About five minutes after the alert was sent, an employee told the worker who sent the missile message to cancel it so that it would no longer transmit to phone. But the worker who triggered the alert “just sat there and didn’t respond.”
The state worker who sent the alert has at least twice before believed drills to be real-world events.
Those two incidents included a “fire incident and a tsunami incident,” officials said.
Further, the state worker had been a concern to “state warning point” employees for more than a decade and that his performance “has been counseled and documented.”
