The president had just spoken the night before, as if the world hesitated to commit itself to another day.
00:02:49.180
The streets that normally bustled with life were unnervingly quiet, as though the air carried a silent warning.
00:02:58.460
Everybody that day knew exactly what was at stake.
00:03:06.700
Everybody in America, and in Russia, knew that this could be the very last sunrise they'd ever see.
00:03:17.620
In kitchens across America, families gathered not for breakfast, more for solace.
00:03:24.280
Radios hummed low and tense, spilling out fragments of news from Washington, Moscow, and Havana.
00:03:35.460
The announcers tried to sound composed, but their voices betrayed what they were trying to convey.
00:03:43.440
They were quivering, careful, and burdened by the responsibility of carrying words that might spell the end of absolutely everything.
00:03:50.920
All across America, men gripped a mug of coffee with knuckles white as bones.
00:04:05.340
Their eyes hollowed and fixed as they sat at their kitchen table, staring beyond the walls of their home,
00:04:12.740
as if they could see the invisible forces shifting over the ocean.
00:04:17.180
Just last night, the president, President Kennedy, had said,
00:04:24.560
Today, we're meeting the Russian forces, and they shall not pass.
00:04:31.960
The man's wife stood by the sink, scrubbing with mechanical fury,
00:04:43.220
Outside the window, the world looked unchanged, calm even.
00:04:53.320
Every bird that soared across the sky seemed to mock the silent fear of those below.
00:04:58.820
The man's wife stood by the sink, scrubbing with mechanical fury,
00:05:01.940
children were playing in half-hearted whispers,
00:05:04.380
their games shadowed by the absurdity of what they had been just taught in school.
00:05:09.000
Over and over again, they ran the drills for the last two weeks.
00:05:14.500
Duck and cover, as though those wooden desks would somehow shield them from the wrath of an atomic fire.
00:05:25.040
But the motions of safety were all that remained.
00:05:53.760
carrying death on a trajectory no one could stop?
00:05:57.300
It was late in the afternoon that word finally arrived.
00:06:14.460
Can you imagine the relief that swept across the nation like a wave?
00:06:23.340
Only silence and the collective exhale of a planet spared annihilation.
00:06:33.400
It was marked by the knowledge of how close the world had come to tearing itself apart.
00:06:47.920

00:07:46.760
that nuclear war could never be fought and won.
