Andrew Knight My question is what is your evidence for this claim??? You guys make these claims but you don’t back it up with evidence so.... let’s see it
@Andrew Knight Dude. Why would they incite mass hysteria in the streets instead of just providing the public with information on proper procedures and locations and running proper drills of sorts. Lol I promise you all the lawsuits the state is going to be faced with now weren't worth 'gauging' what is very predictable public terror. As someone who was on Pearl Harbor at the time I can assure you this isn't some conspiracy and yesterday was Hell for us all, the fucker who pushed the button included.
Hawaii is fairly chill .....just think if this happened in NYC ..............people would go mad I'm sorry you all had to go thru that but look at it as a new lease on life and change the things you want to change before its too late
@@sinaimaldonado8688 they would probably have ww2 bunkers there. Yep. This would be 10x as worse since there’s like no bunkers there. Especially for the people who are driving in the middle of nowhere or if they’re on islands.
I remember as it was happening we were at the airport about to board our flight and when the alarms sounded everyone paniked someone tried to buy our tickets for 5000 dollars and after 10 mins boarding opend and we boarded safely but after that we saw people scattering into their private planes and people scrambling to buy plane tickets or flights
Look for "A Little Peace and Quiet" 1st episode of the New Twilight Zone (1985) and the last 10 minutes of the movie "Miracle Mile". Man's insanity toward Man.
AK47 All day Every day the government would not secretly fight a war on a nuclear threat level They would rather tell u so they can have u throw away your lives fighting for their safety
It happened in Honolulu before. In July/August 2017 I remember the alarm going off while I was in a car. At first I thought it was an earthquake or tsunami drill, but I realized a second after that it was a North Korean test alarm. My mom was crying the whole way through, explaining to my sisters of the danger...
I was there, it was fucked up and terrifying. Imagine knowing that you are about to die and that none of your calls to your loved ones go through. Thank god it was a false alarm
It was meant to be a drill of sorts in a controlled setting. They were testing the warning alerts and accidentally sent them out everywhere instead of the tower they were trying to send it to. Which also helps explain why it wasn't immediately corrected.
My parents and I didn't get the message at all.. And I was pretty much asleep the whole time. But damn, seriously? Accidentally clicked the wrong button? I don't even know what to say..
Reminds me of the episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" where he said his dad can sleep through anything, then it goes to a flashback of him sleeping while the house is on fire and the firemen break down the door shouting for him to wake up, they even hose him but he still stays asleep XD
OpenGL4ever I'm not the only one who didn't receive the message though.. There's been a lot of people who were asking around on Reddit too. Some guy contacted their phone company and asked for an explanation, to only get something very vague. And I don't think you get what I mean..I had my phone open the entire time, wasn't silent at all. It's not like I didn't hear the message, it's that I didn't get one at all.
As i said before, you don't seem to have one of these alarm sirens in your neighborhood. Watch this: /watch?v=glzfb9YBTY8 If you don't have one of these, you should ask your district authority to install one of them. That's what i said, nothing more, nothing less.
I was starting work that day. When that happened, I literally went out and looked up in the sky. Calm as I ever been that day and cuz I was half awake and half asleep xD
Seek shelter? Where? Take shelter in your hotel rooms? If it wasn't a hoax, there would be no hotels standing. And some people think it was funny? Maybe people should watch a documentary on Hiroshima if they think the hoax or hack or incompetence or whatever it was, was funny.
Here is something to really think about: How about the fact that the alert was issued because NORAD was tracking an inbound missile with a trajectory of Oahu? This alert was NOT issued by mistake. They have redundancies built into the system so something like this never happens. Chances are, the missile had no warhead, and was only a test vehicle launched by either the Russians or the Chinese to test our defenses. The missile fell short of Hawaii. Emergency management wants people to calm down and not panic, so they are saying someone pushed the wrong button. That's impossible, it's not that easy.
Except every country in the world, many with opposing interest to those of the United States, would have to also lie about such an attack since there are numerous countries who would be capable of detecting a missile launch like that, chief among them being China. No. As someone who lives in Hawaii I can assure you that simple incompetence of that state government is far, far more likely.
Truth Be Told i think the same. Probably a very cruel kind of experiment, kind of a drill. I don't believe the human mistake excuse, nor the theory of an actual missile.
It wasn't an accident. They are gauging the public and their response which means that the higher ups are looking at this as an inevitability or at least extreme likelihood. This doesn't happen by accident sorry to say.
I had that same thought. That it could possibly be to gauge how the response would be. But still, I prayed and we were spared this time. Great eye opener for how we can prepare for future events. We may not be able to control our environment with missiles, etc. But we can control how we behave and respond. In all the chaos -- I'm going to "love others" and help those in need. Be blessed everyone! We live another day...
