That clock is flawed - the closest the world has ever been to nuclear oblivion was the Cuban missile crises in Oct-63 and that's not even on there. We were probably only 10 seconds away on that scale ....

Scaremongers and bed-wetters ....

was someone bored coming up with this? really, is there nothing else in the world, so they report on an imaginary clock being moved an arbitrary amount, towards an indeterminate event?

13 days of holding our breath to see who would blink first. Fortunately, it was Khrushchev.

Ps it was Oct 62.

We're closer to nuclear war now than we were during the Cold War. It was never really a possibility at that time, both countries were fear mongering to stabilize their regime (USSR), or building a consensus for a permanent war-time economy (US). Nothing like a good dose of fear induced patriotism to build popular support.
