Who says the Cuban Missile Crisis is the closest the world has ever come to nuclear war?
Most people that know anything about it. Anybody with access to classified documents on it that were only declassified in the last few years (both US and USSR papers). These documents show the USSR had battlefield tactical nuclear weapons already installed and ready, the Soviet soldiers in control of them had orders to use them on invading US forces without needing any additional approval. Had Kennedy chosen to send in troops, as most of his advisors wanted, they would have been wiped out by these weapons, Kennedy would have had no choice but full nuclear strike, then Khrushchev would have had no choice but full nuclear strike back, etc. It was sitting all on this hair trigger and US was unaware of the USSR battlefield tactical nuclear weapons until USSR was removing them after the crisis was over.
