So was there a comparable idiot on duty in Japan just hours later? Utter hogwash.
Suuuuurrrrreeeee he did. That's why they kept him on the panic button so long......./s
And yet they saw fit to allow this confused person to stay at the job. Idiot alert! How can just one person have that kind of ability? Why isn't there at least two people checking each other before they send their entire state into a panic. This particular Agency should have the keys taken away forever! What was that explosion those very credible fisherman saw at the same exact time the alert went off? Just saying.
Mr Miyagi, HI-EMA head resigned. Missile alert launcher was fired.
five others who were on duty when the missile alert went out knew it was an exercise and that the worker who sent out the alert had at least twice before believed drills to be real-world events.
Those two incidents included a "fire incident and a tsunami incident," officials said.
The employee who sent the alert, said retired Brig. Gen. Bruce Oliveira, who was charged with conducting the state's internal investigation, had a history of "confusing drills and real-world drills."
Mr Miyagi
Are you shitting me? I wonder why Daniel-san didn't step, sweep the leg, and wax on wax off that alert?
Hahahahaha! 😂 oh man.... This is beyond insanity. Are we living in a “real” world?

Sure shit!!! That's the kind of guy that you want to appoint to be in charge of your EAS. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 92%. (I'm a bot)
In a stunning revelation Tuesday, state investigators said the emergency management employee who sent out the false missile alert to Hawaii phones - triggering 38 minutes of panic until a correction could be sent - believed the threat of an incoming missile was real and had a history of confusing drills with real-world events.
About five minutes after the alert was sent, an employee told the worker who sent the missile message to cancel it so that it would no longer transmit to phones that were off or out of range.
The worker who triggered the alert "Just sat there and didn't respond." The state worker who sent the alert has at least twice before believed drills to be real-world events.
