It's interesting how they try to play it off as a drill, or a mistake even though the message stated otherwise
Jacob Turner
>Do you actually believe there was a """"button""" and no failsafe Of course not, especially considering they've already stated there was a failsafe.
Nolan King
I hope our Emperor Trump will strike North Korea with unreasonable force for scaring our fellows Hawaiians. Kek wills it!
Jace Wood
>Do you actually believe there was a """"button""" and no failsafe or mechanism to control this. Yes, obviously. If they were going to do a not-a-drill drill they would have turned on the sirens, half the people didn't believe it anyway because they knew there were sirens, the sirens had been tested in the past and they weren't going off. You can't do a proper not-a-drill drill without the *main warning system people have been taught to expect*.
Entire 911 systems have been taken offline for hours at a time because some idiot counted the calls using an integer that eventually overflowed: there is no limit to stupidity where computers are involved, even for mission critical systems.
Ryan Cooper
Most likely it was a false flag by the deep state to create chaos under muh drumpft era.
Also likely the system was hacked by Russia or NK or China.
No one in the defense dept thought it was real because they would know about it before the warning goes out.
Andrew Howard
>Central Happenings Network I like this. Please continue making videos.
Joshua Nelson
>spill coffee on big red button >Oops just started ww3 It was a warning for one state that a lot of people didn't even believe, not a missile launch.
Zachary Watson
>>Do you actually believe there was a """"button""" and no failsafe or mechanism to control this. No I don't. " From a drop-down menu on a computer program, he saw two options: “Test missile alert” and “Missile alert.” He was supposed to choose the former; as much of the world now knows, he chose the latter, an initiation of a real-life missile alert." No button. Just bad GUI.
James Davis
Except that there are six stages, several involving different humans, that need to be passed for the missile alert to activate.
It isn't just some pleb at a Windows XP machine clicking in a GUI.

>Do you actually believe there was a """"button""" and no failsafe or mechanism to control this. quick rundown
>CONELRAD is created in the 1950s >it would warn the american people of an incoming nuclear attack and nothing but that >by forcing most transmitters to turn off and sending an emergency alert message through alternating transmitters, it would confuse soviet bombers as there was no such thing as GPS or accurate INS back then, they had to home in on radio towers >basically an upgraded version of the blackout technique used during WW2 >only one group, the Air Defense Command (think NORAD), could activate this system >the president could not talk through it, it would just give some simple information on taking shelter and so on, it would be activated nation wide
>EBS was created as a replacement after ICBMs became a thing, since they don't rely on radiolocation and have preset targets >it lasted from 1963 to 1997 >this one was intended to allow the president to speak through it >it was mistakenly activated in 1970s once, with the codeword "hatefulness" >at first it was just like CONELRAD, only meant to be used in the case of a nuclear war, but later on it was improved to allow states and counties to broadcast limited alerts to alert people of things like storms and wildfires >interestingly the chain of command to activate the EBS was much like the chain of command to activate CONELRAD, just spread out through many more government agencies >this meant that in the 90s, someone at the national weather service could activate the same system used to alert everyone of a nuclear attack, on a national level >the only thing differentiating a nuclear attack warning from a weather warning was a few codewords

Anthony Perry
>EAS was created in 1997 >it was meant to improve upon EBS by hooking into things other than public TV and radio, later on it was hooked into the cell network and cable TV >guess how the chain of command was set up? >you guessed it, any government agency can send an alert with little to no oversight >the alert format looks like this for TV ORIGINATOR (PEP for the President or other officials on his level, CIV for civil authorities, WXR for weather service, EAN for others) EVENT CODE (there's about 50 of them, there are ones for storms, nuclear power plant meltdowns, civil emergencies, floods, fires, hurricanes, local emergencies, police warnings which can be activated by your local police, and the emergency alert notification which is exclusively for use by the President for you know what) LOCATION CODE (anything from your local county to Arizona to the entire United States) PURGE TIME (when does this alert end) TIME OF ISSUE CALLSIGN
MESSAGE (oh shit looks like the pacific air command says there's a missile incoming t. preset alert that nobody at the pacific air command has authorized or has knowledge of) PREAMBLE
>when an alert formatted like this is sent out, it is immediately relayed through all adjacent and interested stations >most stations have text to speech hardware and broadcast integration hardware setup, which is how they can hijack the audio and speak in a spooky way >there is basically no oversight for an activation >someone would probably come in and look at the message if it was an EAN, but nobody would care about a storm warning >for about 10 years most EAS hardware nation wide had preset passwords that were publicly available >there have been cases of people hacking into EAS hardware to send out bullshit messages youtube.com/watch?v=py2xWU0nm54
so yes, there is a "button" and the only failsafes are the ones that are maintained on a station or agency basis
Grayson Young
>Except that there are six stages, several involving different humans, that need to be passed for the missile alert to activate. formal processes for the activation of a system won't necessarily stop someone from just activating the system manually, this is why nuclear weapons have things called Permissive Action Links that are designed to stop someone from activating a nuclear weapon without a code that will only be sent when a nuclear attack is authorized
Eli James
>formal processes for the activation It's not a "formal process", it's a system. One stage cannot fire without the previous stage successfully firing. Several of these stages involve human beings manipulating mechanical activation mechanisms.
