t the first, nor the last, close call that the world has seen. the cold war saw far too many false alarms triggered by everything from a computer simulation in 1979 to a nato military exercise in 1983, just two months after petrov’s false alarm. and then there was the cuban missile crisis of 1962 and the captain who defied his direct orders .
it’s truly amazing that the world survived the cold war. and it’ll be even more amazing if we survive the current missile crisis that’s heating up on the korean peninsula .
rest in peace, stanislav petrov. you may not have gotten the recognition you deserved in life, but hopefully you’ll be remembered in death. those of us living in the 21st century owe you a tremendous debt. and the best most of us can do is hope that the nuclear powers of the world learn something from your heroism .

he former soviet military officer credited with saving the world from nuclear destruction has died at the age of 77. stanislav petrov, a lieutenant colonel in the soviet air defence forces, was the officer on duty at the soviet union’s early warning centre when
malfunctioning computers signaled the united states had launched missiles at the country in september 1983 .
karl schumacher, a german film maker who first publicised the story in the west, said in a statement that he learnt of petrov’s death when he tried to get in touch to wish him happy birthday .
petrov’s son, dmitry petrov, told mr schumacher that his father had died on may 19 .
on the night of september 26, 1983, he was on duty at the soviet union’s early warning centre near moscow when computers warned that the united states had fired five nuclear missiles at the country .
the machine indicated the information was of the highest certainty ,
he later recalled .
on the wall big red letters burnt the word: start. that meant the missile had definitely been fired .
e had just minutes to decide whether to assess the attack as genuine and inform the kremlin that the united states was starting world war three - or tell his commanders that the soviet union' s early warning system was faulty .
uessing that a genuine american attack would have involved hundreds of missiles, he put the alarm down to a computer malfunction .
lt col petrov was vindicated when an internal investigation following the incident concluded that soviet satellites had mistaken sunlight reflected on clouds for rocket engines .
the soviet government’s policy in the event of a us nuclear attack was to launch an immediate and all - out retaliatory strike in accordance with the principle of mutually assured destruction .
although petrov was feted by his colleagues and initially praised by superiors for his actions, he was not rewarded .
he later complained that he was scolded by superiors for failing to complete a routine paperwork during the incident and had been scapegoated by generals embarrassed by the failure of the early warning system .
he took early retirement from the armed forces the following year and retired outside moscow .
the incident was only made public in 1998 with the publication of the memoirs of general yury vontintsev, mr petrov’s superior at the time .

stanislav petrov died in may, but the news only broke after a friend tried calling on this birthday .
the man credited with saving the world from nuclear disaster during the cold war has died in moscow aged 77 .
stanislav petrov was a soviet officer on duty the night of september 26, 1983, when an early warning system flashed a warning that the us had launched missiles against the ussr .
petrov, from a secret command centre outside moscow, could have immediately instigated a retaliation with a phone call .
instead, the then 44 - year - old lieutenant colonel trusted his gut, which told him it was it was merely a system malfunction. and after five nerve - wracking minutes, he made a decision that may have prevented a nuclear war .
he turned out to be right. the false alarm was apparently triggered when the soviet satellite mistook the sun' s reflection off the tops of clouds for a missile launch .
petrov died in may, but the news has only just come out after a german filmmaker tried to call him this month for his birthday .
external link:'' i knew perfectly well that nobody would be able to correct my mistake if i had made one ,
petrov told the bbc .
it was completely unexpected, as such things usually are. the siren sounded very loudly and i just sat there for a few seconds, staring at the screen with the word
launch
displayed in bold, red letters ,
petrov told the bbc in 2013 .
i would not trust the computer. i picked up the telephone handset, spoke to my superiors and reported that the alarm was false .
the russian state - funded broadcaster rt also spoke with petrov in 2010, when he acknowledged the gravity of the situation .
we' ve never been as close to a nuclear war, neither before nor later on. it was the very climax ,
he said .
paul dibb an emeritus professor of strategic studies at the australian national university, has been reflecting on petrov' s moment in the hot seat .
during the cold war, professor dibb was the top soviet analyst in canberra and visited moscow as a declared intelligence officer in 1976 .
in reality, the white house has no single button that would unleash a nuclear attack in reality, given the us nuclear arsenal is spread around the world .
the important thing is to acknowledge what he did, and secondly, to remember — as few people in australia do — that 1983 was in fact the most dangerous year in the cold war ,
he said .
professor dibb said although there are parallels with north korea today, the threat of nuclear war in the 1980s was far greater .
it' s not to underrate current threat north korea but, frankly there' s a lot of difference between north korean nuclear capability and the soviet union with 12, 000 strategic nuclear warheads — each side destroying a quarter of the population ,
he said .
although north korea has nothing like the former soviet capability, it looks as though it' s developing sufficiently, if you like, to tear an arm off the united states .
the difference, despite what said we have said about 1983, as the cold war progressed, the fact is the soviets and the americans were talking to each other .
the worry about the united states and particularly north korea is north korea is a hermit kingdom. they talk to nobody .
