'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!

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.

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?

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

Nothing like it seemingly happening for real to make believers out of people. Gets people thinking of what they really need to do.

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.

Isn’t it interesting that a certain politician can skate on the deliberate mishandling of classified government documents and everybody saw it (albeit after the fact), and yet we’re prepared to crucify some anonymous public employee in the Hawaii EMS who issued an alert over a poorly designed broadcast system? (No single individual should have the ability to issue an alert like this) This country is going bonkers.

Hawaii is still lying about Dorkbama the muslim eunuch quota boy.
So much for any indication of competency in their leadership.
And they still think any of us with experience in layering believes that silly excuse for a birth certificate.
But hey, what do we know? We’ve only got actual STEM experience. We’re not nearly as smart as politicians.

Interesting that the first wave of planes attacked Pearl Harbor at 7:55 a.m. Hawaiian time and this alarm went out at 8:05 a.m. Would have been more suspicious if the alarm had gone out tomorrow (Sunday) and ten minutes earlier.

Jim Carrey pooped his drawers. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger douchbag.

If SBX is sitting in the harbor, they could rig it up with the local tv station and let the people watch the missiles come in.

Wonder how many people tuned their radios to 640 1240 CONELRAD?

Who pushed the button?

It was the Deputy Assistant to the Director of Emergency Button Pushing. He makes $420K/year and has decided to retire (at age 35, full pension of course) to spend more time with his family. He regrets that he allowed Trump's vile remarks rattle him so much that he made a mistake.

Assuming it was a physical button, why no protective cover?

Ok I have a question because I honestly don’t know the answer..but in Hawaii, is it required that all apartments, condos, homes, etc have bunkers? Because in Israel it is required before you build any kind of home that a bunker be installed. In Israel false alarms occur on a daily basis you hear the alarm go off, you go into the bunker, when they give you the all clear you can come out. I would think that a state that unfortunately can be hit by North Korea that a bunker would not be a requirement for new and even older homes
