Just received a text on my phone about this in Manhattan. Has a large flashing red triangle with exclamation mark in it.
I have alerts turned OFF on my phone, by the way.
Emergency Alert: Extreme
WANTED: Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28-yr-old male. See media for pic. Call 9-1-1 if seen.
Anyway, I had an eerie experience on the train this morning. Just as we were entering the Harlem tunnel on the Metro North line, the Emergency Broadcast tone was heard throughout the entire train. I thought it was coming over the train loudspeaker but it was every single cellphone on the train that was making that sound along with the message about the manhunt for that Ahmad Khan Rahami scum. Pretty amazing that millions of people can receive such a message at the same exact time.
Oh yea, they know the danger.
