For example, Ronald Reagan thought his mic was off in 1984 and to test it he said: "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." The mic was not off.

I have no idea why he was stupid enough to say that anyway, but it caused a panic.

Any other examples?
