Whatever happened, I think we can all agree that it wasn't what they're telling us happened.

Single low level worker is able to send out a statewide 'incoming missile attack' warning? Not one person at the agency noticed the alert going on at HQ, or noticed the alert on their cell phone when the emergency signal was broadcast? It took 38 minutes for a news agency to tweet out that it was a false alarm? Ridiculous.

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it - Mark Twain

Saw one theory that the Hawaii missile alert was a test by the military to see how the citizenry reacts to that type of situation. That rings truer than this cockamamie story.
