Now, it is Japan's turn to employ the false alarm. http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/16/asia/japan-false-missile-alarm-intl/index.html Next false alarm should happen in South Korea. Some people just hate peace.
After the false missile alert in Hawaii on Saturday morning, a new image from government officials reveals how confusing the alert system is. Instead of pressing a button, operators of the alert system have to select a link on a list of choices with obscure names like “1. Test Message.” The option that the employee mistakenly clicked on was “PACOM (CDW) - State Only.” The link that should have been clicked on was similarly named “Drill - PACOM (CDW) - State Only.” I can't say I am surprised by this level of incompetence since I see it at work all the time. Man...look at that list. How does someone even organize it in that order? For goodness sake it's not even organized alphabetically.
Kim Jung-un may have won yacht races at age 9, but he has yet to come close to the accomplishments of his father. What has Trump done in comparison? If only Trump knew the power of the Juche Idea America would be as great as glorious worker's paradise DPRK.
https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/30/16952202/hawaii-false-ballistic-missile-alert Hawaii officials said Tuesday that they had fired the emergency management employee who sent a false ballistic missile alert earlier this month. The administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency has also resigned in the wake of the incident. The state released the details of its investigation into the incident, following an FCC report earlier today that included some overlapping details. The state’s report said “insufficient management controls, poor computer software design, and human factors” contributed to the false alert being sent, and that protocol changes have been made to prevent similar incidents in the future. State officials also revealed that the employee who was terminated on Friday “has performance issues,” and had confused drills with real-world events in at least two previous incidents. The report said colleagues had complained about such issues in the past. As the FCC said in its report released earlier today, the employee said in a statement that he believed there was a legitimate missile attack underway. The state’s report noted that statement, but also said several other employees present correctly heard that the drill was not a real attack.
