Agreed. Think of what people went through during the "Cold War" with Russia as students had to do Nuclear Bomb drills in school "Duck and Cover".

Agreed. Was in Hawaii 2 weeks ago and this would have instilled panic for sure. Glad all is ok.

Just read a little in the news. They are trying to figure it out at this point. Scary doesn’t begin to describe it.

Prior to getting a newer Samsung phone I was unaware of such a thing as a "Presidential Alert"! All the other alerts can be manually turned off but not that one

Hawaii Gov. David Ige told CNN that human error caused the alert to go out.
"It was a mistake made during a standard procedure at the change over of a shift, and an employee pushed the wrong button," he said



So there you have it.

Seems like sending out that warning would be more that just pushing the wrong button...wow, what a button though.

I had the same thought. It would have had to have gone something like this:

Are you sure you want to send out an Imminent Incoming Missile Warning? Yes.

Are you really sure? Yes.

Are you sure you're sure? Yes.

Message sent.

Ah crap!

This is not a drill! Take immediate action. Drink your best wine. Smoke a big fat joint. Oops, I saw it on FB. Nevermind.

I apologize to all members of the board for not thinking before I posted my comment. It was inappropriate and will not happen again.

Maybe the state of Hawaii should rethink their use of the "Staples Easy Button" for the deployment of ballistic missile alerts.

Sounds like it may be a blessing in disguise then. Hopefully it will lead to some better planning in the event there is an actual threat in the future.

I feel like this warning should need at least 2 people’s authorization to send out. Or maybe it’s just next to the time clock?
In all seriousness, I can’t imagine what that 38 minutes would have been like.
Back to joking- slightly more intense than watching a PWCC auction go out of reach.

The silver lining is that there are millions of conversations going on today about what, exactly, to do in that case. The whole debacle may even end up saving lives.

I can imagine. Probably not a lot of basements or bomb shelters on an island. Hopefully whoever "accidentally" sent that alert out is looking for a new job.

Was vacationing with my family in Waikiki in Dec and they tested the sirens, but they couldn’t be heard in our vicinity. We heard about the issue on the news that night. Not sure what I would have done if the we were there during this false alarm? Grabbed the wife and kid and then what? Scary.

It's so lovely being lectured to by a dimwit who doesn't seem capable of understanding the written word. Enjoy your suspension.

If this would've happened Southern California, it would've been totally different. The freeways would've been bumper to bumper of people trying to get outta of L.A., etc. Mass hysteria, looting, etc. It's already stressed out enough. Good thing it didn't happen here.

Interesting observation about what reaction might be in different places, Richard.

At the end of the day, I am just very very thankful that it is not true. The threat of war is always real and all of us have a lot to be thankful for regarding this, not just those in Hawaii.

There were people putting their kids in storm drains.

I've been through my share of being blown around from rockets. Sometimes sparking the question "incoming?" so you knew whether or not you have time to wipe your ass before retaliating or just go with butt stank until the fight is over. I think I'd at least enjoy a wet wipe to the ass if I got a nuclear warning. I call total bullshit that it was a hap hazard mistake. Also, the best part of this site is not listening to anyone's political opinions. Keep that shit out of here.

[QUOTE=KMayUSA6060;1738768]There were people putting their kids in storm drains./QUOTE]

I shuddered when I saw this on the news last nite. This panic-stricken father potentially exposed his kid to greater harm, possibly fatally, by his actions. There is built up methane gas in storm drain lines from decomposing matter that can either knock you out, or kill quickly. Storm drain catch basins aren't a 2' drop but can be over 10'+. If the kid missed the grab bar / foot rungs, she could have a nasty fall. Never enter a storm drain structure w/o prior checking for presence of gasses with a gas detector. Never just pop a MH cover and jump in thinking it's safe. I speak from experience, having worked many years in muni infrastructures.

And I will wager we'll have this occur again
