*The worker that sent shock waves and more through Hawaii last month when he or she sent a false missile alert reportedly believed the threat was real, according to an NBC news report released today. Ugh! As if…I mean, do you really think the person, who has since been terminated, would have taken such a messy risk if the belief wasn’t there? But oh well, I guess you never know.
Anyway, this is what came out of remarks from the FCC report, which calls the incident, “A combination of human error and inadequate safeguards contributed to this false alert.”
The head of Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency, Vern Miyagi, had “taken full responsibility” for the incident and resigned Tuesday morning, and two other employees are gone as well.
