'This guy feels bad, right. He's not doing this on purpose - it was a mistake on his part and he feels terrible about it,' said EMA Administrator Vern Miyagi in a press conference Saturday afternoon. Horseshit!

Well, he’ll never make that mistake again...
To: Morgana
So, the next time it gets pushed when it really counts, will anyone pay attention to the warnings?

Israelis have to do this on a regular basis. Maybe some liberals (unlikely) will understand the fear people live with everyday in Israel and why they go after the scum in Gaza.

Maybe they’ll come with a) a better system (more dummy proof) and b) a better shelter system.
Who knows?
These folks were in a panic, today....understandably so.

Incredibly, officials said the employee who made the mistake wasn't aware of it until mobile phones in the command center began displaying the alert. Thirty-five minutes later?
Or did it take them thirty-five minutes to send out the all-clear message?

Maybe Hawaiians are night owls and sleep late weekends.. maybe only 10% of the pop even noticed the warning.

A shift change from the graveyard shift to morning shift? Sounds like a shift-hole.

I’d be willing too put a ten-spot on who CNN and the WaPo will pin the blame.

It take 2 officers to turn the missile key to launch a Minuteman III missile, yet it only takes one person to bump a button to freak an entire state out. I don’t blame the person. Any person can make a mistake. I blame a government that doesn’t consider the implications when they design an emergency management system. Shades of the Healthcare website roll-out.
