What America can learn from Hawaii’s mistake | Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists: The text message arrived early on the morning of January 13, 2018: “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.”Luckily, the message was a mistake. An employee at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency clicked on the wrong option on a drop-down menu—selecting “Missile Alert,” rather than “Test Missile Alert.” Instead of a mushroom cloud, a cloud of recrimination and confusion now hangs over Hawaii.
