Residents and visitors of the state of Hawaii got a rare opportunity to consider their mortality and life choices after a nuclear false alarm rocked the state on Saturday. The alarm, officially the result of someone clicking the wrong option on a drop-down menu, terrified many.

That’ll teach you to know something. As far as shooting it down, I think we need some more gear.

Tree?
Who in the Hell goes on vacation and takes their smartphone along? Probably the same king of people that put katsup on hot dogs
Mine was orange and white.
The truck, not the girl.
She was blonde.
More than likely the Lak’anookie’s will put in a 3 step “alert” verification process approved only by committee to preclude any timely warning at all ........
How do you test with people as lab rats?
Probably an actual truck too instead of a Ranchero. LOL.
You should have gone to your safe room! Geez, Louise.
“Just as an aside, if you get the alert, depending on how quick it is, you may have time to brush your teeth and kiss the kids good bye. “
They should include a little graphic or emoticon thing based on the estimated time of arrival. Like 1-2-3-4 cans of beer.
