WORLD WAR III Title: "This is not a drill": Emergency service pings phones to warn of ballistic missile inbound to Hawaii Sorry for posting this a few minutes late. I had to change my pants after my bowels released. Amid the usual clatter about sh*tholes and porn stars, this ho-hum tweet floated through my timeline at 1:09 ET. Was she being pranked? Or pranking everyone else? Nope. It was happening: Ryan Ozawa (@hawaii) January 13, 2018 Cori Zarek (@corizarek) January 13, 2018 According to one person, sirens started going off in Hawaii. Just like that, on a lazy Saturday afternoon nuclear war with North Korea. Civilization as we know it was about to change. Millions, mostly North Koreans, would be dead by the end of the day. Greg Gutfelds wife is in Hawaii today and told him there was indeed mass hysteria at her hotel: GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) January 13, 2018 Ten long minutes later came the word: False alarm. Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) January 13, 2018 Hawaii EMA (@Hawaii_EMA) January 13, 2018 Heres what it looked like on Hawaiian television. Having just watched it, Im now on my third pair of underwear of the day. Timothy Burke (@bubbaprog) January 13, 2018 How did Hawaiians finally discover that it was a false alarm? Some who werent watching social media
didnt: Mike McIntyre (@mcintyremike) January 13, 2018 The follow-up alert declaring a false alarm reportedly took 40 minutes to deliver. Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz is blaming human error but a security outfit claims to have spoken to someone at NORAD and been told that the alert was, and I quote, Possibly a hack or a very sick joke. Possibly a hack? The emergency warning system isnt hack-proof? If this was a hack, it was basically a Swatting except with potential nuclear repercussions. Ive been using Twitter for news daily since 2009 and can tell you with total confidence that this is the most frightening thing to happen on social media in that time. I wonder how many Hawaiians will need medical treatment because of it. Whoever screwed up should go to prison. Update: The panic will have been felt most acutely in Hawaii, of course, but the ripple effect is national. Sara Donchey (@KPRC2Sara) January 13, 2018 Hawaiis EMA claims it was a test gone bad: Amber Jamieson (@ambiej) January 13, 2018 Two conspiracy theories to look out for today and going forward. One: It was a hack and the feds are playing it off as a botched drill to try to keep the public calm while they try to catch the culprits. Two: There really was a missile and we shot it down. And now, to avert war, the feds are going to play it off as a false alarm. The real missile theory is highly unlikely as other countries would have detected it too and news of the launch would have trickled out somehow. But this is whats going to circulate online.

And Trump didn't immediately push the nuclear button? All the liberals said he would and therefore couldn't be trusted. Looks like they may have been wrong. Where are THOSE stories?
I assume that everyone in Hawaii was already dead. Just like the rest of us, killed by Trump's tweets. We must not allow a mine-shaft gap.
