I noticed that immediately Hawaii congresspeople and many others blamed Trump and his handling of North Korea for the panic. Almost made me look for some tin foil.
To: Menehune56
When I first heard of this, I thought it might be a prank as a way to test Trump. My opinion gradually changed when I saw a screen shot of the menu, which I had to admit, could cause an accidental alarm if the operator was not careful. But now with four people losing their jobs, I might be back to the deliberate false alarm theory.

The worker, who was fired Friday and whose name has not been revealed, has confused real-life events and drills in the past, the state said in a report. His poor performance has been documented for years, and other members of the team say they were not comfortable working with him in any role. We were initially told it was a "glitch". It's a human error. It's almost always a human error.

If the lower levels are fired (or prosecuted) for following orders from upper level political overseers, the problem will self correct.

I call BS on this revised story. This moron somehow thought he could get the blame laid off onto Trump. Thats why he planned and executed the warning.

Maybe just another ISIS dry run...

"There were no procedures in place to prevent a single person from mistakenly sending a missile alert" in Hawaii, Incredible!

Just imagine say offhand about 20 years ago when having a cellphone was more of a luxury instead of an addictive social communications tracker.
Even if the sirens went off it wouldn’t really have created a panic.
I say just turn off the incoming missile warning, keep the tsunami and others.
Just take care of the problem instead of buildin bandaid factories and offended snowflake recuperating societies.

Yes, when the guy started stonewalling, it was clear that it wasn’t an accident.

Gee, that didn't take long. I'm sure there'll be plenty of coverage too. Thanks Menehune56.
