A Civil Defense employee is set to be retrained after a shocking blunder on Saturday morning, when a mistaken alert warning of an inbound ballistic missile sent thousands fleeing for shelter.

The false alarm was caused by a Hawaii Emergency Management Agency employee who 'pushed the wrong buttons' during an internal drill timed to coincide with a shift handover at 8.07am. The all-clear phone alert was not sent until 38 minutes later.

Imagine waking up to that on your phone. You'd be calling all your lived ones to get home so you can see them one last time lol. I wondered too if the person who sent that message got sacked. What were they thinking? Did they even call 5he defence force to confirm.
