So was a missile fired at Hawaii?

[Venant]

A little while ago, people in Hawaii were alerted to an incoming ballistic missile, after that the whole incident was declared a mistake.

Now people are circulating rumors that there was a missile that was shot down. Anyone heard anything more about this event that is happening right now?

False Alarm.

If the headline contains a question mark, the answer is always "no".

Nope just trolling them abit.

That's still freaking scary. Even if nothing actually happened, that's a lot of panic going on over 'nothing'

If a missile was shot down heading toward Hawaii you could probably expect a declaration of war within hours. I am going with false alarm, these things do happen.

False Alarm.

I am ready for the conspiracy theories though, they should be interesting.

I hope someone is investigating this, because with false alarms like that, the day when a real missile will be shot, nobody will believe it.

Someone just got fired.

If we successfully shot down a missile, we would be crowing about it for weeks.

That's really the best thing we could possibly do to end North Korea's nuclear threat, for example. Blow their shit up off the launch pad and send them a message saying "ready to talk yet?" Problem is, if we miss...

The boy who cried wolf was a serie of calling wolf not just one, like if they do this 10 times perhaps then people will not care. Misstakes happen.

inb4 donald the mongal says the "it was a false alarm" is fake news and declares war

[Orlong]

Why do they even bother having a missile warning system in Hawaii. If there really was a missile fired at Hawaii, there isnt anywhere on the island you could go and survive a missile strike anyway. It would be better for people there to just be oblivious that a missile is incoming than be all panicked

The amount of fail is enough to blot out the sun.

Bomb shelters? Low yield nuclear weapons won't do that much damage.

This needs to be vigorously investigated. This is not acceptable.

Yeah i know, that's why the people in charge have to make sure it doesn't happen again; we don't exactly live in a time we can make jokes about missiles or terrorist attacks.
