Hawaii Gov. David Ige explained Monday that not knowing his own Twitter password contributed to the delay notifying the people of Hawaii that the ballistic missile alert they received on Jan. 13 was a false alarm.
Ige told reporters Monday part of the 38-minute delay was due to the fact that he did not know his Twitter password, the Honolulu Star Advertiser reported.
On Jan. 13, Hawaiians received an alert on their phone and televisions warning of an inbound ballistic missile. Thirty-eight minutes later, it was revealed to be a false alarm, which Ige has previously said was sent because someone “pushed the wrong button” and that the mistake occurred during an employee shift change.
Hawaii Emergency Management Agency administrator Vern Miyagi claimed responsibility for erroneously sending out the alert and called for reforms such as designating one person to send out alerts and equipment changes. He also acknowledged the importance of a full investigation.
Ige expressed similar sentiments concerning an investigation.
"While I am thankful this morning’s alert was a false alarm, the public must have confidence in our emergency alert system. I am working to get to the bottom of this so we can prevent an error of this type in the future," Ige said in a statement.
It took 9 days to come up with this baloney?
How stupid do they think we are.
Are you sure that you don’t mean the one taking the picture?:-)
.
No one in SK, Japan, Guam was in the loop,
Just Gov Ige and Twitter
And some UnNamed jackass in a bunker at Pearl Harbor.
They think we are fools, and it’s blowing up in their faces.
Even the idiots are asking questions.
I think this really was their plan:
I’ve heard speculation that the false alarm was a deliberate attempt to provoke Trump into pushing his big button and thereby start a nuclear war so he could then be impeached.
Hey, it would make perfect sense to a liberal!
This is probably why they waited for FEMA to “give them permission” to cancel the alert. They wanted to make double dammed sure Trump was in the loop and give him time to mash the button...
The Gov is applying for an airport greeter position.
That's of course their next move.
Environmental regulations were always the way they would try to stop the wall, in my opinion. Trump has just struck at their best strategy. Let's see how long this drags out. I expect they will try to drag it out until the midterms. They are betting on taking back the house so they can block everything.
I'm a retard. Don't listen to me.
His TWITTER password?
Schumer and the Dems realized today that their position was illegal aliens over American Citizens
These people can not even hold the base
They sound like liars to the most ardent believers
His PR people worked overtime to come up with that excuse.
Well, "we" did elect obama twice, how smart are "we"?
If I had been there when the false alert happened, I wouldn’t have been worried. I know that we’ve got a President that will kick some major ass.
Did you say sumpin? I wasn’t listening...
lol
Um, yes.
How can I know who’s taking the picture?
It’s the people in the picture that I’m interested in.
Twitter Command , the most secure command ever ,ah what’s my password . I bet his password will be “password1”
If you are as dumb and incompetent as this Governor.....
You must be a democrat.....
Life is tough when your defense from accusations of not caring is that you are stupid.