But what if somebody decided to murder somebody they hate? They thought "We are all going to be dead anyway, I should spend my last minutes stabbing someone I hate?" I think in such case they should not be arrested or tried for murder. That's how James Grider would think and feel. People should buy my "Impact" a James Grider novel on Amazon so I can afford a used car. It would be nice to look sexy like that 15 year old boy in the beginning of the video and then to have ceased physically developing past that stage.
Hawaiians were truly frightened. . However,, HAWAII JUST GOT A TASTE OF WHAT IT has to be like FOR REFUGEES around the world, WHO LIVE WITH THIS FEAR DAILY, AND NO PLACE TO RUN to. , Bombs falling, children dying ,families torn apart , unimaginable suffering and horror. Time to open your heart to compassion- understanding and healing.
This was no false alarm! The system has 5 fail safes operated by 5 different ppl. This was intentional and allowed to continue for as long as possible.
The government sent the warning out ON PURPOSE as a "Test" to see how people react. Where they go, what they buy, Etc. I feel that justice should be served to the men who caused thousands of people to panic. I wonder how many car accidents there were when this happened with people trying to race home or to a safe place. And i am willing to bet that people were probably killed in all this chaos., All because the world leaders want to conduct a "Test" on unsuspecting citizens. If people think this was an accident then they need to wake up. I guess it was an "Accident" that the exact same thing happened in Japan RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED IN HAWAII.
John Smith tell me, what use would testing this have on anyone. Well, now we know what people do right before they’re about to be nuked...interesting...
That last guy was a real genius. The emergency alert will have it before CNN dufus. "There has to be somewhere online with all the answers" There is; the emergency alert system. The "somewhere online" is just as liable to have accidental false info as the emergency alert system
This is gonna end up like the boy who cried wolf and when there actually is a strike a lot of people will roll their eyes, not be as serious, not be as safe e.t.c
Let me correct my self: "Yes the buildings may survive but the people in them will not. do not forget that the heat from a nuclear explosion is the same exact heat felt on the surface of the sun.
Yes, a building made of concrete can shield you from the radiation, the blast, and the heat. It all depends on where you are in the building, and how far away the blast is.
Getting indoors quickly can save your life. Most deaths will not be due to a direct strike, but due to peripheral damage and radiation which a building can shield you from. Once inside, stay indoors for at least 24 hours after the strike to avoid radiation exposure. Stay in the center of the building away from windows, preferably either underground, in a basement, or in the upper stories of a tall structure.
Buildings are the worst place to enter during a ballistic missile strike....Best options are underground basements, manholes, caves(if you live near a forest) and enclosed bunkers...
Einar Gissurarson no it wasnt. not for awhile. WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO and hear it from a Hawaii native say it himself. thats where i took that quote from.
I know you took that quote from the video. The guy was talking in the context that he was frustrated that he couldn't read up any details about an incoming attack, after getting that message. The CNN had nothing on it because there was no attack. Some dude accidentally pushed a button, that sent out that message and caused a panic. But that still doesn't explain what you're going at, with your "could not have said it better myself." What do you want from CNN?
+ Einar Gissurarson What he is actually saying is that CNN was not even equipped to notice that false alarm. Yes the alarm was false but CNN didn't report it as false either.
I'm pretty sure those text messages sent to phones, radio, TV channels are from the government.. And during that alert people can't access any other feature on their phone/TV
"stay in your hotel room" like wtf is that gonna do. Have you seen the aftermath of hiroshima? It'll literally decimate like almost all structures, you're little crappy hotel won't protect you. Fortunately, this was a false alarm. Man I would be out of that hotel and siwmming to the middle of the ocean and goind underwater as I see the missle hit land
This isn't the first time this has happened i believe that thi was no accident it must have been a hacker or sending these false reports... but just like the boy who cried wolf we're not gonna believe these high priority ⚠️Alert reports. Tho we all should always be prepared if worse comes to worse.
Imagine a nuclear strike on an island that you can't leave in a hurry. Only by boat or plane and where are you going to go? I love this shit...watching people lose their minds when they realize they have given absolutely no thought to their personal safety.
This is awful, and it could not have been a mistake...unless there was a hack. I can't even imagine how I would have felt had I been there in Hawaii. Those poor people!
Just shows how badly prepared for such a scenario. Poor planing makes for... Evidence showed they will Be susceptible to any disaster That might befall them
Why run? If it was a nuclear tipped missile where would you run to? Hiding in a storm drain won't help. You are either dead or you aren't. You can't act until you know what happens in this instance.
Same and also was sleepy from that quake that happened a few years back. Not sure if you guys remembered the rumbling from the volcano thing. I was literally sleeping on an inflatable air bed so I didn't feel anything xD
Woke my dad up and he said "they'll shoot it down" and went back to sleep. I put my dogs inside and thought "guess I'll just die then" and just chilled with m dogs for our last minutes.
oh well, I guess a message sent in error about a nuclear attack, is better than an actual nuclear attack sent by accident.

