The U-2 Incident!
The U-2 incident was probably one of the scariest moments in time during the Cold War. As the missile count was rising in Cuba, the USA decided to fly U-2 planes over Cuba to take photos of nuclear camps. One day, the Soviets spotted our planes and tried shooting them down. This angered the Soviets even more than they already were, and this got us even closer to them firing nuclear weapons at us and vise versa.

Its unbelievable that knowing the soviets knew that we were flying U-2 Planes over their camp sites that they were building missiles on; all it did is put our solider flyin the plane at risk to be killed.
