How a Nuclear War Would Actually Start — Minute by Minute

A nuclear war would not start with a speech. It would start with a heat bloom and a clock. On January 25th, 1995, a Norwegian science rocket was read as a Trident. The nuclear briefcase opened. About eight of ten minutes went to tracking. This video walks the public-record clock: t=0, t=1, t=5, then the decision window, the keys, the short clock from the sea, the 1983 night shift, and what does not happen. 0:00 The Clock Starts 0:40 T Equals Zero 1:55 One Minute In 3:20 Five Minutes In 4:45 The Decision Window 6:05 Keys In The Ground 7:25 And It Gets Worse 8:50 The 1983 Night Shift 10:20 What Does Not Happen 11:40 After The Clock Public-record timelines and close calls only. Flight times and arsenal sizes are about, not a classified checklist. This is not a prediction and not a drill. #NuclearWar #ICBM #MinuteByMinute #WhatIf #StanislavPetrov #ColdWar #ScienceExplained #NuclearWeapons Disclaimer: educational walkthrough of open-source nuclear-command timelines and historical false alarms.
