How fake do you think the missile alert was?
Was it a mistake? Was it a test to see how people would react? Was there a credible threat? Was there a missile that got intercepted? Pick the size of your tinfoil hat!
I think some 23 year old new grad thought it would be funny
Why? OP has questions that warrant an answer. Hypothetical or not, gotta go wherever the data or lack of data takes you. Even if it was an innocent mistake it would be very interesting to dissect mobile data and analyze physical foot traffic of what happened as soon as the alert went out and extrapolate from there. Make plans based off real world evaluations and analytics - or maybe I’m being too logical about it.
Missile alert?
Innocent mistake because there is no dual key control on mass alert systems? Only way it could be a mistake is if it was a bug in an automated system and that should have you worried too
You obviously have never seen state government owned and operated emergency alert systems I take it? This isn’t NORAD we are talking about. I am surprised this hasn’t happened already. -signed former EAS engineer in Texas
What is this question about
Was a mass text alert about incoming ballistic missile to people in Hawaii hours ago followed by one calling it a mistake
So you are trying to say that this wasn’t a mistake? Someone purposely did this? Or that there really was a missile inbound and then it vanished. I’m lost bruh

@yahoo poster I was replying to - ok maybe you’re right after some posts. Haha.
You can delete and edit posts. But I hear you.
Ok, I’m calling you out. You’re just a troll, right? Nobody is as crazy as the character you’re playing. Even crazy conspiracy theorists wouldn’t question that there was indeed a false alarm in Hawaii.
Shadowing me is flattery and indicates I am doing good things here.
On the bright side, everyone gets to evaluate what they did while panicing and plan how to do better..
We should have fake news flash crash on stock market one of these days. I like this version of reality better where the government occasionally fakes some giant panic so you learn more about yourself .
We do already, like the proof of Trump collusion with Russians that merely caused 4 weeks suspension of an ABC reporter.
I no longer believe the tech industry is where you find the best and brightest.
I stopped thinking that the minute I got hired.
