Good thing it wasn’t The Button.

I guess Trump did not believe it. It only takes a few seconds to retaliate.

This fits right in with the overall incompetence that is rampant in West Coast states and the bureaucracies that govern them. They play fast and loose every day with your lives.

What was done by pushing the wrong button can easily be done by some computer hacker in NoKo. Has that ever been considered?

Launch a missile and follow it up with the message that it is all a false alarm. Nice.

That seems very unlikely.

If nothing was happening why was any button being pushed? Is the “everything is ok” button right next to the “incoming missile” button?

There is more to this.

Well, I imagine CNN will report this as Trump playing around with nuclear weapons.

Imagine setting up a warning system this important, yet so lax, that it would even be possible for more than one or two people on staff to activate it.

Imagine that it didn’t have a plastic cover over it, that would have to be flipped before activating it, just sitting there where folks could bump it, activating it by accident.

This is evidence of mind-numbing stupidity.

My father was one of the persons who activated the Los Angeles County-wide warning system during part the cold war. It took one person to do it. One Friday per month, the system was tested to make sure it was in working order. We’d hear the sirens clear across Los Angeles County.

For that period, I knew my father was the person who flipped the switch.

My Theory: it was hacked, it took 38 minutes to regain control and issue the all clear.
