Just to keep everyone on edge, China makes a next war video,
which looks oddly like a Miller Lite or Pepsi commercial
Saturday, January 13, 2018 - Some Unwanted Pearl Harbor Attack Nostalgia – Hawaii Got To Sense Some Real Fear That Their Lives And Way Of Life Could Suddenly Come To An End
The Infamous Hawaii Missile Alert
Why was Hawaii Attempting To Announce When Korean Missiles Would Be Fired? Wasn’t This A Top Level US Announcement? This Was A Local Hawaii Government Bungle

On the morning of Saturday, January 13, 2018, a ballistic missile alert was accidentally issued via the Emergency Alert System and Commercial Mobile Alert System over television, radio, and cellphones in the state of Hawaii. The alert stated that there was an incoming ballistic missile threat to Hawaii, advised residents to seek shelter, and concluded: "This is not a drill". The message was sent at 8:07 a.m. local time. Civil defense outdoor warning sirens were authorized and sounded by the state.
Thirty-eight minutes later, State officials blamed a miscommunication during a drill at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency for the first message. Governor David Ige publicly apologized for the erroneous alert. The Federal Communications Commission and the Hawaii House of Representatives launched investigations into the incident, leading to the resignation of the state's emergency management administrator.
BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
The alert was sent at 8:07 a.m. Hawaii–Aleutian Standard Time. People in Hawaii reported seeing the alert on their smartphones. Many screenshots of the push alert were shared on social media platforms, such as Twitter. The alert read, in all capital letters.
BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Local television broadcasts, including a college basketball game between Florida and Ole Miss being shown on CBS affiliate KGMB and a Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Everton on NBC affiliate KHNL were also interrupted by a similar alert message, broadcast as a Civil Danger Warning.[31][32][33] The alert message on television broadcasts took the form of both an audio message and a scrolling banner. It stated in part:
The U.S. Pacific Command has detected a missile threat to Hawaii. A missile may impact on land or sea within minutes. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you are indoors, stay indoors. If you are outdoors, seek immediate shelter in a building. Remain indoors well away from windows. If you are driving, pull safely to the side of the road and seek shelter in a building or lay on the floor. We will announce when the threat has ended. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Take immediate action measures.
Hawaii's False Missile Alert Shows Americans Have No Idea What to Do in Nuclear Attack

If you were told to take cover because of an incoming nuclear ballistic missile, would you seriously know what to do? (Or would you run around frantically or ball up in a fetal position?)
Many people in Hawaii faced that very question on Jan. 13, 2018. That morning, at 8:07 a.m. local time, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency sent out an alert advising residents to seek shelter from an incoming ballistic missile.
This is not a drill: Lessons from the false Hawaiian missile alert

Maybe you are at home after just finishing breakfast when an emergency alert gets pushed to your cell phone. Or perhaps you are driving to work or just sat down at your desk. An alert comes through that says there was a large explosion nearby which may include nuclear or radiological material. What would you do: Try to evacuate? Reunite with your family? Immediately seek shelter?
This is precisely what a recent study that we conducted sought to figure out by surveying two diverse samples of approximately 2,000 US citizens—in April 2018 and June 2018. The study sought to examine how important the topic of nuclear risk is to the American public; how much attention Americans give to it (if they thought about it at all); and how they say they would respond if a threat was imminent.
