911 audio reveals police knew within five minutes that the Hawaii missile alert was false — but it took 38 minutes before the panicking public was told it was a mistake

Police dispatchers in Hawaii found out in five minutes than an alert warning of an incoming ballistic missile was a false alarm – but the panicked public weren't told for 38 minutes.

Newly released 911 recordings show that officers across Hawaii were informed by police dispatchers that the alert, issued at 8.07am on Saturday, was 'just a drill.'

But the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HEMA) - which caused chaos across the Pacific island state of 1.4million people after an employee accidentally issued the alert – didn't cancel the warning with an official message until 8.45am.

The 911 recordings, obtained by the Mercury News, reveals officers were told at 8.12am that there was no imminent threat to the state of Hawaii.

Can’t they just put up signs that say:

“Ballistic Missile-Free Zone”

“Ballistic Missiles Forbidden by Law”

and that would solve everything?

Their own cell phones started chirping out warnings they sent.

They knew in seconds.

Apparently there is no “stand down” or “all clear” button (yet) that would rapidly senda “you won’t die today” blanket signal.

A warning of a nuclear missile launch is about the most monumental warning of any sort that could be issued in these days and times. What amazes me most about this entire affair is that a nuclear warning system of any sort exists that can be initiated by only one person. I thought there’d be multiple checks by more than one person for anything of this magnitude, but apparently not.

The Clintons, Huma Abedin, and even possibly Obama were all in Hawaii ...coincidence?

One, possibly two previous US Presidents in Hawaii during the false alarm missile alert and it's not news?

It would be no surprise if they find out that the person who pushed the button was making a political statement.

I’d like to see the democrat administration of HI receive the criticism they deserve, and lose their a$$es in a lawsuit. But it won’t happen. They are dems, and will be protected by the media, which will blame it all on Trump.

I have no doubt that military is reviewing that very intensely.

The NRO / Air Force’s Space Command (if that still exists) would know it’s all fake because the detectors would have gone.......hang on.....ballistic.

The sensors in the geosynch birds would have detected the heat signature(s). Nobody will react if those don’t pick up anything. Not to mention other devices on ships / equipment we probably have stationed in the area. The birds looking down, the other assets looking at the NK horizon.

The MSM’s cover story now is that since Trump was on the golf course when it happened, he wasn’t able to launch the counter attack on tNorks.

Had he been in his office watching Fox News, he surely would have reacted by pressing his big button, you know.

This is pretty much what some CNN guy (Jake Tapper?) said this morning.
