No way the state and/or fed authorities in Hawaii did this intentionally. And there's no way someone accidentally sends out a "we're under attack" tweet. This had to be one of 2 things: a hack or a rogue employee.

It wasn't a tweet. It was an emergency alert.

Which is way worse - because it's not just going out to people who are following a specific twitter account - but, an alert showing up on every phone in Hawaii.

True. I said 'tweet' when should have said 'text'..

No need to panic over North Korea. All we have to do is load up a plane with bird seed and then drop it on all the pigeons carrying the warhead and then they'll all fly in different directions and the warhead will fall in the ocean.

Given that a real alert is tied to military EW systems - Trump would have known it was a false alarm sooner than the medium that sent the alert

This whole thing was worth it just to see video of people prying off manhole covers and throwing babies down in them.

Don't try to blame this one on Trump, asshole; he's got at least a hundred people that will swear he was on the golf course and nowhere near Hawaii at the time. :tothehand:


He couldn't even find Hawaii on a map, let alone aim the missile.. :ohno:
