.@NWSHonolulu says the emergency alert in Hawaii has been confirmed to be a test message and does not depict a real threat http://cbsn.ws/2D7gvXs pic.twitter.com/Xal3oBO95T
Hawaii Sen. @brianschatz says the emergency alert was a "false alarm based on a human error" http://cbsn.ws/2D7gvXs pic.twitter.com/ynFDeHaSJx
Someone definitely had a real heart attack from that. Imagine if Trump saw that while scrolling on Twitter? He would’ve impulsively pressed his “big red button” right away and started a war!
Worst possible kind of alert error. Next time people will hesitate/question validity.
Please also confirm this was not a test of the Russian Emergency Broadcast System.
That's great but A. How does an emergency alert "indadvertedly" get sent? and B. Why did nobody follow up with a "everyone chill" alert?
Now we're told it was s drillhttps://mobile.twitter.com/michellebvd/status/952247260695244800 …
... to test how many people throw their kids into storm drains? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like there are better ways to go about drills.
Send another message to smart phones to say it's a false alarm!!! Only news is on social media. What a failure of Hawaii EMA.
What agency put that emergency warning out there?
. .”Hey yeah sorry Hawaii we just told you all your lives were gonna end but it was an accident be cool”
The text went out but no sirens heard
If it was real, there would be no warning. It’s nice to be on your toes. I think it was just, somebody, messing with society.
Lord have Mercy.......Lord have Mercy please....my prayers are with the people of Hawaii whose hair have probably all gone a shade of white today...
It even says this isn't a drill. Holy christ my heart just failed. I DON"T EVEN LIVE THERE
