users iPhone from Hawaii had a terrifying day last night, and that's because they were alerted by the authorities that a ballistic missile was heading towards them. Many users of other types of smartphones, or even those who were watching TV, had the same message sent by the authorities.
queue "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL” received by those in Hawaii generated intense discussions on social networks. It seems that it was supposed to be sent as part of a test carried out by the authorities for the population alert system in case of attack.
Unfortunately for those in Hawaii, a local 40 operator sent the message out to everyone, stating that it was not a test. Authorities quickly denied on social media that the threat was real, but it was XNUMX minutes before a second message was sent to reassure people.
The USA, like Romania, has resumed testing its warning systems in case of a nuclear attack or natural disaster, reactivating the population's warning sirens. Considering that tests of this kind will be done again, including in Romania, it would not be difficult to believe that we could witness similar blunders in the future.
