That’s just damn terrifying. Human error shouldn’t be capable of making people in Hawaii call their family on the mainland and say goodbye because they’re about to be blown to bits. It can’t be an “oh shit, I clicked the wrong button.” It had to be deliberate.

*HAS to be deliberate. Meaning in order to send such horrifying a mass warning should be a multi step process where human error really isn’t possible. Even if it’s just multiple password entries or something.

It sounds like the confirmation step is basically a "Are you sure Y/N" pop-up dialog box.

I get more pop-up confirmations than that trying to pay on my student loans. That’s ridiculous.

But now we know how Trump would respond to a nuclear attack on our nation. Fore!

May we all take a moment to be grateful that the sorry pile of hot garbage was on his umpteenth vacation since taking office and too busy golfing to childishly react withoit thought or consultation and get us all killed!

1) Humans make errors and I wouldn’t like to be in this one’s skin. 2) If system relies on button push it is fundamentally flawed by design. 3) If not (I hope!): Regular testing is needed. Button is fine 4 this - but not with a note “this is not a drill”! Get smart!

Wait, isn’t this the part in WarGames where we switch to computers and Joshua sends us on the road to Global Thermonuclear war?

Not sure whether I buy this, if there was a hack, they wouldn't announce it till it was fixed.

I'm just glad it was an error. Mistakes are going to happen and this wont be the last. Makes you think about your own preparedness.

THe cause of a real alarm would also be human error. There is no reason for us to have to live with these threats.

This shouldn't be within the power of a human. Humans make mistakes. Humans fuck up. Just look at Trump.