Michael Wilson
>Several of these stages involve human beings manipulating mechanical activation mechanisms. i find it hard to believe that an entire government agency suddenly decided that a missile was inbound without receiving any notification from the USAF or USN. it's pretty clear right now that an internal test message (one meant to hit all of the EAS endpoints without actually activating a message) was ordered, but someone fucked up and hit the button to send the actual message.
Elijah Thompson
>i find it hard to believe that an entire government agency suddenly decided that a missile was inbound They didn't, it was done to psychologically manipulate the populace.
Jayden Morales
you're one of those idiots who believes in the theory that the democrats did it to start a nuclear war?
Cameron Perez
I think the official story is that it was supposed to be a drill, but the person in charge clicked on the wrong button, the one that actually sends out the message, instead of the one that tests the alert system.
Gabriel King
>you're one of those idiots who believes in the theory that the democrats did it to start a nuclear war? Nope, that doesn't make the least bit of sense. Are you one of those idiots who thinks the US government hasn't been conducting psychological warfare on the American people non-stop since the end of WW2?
You're full normie if you think this incident was "just a mistake".
Daniel Collins
>You're full normie if you think this incident was "just a mistake". i made two entire posts about how the EAS is a poorly thought out trainwreck and you still think this was intentional?
the national weather service could issue a nation wide alert about an incoming missile. someone pressing the wrong button isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Samuel Green
Don’t argue with the conspiratard, tin foil types don’t have reasoning capabilities
Ethan Barnes
I was in the navy for 5 years as an EW engineer and mistook a Jordanian airforce jet for an Iranian bomber and scrambled 6 US jets and 3 UK jets. User errors happen quite often but you only heard about this one because the media gauntlet has been blabbering on about North Koreas potential to hit Hawaii with it's ICBM capabilities.
Levi Stewart
What is this about? Can someone tl;dr? t.not american and don't watch TV or read news not related to technology
Leo Ross
Inb4 sisterfucking pasta
Sebastian Wood
Don't forget that EAS is an absolutely massive clusterfuck held together by spaghetti
Jaxson Lewis
>but you only heard about this one because the media gauntlet has been blabbering on about North Koreas potential to hit Hawaii with it's ICBM capabilities. No, the alert went out to everyone's smartphones, that's why we all heard about it. How many civilians' smartphones was your mid-identified Iranian bomber sent out to? That's the difference
Leo Powell
>conspiratard t. believes muslim goat herders did 9/11
Ayden Parker
Someone accidentally activated a missile alert so Hawaiians got "run 4 ur lyfe" message on their phones. It was recalled like 10 mins later. OP is convinced the Illuminati did it to calcify his pineal gland or something.
Hunter Barnes
Hawaii got told they were about to be nuked by Big Kim, and some user on Sup Forums fucked his sister. That's about it.
Henry Clark
What the fuck do you think the Government has to benefit from falsely triggering the alarm? you know people can fucking see right? You know people would be able to see if Hawaii got hit right?
