You mean to tell me that there is a "button" that has “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.” some how attached to it and that no one had to type this particular specific message into the system?
Is there another "button" for "Tsunami threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter."?
And another one for a meteor threat, an Alien invasion and Godzilla?
The idea that the alert could be sent out accidentally by "one person during a shift change" is complete BS.
Hawaii state is without a doubt incompetent, but there is no way the alert system didn't already have a two person (at least) multi layered fail safe program in place to prevent accidental alerts.
