"Inbound missile" warning issued for Hawaii......then "oops"
Terrifying for a brief time obviously.
Quote:
Everyone had their phones. Everyone received the same push alert.
"BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."
"People were crawling under tables and hiding," she said, "and going into buildings that looked more sturdy."

The push alert turned out to be a mistake. Hawaii House Speaker Scott Saiki said someone pushed the wrong button, sending an alert to cellphone users across the islands warning of them of an impending missile strike. Cindy McMillan, a spokeswoman for Gov. David Ige, told The Associated Press that the alert was human error, but she didn't have further details.
