That's all, just the headline, but it's up on the UK's Daily Express too.

The real thing would read:

EXTREME ALERT
BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII
BEND OVER AND KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE
THIS IS NOT A DRILL

“Missile alert in error. But why are you driving, and not in your basement right now?”

We’re supposed to go this year but having second thoughts. We were stationed at pearl sub base and love to go back and stay at Hale koa when we can. Now....

Noooooooo, an incoming missile to Hawaii can’t come from Hawaii...

Our Aegis system could have knocked it out ( or whatever great superior defense systems we have and none of us know about ) .

Maybe it did...maybe it didn’t and maybe admiral Greer was never there...

This is fishy. I am from Hawaii, and this has never happened before. Civil Defense Alert testing is done at the beginning of the month, not the middle. I also read it took an hour to stop the alert. Something is going on.....

Coinciding with uranium one indictments happening now, and upcoming IG drop of review of FBI and doj. I would expect a whole lot of manufacturer distractions over the next week.

Exactly

They may be so desperate....who knows what they’d do. God protect us.

I was thinking that too.

ouch

And you don’t want to be under a bridge. During the Reagan years they determined that many bridges would fall. As I understand it, sensors were installed in some to detect just that, to indicate an event had happened.

Maybe that’s just just an urban legend from then...

I was outside a coffee shop this morning and the mom was on the phone - I could tell she was panicked. It was 10am here in Seattle. I thought I hear her say the word “missile” but figured I must have heard wrong. I guess not. Asian gal, so perhaps was calling her family in Hawaii.

“I love you too - now put Daddy on the phone. No - it will be okay - your safe - I love you - now put Daddy on the phone! Okay - I know - but you need to go get Daddy RIGHT now!”

Scary stuff for her and her family.

ME? I had no clue, and thought she was dealing with her own little family crisis.

Reminds me of the book “Robinson Crueso” where he is on the island alone and is free and easy, finding enough food, setting up a camp, etc. It was a year or two of that as I recall. Then he goes exploring and sees the footprints on the beach on the other side of the island.

He freaks out - what if they are head hunters, etc. He then builds a fortress around his camp, only ventures out at night and hides during the day for another two years or something living in fear.

He comes out of that stage at some point. Says something about how it was Providence that allowed him those first few years of peace. And how it is Providential in life on how many times we are so close to harm but don’t even recognize it, so we still go about our lives. I think of that once in awhile on the road. Except I guess I DO know how close I am to one idiot driver with their cat in their lap or chatting with their passenger and not paying attention and they are two feet from me going 70 mph.

Yes, I believe we could see anything.

Prayers up for protection of our nation and our President during these difficult Democrat Coup times.

Godspeed to those protecting him and our nation.

A TON of sigint recon was given to the enemy on a silver platter with this.

Bridge might collapse, but it might also protect you from the flash and some of the immediate direct radiation.

There are a lot of things going on in Hawaii...state and local officials are testing sirens and other warning systems and holding drills, seems someone likely pushed the wrong button this morning.

Hawaii has been named as a threat by North Korea, I am sure people there are at least somewhat on edge...well after what happened this morning with the alert I am pretty sure most people in Hawaii are on edge.

I am sure glad our media is keeping us informed about all the other things going on in the world, and not getting sidetracked worrying about the President using inappropriate language during a private meeting...

Half my family live in Hawaii. This was terrifying for them. I would like to know what agency made this colossal blunder.

I think people would probably try that, given the usual response to storms. The over-pressure would likely collapse it though. For some distance away from ground zero.

Not a lot of good choices unless one can afford a stocked bomb shelter. And even then...

And I also mean the shock wave spreading out from ground zero.
