The alert read in all capital letters: “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.” --- End quote --- --- Quote from: CNBC ---Michael Kucharek, spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado Springs, Colorado, said NORAD and the U.S. Northern Command are still trying to verify what happened in Hawaii — but that "NORAD did not see anything that indicated any sort of threat" to the island. --- End quote --- https://twitter.com/hawaii/status/952241478536867840 https://twitter.com/Hawaii_EMA/status/952243912415985664 https://twitter.com/NutzFordBucks/status/952243050675281922 what a mistake, eh? /discuss |

I slept through that missile warning alarm. I could've died. but yeah, i heard that some old guy was in charge of the system at that time and pushed the wrong button. i assume that when i got that alarm on my phone, some new guy was in charge of the system. that's not the case i guess. |
