The Soviet Submarine That Almost Started World War III

In October 1986, just days before the Reagan-Gorbachev summit, a Soviet ballistic missile submarine suffered a catastrophic explosion in the Atlantic Ocean. Carrying 16 nuclear missiles and two reactors, the K-219 surfaced in distress, leaking toxic gas and radiation. What followed was a terrifying 72-hour ordeal that brought the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of a naval confrontation. This documentary reveals the fatal design flaws of the Yankee-class submarine, the heroic sacrifice of 20-year-old Sergei Preminin who manually shut down the reactor, and the command decisions of Captain Igor Britanov that saved his crew but ended his career. Join us as we dive into the classified history of the K-219, a disaster that could have turned the Cold War hot, and explore the silent wreck that still lies 18,000 feet beneath the sea.
