    Default False Missile Alert over Hawaii

    Hi All,

    My cousin received this alert and retraction a short time ago.

    Any thoughts ?

    Update...

    In a conversation with my cousin who lives there, I learned the alert should have stated that there was a missile test. All residents were tuned to their TV's waiting for MSM information. The information they received was that someone from the new emergency alert system sent the wrong message and that it was only a test.

    Also, he said very few were not in a panic but was not aware of any injuries.

    Hawaii gets false missile strike alert



    Published on 13 Jan 2018

    People in Hawaii received an emergency alert about an incoming ballistic missile,
    however Hawaii's Office of Emergency Management says there is no missile threat
    to the state.

    False alarm: No missile to hit Hawaii

    An emergency alert went out Saturday telling people to take shelter from an
    incoming ballistic missile. It was a false alarm.

    Hawaii sends out missile alert by mistake

    13th Jan 2018


    The message Hawaiians saw on their phones

    People across the US state of Hawaii received a text on Saturday morning, warning
    of an impending missile strike. It was declared a false alarm shortly afterwards, but
    not before panic started to spread.

    "Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a
    drill," read the message, all in capital letters.

    Hawaii Emergency Management Agency later confirmed there was no threat.

    In an online statement, Honolulu Police Department said: "State Warning Point has
    issued a Missile Alert in ERROR! There is NO threat to the State of Hawaii!"

    The Honolulu Star-Advertiser said emergency officials had mistakenly sent the
    message out by text at 08:07 (18:07 GMT) before correcting the error by email 18
    minutes later. There was no follow-up mobile text until 38 minutes after the original
    alert, it said.

    It was unclear how the initial mistake was made.

    Hi all, we had a scare this morning followed by a quick retraction. As soon as I got the alert I closed my shop and raced home, calling my family on the way. We get a good amount of alerts, hurricane and tsunami warnings but this is the first ballistic missile alert ever. You don’t joke around about that! Anyways all safe here. Someone is getting fired!

    Btw can you guys help direct me to any reports on how much time Hawaii has to prepare in the case of a real threat.

    Sad as the experience was for the people of Hawaii the event was very eye opening. We must not let the elite and powerful exclude citizens a way to survive. Other Countries are way ahead of protecting all of their citizens and we must as a country offer hope or least more than duck and cover and the sound of the real deal alarm. We know they have the tunnel boring equipment to build underground space in no time. It's time to consider the best way to protect the majority of citizens in the event of a nuclear missile. Also to have a better management protocol to avoid another false alarm without secondary verification.

    Guarantee the Pres will address the nation and this could be Trump's defining moment in time... Having stronger defensive protections in place from countries like N. Korea, Iran and other nations make's so much more sense than starting a war to protect oneself from the threat.

    Greetings Herve,

    I was just thinking and talking about the same thing here at the house.

    Also, I understand how ignorance could have played a part, but I feel this is a different type of ignorance.

    Agreed, some things are created to induce fear.

    I live in Hawaii and I got the alert this morning too. I was interested to observe my reaction, calm but a little freaked out. A friend texted that CNN was saying to stay in and away from windows. I think I have more windows than walls

    What was absent and telling was the local air siren warnings. It's about 1.5 miles away but can be heard from where I live.

    A friend is in the civil air defense and she is usually on top of these things. After about 15 min she texted me that it was false - which I knew as by then I had searched and found the message from Tulsi Gabbard, our senator. She had tweeted within about 7-8 min of the bulletin. The 38 min from the first bulletin to the second seems much longer than it should have been and I've been wondering why it took so long to send out the correction.

    When she had a town hall locally meeting last April she had mentioned that Hawaii was not ready to defend against a missile attack from NK. It was a project she had been working on but had little support for at that time.

    I'm thinking this is a deliberate message from our friends in the deep state to Mr Trump. It will be interesting to see how he responds. I hope to find out anyway...

    BTW, if there is any shelter for civilians I've never heard of it. Military and important people, yes. The commoners, I don't think so. The local military base is said to go pretty deep.

    CIANN has been covering this more than most and trying to guide the conversation
    to blame Trump. Tulsi Gabbard sees through this and makes some good points
    that this has been going on for decades reaching this current tension point
    with North Korea and due to the US regime change policies since 9/11 its not

    Gabbard: Missile false alarm unacceptable



    Published on 14 Jan 2018
    Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D_HI) says the false ballistic missile warning in Hawaii was
    "unacceptable" and points to a need for President Donald Trump to negotiate
    with North Korea directly.A false alarm in Hawaii warned people to seek shelter
    due to an inbound ballistic missile threat. State leaders and emergency officials
    said it was a false message, and Hawaii Gov. David Ige told CNN "an employee
    pushed the wrong button," causing the erroneous alert.

    Human error that triggered a false missile alert turned Hawaii upside down. People
    crawled under tables in cafes, were ushered into military hangars and huddled
    around televisions to watch the news for the latest developments.

    Hawaii Statewide 'Inbound Ballistic Missile Threat'
    Was a Beta Test to Gauge Realtime Citizen Panic



    Published on 14 Jan 2018

    'Emergency Alert: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII.
    SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL,' the terrifying message read.

    A very wild thought, so forgive me for airing it.

    I wonder if there's any slight possibility that it was actually real (i.e. that there really was a missile) — but that it was very quickly dealt with. And then hushed up to avoid escalation, or global instability not on the NWO agenda, or even a public demand for war.
