FULL TITLE: Who pushed the button? Anger in Hawaii over Civil Defense bungle that told terrified islanders a MISSILE was rocketing towards them causing thousands to flee to bomb shelters and pray for their lives
Anger is spreading in Hawaii after a Civil Defense bungle on Saturday morning, when a mistaken alert warning of an inbound ballistic missile sent thousands fleeing for shelter.
Panicked Hawaiians ran for their lives and even lowered loved ones through manhole covers after receiving the alert at 8.07am local time.
It read: 'BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL'.
A similar message flashed up on local television networks and brought live sports games to a halt. Actor Jim Carrey, like many others, said he woke up thinking he had 'ten minutes to live'.
The false alarm was caused by a Hawaii Emergency Management Agency employee who 'pushed the wrong buttons' during an internal drill timed to coincide with a shift handover.
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.
'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.
Miyagi, a retired Army major general, said the employee had been with the agency for 'a while' and that he would be 'counseled and drilled so this never happens again' - but stopped short of saying whether there would be disciplinary measures.

To where?
“Assuming it was a physical button, why no protective cover?”
Exactly. I cannot believe it’s just some button or switch among others.
Stuff like this is designed to be done foolproof. A sequence of several buttons or switches would be my guess.
This was no accident by some guy accidentally flipping one wrong switch.

New Q posts dropping tonight (1/13/18)
12 presidents have tried to do something about North Korea, and have basically kicked this can down the road. It is interesting that Tulsi suddenly think that Trump is the cause of this and why isn’t he stopping it. 67 years of past diplomacy has gained us nothing. So let’s blame it entirely on Trump LOL
All I can chalk it up to is political talk. I wonder if she even means it.
That’s exactly what this is.
Anyone thinking it’s anything other than a deranged leftard causing mayhem for the specific purpose of having it blamed on Trump, I have to wonder what planet they live on.
The Russian dossier scam has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that there is no low they won’t go to. Crying wolf is their stock in trade, so this fits the pattern perfectly.
