I'm tellin' yez, two key switches that must be engaged simultaneously, spaced too far apart for one idiot to trigger. Works like a charm and requires TWO idiots to coordinate their idiotic efforts in order to screw up.

It was the computers sizing up the human population in a controlled environment like an island in the middle of the Pacific .
 The humans that are supposed to be in charge are afraid to admit to what actually took place .

My opinion is, If there is no reason to change the status of a system, why make it necessary to push any button at shift change. The system should be set up, IN THE CASE OF AN ALERT, THEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON. I don't understand a routine push of any button at a shift change ? Just leaves it open for a mistake exactly like the one that happened. Now what would of happened if someone somewhere push the wrong response button ?

1) the program had a horribly designed user interface and - besides which - the authorization should have required another set of eyes but more importantly 2) a missile alert function should NOT be in the hands of state authorities as it is the FEDS that have all of the advance warning systems

Shouldn't at least TWO individuals need to press the button before it happens?

I wonder if someone is trying to test to see people's true reactions in the event that this really happened. I'm with you though, and in your position, I probably would just hug my family and hold on tight.
Although, I am already beefing up my survival gear and EDC gear....oh wait...wrong forum!

Unfortunately nobody will be fired. The Gov. Iggy and big kahuna in charge of the state emergency warning net work, Mr. Miyagi, said so at the press conference and took no questions. They realize it was a major SNAFU. We know the reason it took so long to cancel the warning was....gulp....they had to shut down the computer, redeploy the software and restart the computer and program. Oh my. The goof maker will get some retraining and keep his job. New procedure will include two people will need to confirm launch of the warning in the future. BTW before the goof maker actually caused the warning, his computer screen read... "Do you really want to execute this action?" and he confirmed YES! I love Hawaii and the folks there are the best, I will continue to visit one or two times a year. Aloha!

Probably ok. But in my unscientific opinion there are more Ovation guitars per capita.

There's a story about James Cash Penney, an ultra-successful retail tycoon who started the retail chain with his name. As the story goes, a vice president of JC Penney asked for a meeting with Penney and brought the message, "Sir, I've lost one million dollars in a wholesale merchandise transaction that went bad. I'm very sorry sir. I'm sure you are going to want to fire me." Penney is said to have replied, "Why would I want to fire you? I just spent one million dollars educating you."

I heard that Homer Simpson did it, in his new job, after he screwed up at the nuclear plant.

Lol! Yeah that’s pretty much the old boy network Hawaiian style. The guy got re assigned which is most likely a promotion to some other department. We will never know who he is other than he’s a “veteran”. It has been confirmed that Mr. Miyagi lied about needing the feds approval to send the official all-clear. This is ridiculous and can’t help it but to think this was no mistake, but either an experiment, or this happened for real but the missile got intercepted. Oh yeah early Tuesday morning NHK news (Japan’s CNN pretty much) made a “mistake” about sending a ballistic missile threat alert. Yeah, I know, you can’t make this stuff up. And back in August, there was a false alarm in Guam too.
