Default False Alarm: Missile Inbound to Hawaii

Definitely an interesting, yet scary, situation. Seems like the employee who allegedly pushed the wrong button might be in a pot of hot water!

I'm not sure I believe there is one single button for sending this alarm out, either... I'd imagine there is quite a protocol/system to send out such an alert.

What I found very interesting was all of the people (in comments under various Facebook Posts) that were present on the island, saying they just carried on as usual, and accepted the fact that if it was their time to go, it was their time to go.