Anyone remember that episode of Twilight Zone called "The Shelter"? Today we saw the modern equivalent of that episode.
MST3Killa yes, one of my favorite episodes. Did they see the future?? We need to be careful as a country.
This incident would make a great Black Mirror episode.
There'd need to be some rioting for this to be like The Shelter.
Well, considerably less violent and desperate than "The Shelter".

Wow dude... Chris Hemsworth really spoke some truth at the end there.
Totally Indifferent
And they silenced the rest of what he said.
The actual alert system never had a "Hey, you're gonna cause a state-wide panic, you sure you wanna do that?" message.
Omg I was crying so much this morning. I got the exact same text and I was so terrified I couldn’t breath for 5 minutes without it hurting
Their descriptions gives me literal chills
Not for one minute do I believe this was an accident!

One thing is very clear:
Nobody knows what to do exactly, including me.
It's just pure chaos!
Hiding in basements and climbing down manholes will not protect you from a nuclear missle when you're at or near ground zero.
no building can shield you from a nuke
Yes it can. It depends on the distance from the blast and the yield of the blast.
Let me correct my self: "Yes the buildings may survive but the people in them will not. do not forget that the heat from a nuclear explosion is the same exact heat felt on the surface of the sun.
Yes, a building made of concrete can shield you from the radiation, the blast, and the heat. It all depends on where you are in the building, and how far away the blast is.
Reminds me of the rule of "The 6 P's" : Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance!
How can it come down to ONE MAN, ONE BUTTON, ONE DECISION?
Utterly ridiculous.
Possible missile threat and the hotel manager says stay in your room. I'd rather take my chances finding more appropriate shelter.
Getting indoors quickly can save your life. Most deaths will not be due to a direct strike, but due to peripheral damage and radiation which a building can shield you from. Once inside, stay indoors for at least 24 hours after the strike to avoid radiation exposure. Stay in the center of the building away from windows, preferably either underground, in a basement, or in the upper stories of a tall structure.
Nah I’ll go play outside
My step dads grandma lives in a place and stuff and nobody bothered to help them. Like literally they left her and everybody else

Just so what? should he have checking fox and friends instead? Lmao they would be saying North Koreans and Aliens are attacking .
hawaii resident here. i was checking CNN too. it was Facebook that i foundout was false alarm after someone posted Tulsi Gabbard's tweet
I'm pretty sure those text messages sent to phones, radio, TV channels are from the government.. And during that alert people can't access any other feature on their phone/TV
Someone says that going to the train subway is safer. Is that right?
they failed the test, period
Stay in your rooms? Fail. Go to the ice room or stairwell. The closer to the middle of the building the better.
Why only waikiki where all the tourist at, why not Kalihi or Aiea or where the rest of the locals are at?
Kalihi would look the same even after a nuclear attack

Its not a warning at all, its a premonition of what to come, scary times.
Lucky nobody was killed by accident. This is on the government, not one person.
If this alert happened in the south everyone would be stealing Jordans 😂😂😂😂😂
And in the amount of time it took to get out that it was a mistake, the missile could have made it to Hawaii.
Plot twist they rang the alarm to rob a bank or something to get emergency services to not be able to see. Maybe a musem lol
Just shows how badly prepared for such a scenario.
Poor planing makes for...
Evidence showed they will
Be susceptible to any disaster
That might befall them
Why run? If it was a nuclear tipped missile where would you run to? Hiding in a storm drain won't help. You are either dead or you aren't. You can't act until you know what happens in this instance.
Aussies like "she'll be right mate"
IDK who the guy was who accidentally hit the missile button but around the office his nickname should be chicken little!
I can imagine how the leader of North Korea was laughing when he saw this video. HAHAHAHA. LOL.
He is not laughing, he is shitting his pants. The text was no mistake, it was a test to see how civilians responded to an inbound threat.
I slept in the break room at work
It was a "test" to build up the already -massive U.S. armory and then look for as excuse to bomb North Korea. I'm sure Kim was not amused.
What's fucked up is when a real one comes no one will take it seriously
you're on to something
bruh I wasent even scared cuz i was tired
Neither was I, I was sitting calmly in the break room at work watching people panic
ben so tired that you forgot how to spell?
I was asleep. Phone was on silent woke up to a message saying missle inbound then another saying false alarm. I wouldve died in my sleep.
Same and also was sleepy from that quake that happened a few years back. Not sure if you guys remembered the rumbling from the volcano thing. I was literally sleeping on an inflatable air bed so I didn't feel anything xD
Woke my dad up and he said "they'll shoot it down" and went back to sleep. I put my dogs inside and thought "guess I'll just die then" and just chilled with m dogs for our last minutes.
Overpriced tourist trap. We should have abandoned it after the war.
Groot pushed the wrong button
I would have gone swimming and surfed back to the West Coast.
I would run like hell.. to the closest bar...
Evacuate now....never mind, stay there sheeple it is only a drill -this time.
I wonder how many guys got friend zoned after it was over
People need to take this stuff serious. Yes this was a false alarm but it could have been real.
