Cold War Close Calls

Cold War Close Calls tells the true stories of the incidents that nearly changed history.

From dropped wrenches in nuclear silos and failed safety switches over North Carolina, to battery-less Soviet bugs and submarine standoffs in the Cuban Missile Crisis — we break down how the machines worked, how they failed, and the people caught in the middle.

Expect 30 - 40 minute, documentary-style videos focused on:
• Nuclear near-misses and accident investigations
• Spy gadgets, covert operations, and signal intelligence
• Submarines, bombers, and high-stakes engineering

If you grew up under the shadow of the Cold War, served, or just love serious history and old-school engineering, this channel is for you.
