Probably a North Korean Agent.
Disgruntled Trump/military hater, did it on purpose.
Similar to the fake church burnings, etc.
I bet money on it that it’s a stupid libtard anti-Trump moron.
There is no ‘button’... there is a complex series of steps that you have to take.
Loretta Fuddy may soon come to say “Aloha”.
The person gave a statement. If the feds want more discussion that can only be to try to lock someone up. A smart person wouldn’t discuss it anymore with a fed.
Yep, likely intentional.
Its the only scenario that makes sense.
We were in Maui at the time and my first reaction was to seek verification via national news, since Hawaii doesn’t have it’s own launch detection system.
Finding none, and having been in the business for 45 years, I reasoned, NK has now guidance system with which to target and no re-entry system for any warhead.
So, when the family finally got all together, I told them this was BS....yet they were not consoled.
Test run? No, this system was simply a warning message for the civilian population on the island. There was no detected missile, so we had no actual inbound missile response. The military would have known and already been responding were there an actual inbound missile regardless of this warning message.
Perhaps he didn’t buy in to the way they tried to spin it.
From Powerline:
Here is a wild guess: the employee who “pushed the wrong button” is a fanatical anti-Trump Democrat who believed that causing hysteria over a presumed North Korean missile attack would somehow make the president look bad. If that guess is incorrect, maybe the anonymous employee should start cooperating with the investigation.
“not cooperating with the investigation”?
Who cares? They can pull up the OMI on their screen, see that the two buttons are next to each other. He already said he pushed the wrong one, and ignored the warning about “are you sure”. What more do they need to know?
Sometimes, we just overinvestigate the wrong things.
Of course, the government doesn’t want to investigate the REAL problem, which is the entire system — why did they do an OMI like that? Why was one worker able to send out such a distress notice? Why couldn’t they rescind it quickly, as multiple people knew it was not right?
Why don’t they have a system in place for the test? I mean, they KNEW the test went off at a set time, what was the chance that an actual attack was going to be alerted at the PRECISE time a test was going to be run?
Why did the governor need a working cell phone to intervene? Why didn’t he have one? Why did the news media, which can tell us in 30 seconds how “wrong” a pronouncement is from a presidential tweet, take so long to realize the alert was a test?
No, let’s all get worked up because the guy who pushed the wrong button, who was already fired, has decided he doesn’t like being the scapegaot any more.
if they pushed the wrong button, they pushed the wrong button.
I’m always in for a good conspiracy. . .like the alarm was sent because Norks launched a nuke missile at Hawaii and it failed in flight and fell harmlessly into the Pacific Ocean. . .yeah, that’s the ticket, that’s what happened and because there is no proof that it happened, that is proof of a conspiracy and cover-up.
Just reported. He’s been fired. He did it on purpose.
