The message quickly spread
like wildfire only to be taken down as fake ​or false alarm.
CNN interviewed Juliette Kayyem,
national security analyst, that the message was part of a test, for every emergency management agency is constantly testing its systems of communication, and this time through phone texts and social media. But because everybody in Hawaii thought it was real when they received it on their phones, people got scared and even panicked thinking that the missile could hit them in minutes. Only to find out soon that it was all false alarm, that there was no ballistic missile heading toward Hawaii.
But even with the message
from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard abou the fake missile threat, many people are not relieved; they are outraged over the incident. Messages pour out on social media ​that this thing should not have happened in the first place, because it could mean life and death. As we all know, tensions have been building up with the U.S. and North Korea and Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific ocean making it an easy target for missile attacks. People could not just ​put the message aside that easy and they are terribly concerned in every way. The message itself is truly terrifying sent to phones in all caps: "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." Very seriously written that was why people took it all seriously in the first place. If it was all an error or false alarm or just a test, then those concerned should post a correction message the soonest possible time or else the fear and panic will go on and on wrecking people's lives in the process.
