The Cuban Missile Crisis This Is probably the closest mankind has ever gotten to extinction. This was a time when tensions were at it's highest.

…showed last 75 words of 584 total…think that they knew what would happen if they decided to launch a nuclear attack, and they decided it wasn't worth becoming extinct because of a dumb decision that they would regret later, but wouldn't be able to because they would be dead before they could say "I never went to Disneyland!" To me they would have to be mentally ill in some way to make a decision like that. But…that's just my opinion.
