Yup.
So this story has moved from “It was an accident” to “I made a mistake.” When will he finally admit that he did it deliberately?
Sorry but from all indications he is incompetent and a serial dumbass.
Yeah, devastated that his nefarious ploy to start a war didn’t work.
I thought this was supposed to have been a mistake, hit the wrong button. Now the ner-du-ell has been a low performer all along?
“His supervisors counseled him but kept him for a decade in a position that had to be renewed each year.”
THERE IT IS. The bosses reason why it wasnt the bosses fault.
Well, the good news is that they found out an actual alert works. ;-)
Well then they weren't really superiors then, now were they?
They seem like incompetent supervisors that should be removed from their positions as well.
Did he bother to explain why he wouldn’t talk to the FCC then?
article doesn’t mention something I read elsewhere, that this man allegedly didn’t cooperate with investigators
Affirmative Action hire? Maybe?
The man’s superiors said they knew for years that he had
problems performing his job.

That tells me that some others should be looking for new jobs.
I was a Command & Control Specialist for 24 years in the USAF. Most of that time I was as a member of Two Man Emergency Actions Team in Command Post/Command Centers. I recall events where alert messages were accidently upchanneled all the way to the situation room in the White House because a controller failed to enter “Exercise Exercise Exercise” in the message header/preamble. It surprises me that Hawaii EA procedures allow a single individual the ability to transmit an alert message. I would suggest that management is as much or more at fault for failing to see the need for a second individual to confirm that the action being taken is appropriate.
Hundreds of thousands of citizens in terror for over 30 minutes because of this, but no one loses their job.
Really?
Incompetent for years and they just put up with him, like illiterate kids being passed from grade to grade in school. I bet he’s on heavy psych drugs and should never have been in that role.
I disagree. The last time Hawaii second guessed a threat was Dec 7, 1941.
Devastated that the trick didn’t work and Trump didn’t launch on the Norks, depriving the party of Mad Max beyond the Capital dome the impeachment they so desperately want!
If no one else will, I will: it was a mistake; no one died; no one was injured; you are forgive.
Really?
Someone post his voting record and history of donations. I have my suspicions.
