Missile threat in Hawai...

[gaby]

Could you believe that.....there was this morning a missile treat in Hawai asking people to go in shelters.....was not a drill.....38 MINUTES LATER ....no misile alert...it was an error...false alarm...WOW...Governor said..an employee pushed the wrong buttom....WOW.
Could you imagine those 38 minutes de panique et d'horreur auprès de la population....incredible....incredible and BIG BIG ERROR. Hopefully Trump was playing golf....if not...he would certainly have pushed the panic--nuclear bottom.....oufffff....what a mess....

It's a good thing that false alarm wasn't shown on Fox & Friends.

Somebody fucked up and pushed the wrong button. Mistakes happen. Next time the mistake may be to press the missile launch button.

There have been a lot of close calls.

Amazing that we've made it this far, really ....

Missile launches are detected by satellite and other very sophisticated methods, not by some idiot setting off a warning horn.

A friend of mine is there on a holiday now, she says that it was confusing for awhile because no one knew where to go, the tourists in the hotels were panicking for awhile.

If Trump did not make all that Trump/Rocket Man hype, the missile alert would have been a big joke instead of people panicking in the street.

That is why Trump made so many bankruptcy. His technique is to bully and insults others until he gets what he wants. It works to a certain point... Until it collapse. Being a jerk always gets back to you some way or another.

Really? Your assumption of what would have happened is a joke. A missle threat that is broadcast all over and even texted to the people there would have gotten the same reaction no matter what. Yup, something else to blame on Trump. Too bad nothing sticks.

That's a pretty good description of N.K. behaviour towards its neighbours in recent years, actually.

Threatening to destroy Japan, just for one ...

No fan of Trump, but he didn't create this problem, he inherited it.

Arguably the only thing keeping N.K. in check right now is Trump's own brand of "crazy."

International sanctions have not worked. Arguably the only thing keeping N.K. in check right now is Trump's own brand of "crazy."

Haha for this specific case I have to agree with you. I guess only a fool can deal with a crazy ass, or vice versa

I was hiking on the north coast of Kauai with my SB when this went down. We didn't hear about it until it was over.
