38 minutes of terror in Hawaii

Just IMAGINE being the guy who pressed the wrong button and having that heart dropping feeling and saying “oh shit”

Ballistic Missile prank GONE WRONG!!"

im sure this made atleast someone call their crush.

“my name is john quinones from what would you do?”

so I live in Hawaii, and when I woke up it had been at least 10 minutes since the alert came out. My mom was CLEANING THE HOUSE, my dad was making breakfast for us. I had mixed feelings like, I was sad cause I thought it was gonna be the last meal we ate cause we had no where to go and I was kinda laughing on the inside cause we literally thought we were gonna DIE and here’s my mom cleaning the house when it’s about to explode

Just imagine a nuclear war being caused by a dude who pressed the wrong button

Imagine you just stepped out of the airport, about to enjoy your first time Hawaiian beach vacation , and you suddenly hear sirens alarm lmao...

single handedly one of the biggest bruh moments in human history

Im actually from Hawaii, i was on the freeway when i got the alert. It was literally like the zombie apocalypse started. I drove paat because begging for a ride, running, cars on fire, people driving at 100+. Parents crying and holding their kids under freeway bypass.... it was so surreal. I kept thinking, any moment now im going to see a flash and 5 seconds later im going to be dead.

It's called social experiment

I was playing CoD WWII with friends. My friend, Matt, said someone’s phone is alarming, I checked my phone 8:08am HST, Emergency Alert. I told them, they didn’t believe me, they looked it up, then bid their farewells and asked what I’m going to do. I said, “Let’s play some Domination. If you don’t hear my callouts or I disconnect, I’m dead.” That was an interesting year.

I remember this day vividly. I live near a military training field here on Oahu and I remember waking up to my phone whaling about this Ballistic Missile Alert. I rushed out to see my dad outside watching the news and he woke up my mom to tell her about the missile alert. About 10 minutes later the nearby military training field started sounding the sirens and then I could hear the intercom from the field: "Military personnel, report to your stations. This is not a drill." From that point on I actually started to believe that it was real. I remember this day like yesterday. I have the screenshot and a few clips from that day. Truly one of the most bizzare experiences I ever had.

How could you outrun a ballistic missile? Just sit back and watch. It's a once in a lifetime occurance after all...

Maybe it’s because of my anxiety, but I will never understand how the public just forgot this happened, I think about it all the time and it’s terrifying

Imagine calling up your crush and confessing your love for them and then it was revealed it was a false alarm

I bet this probably caused a lot of people to rethink their priorities in life.

Rent is down 50% now

Imagine having that missile notification and your grandfather walked in and said “Not again.” and grabs his M1 Garand.

I feel like Hawaii is the worst state for this to happen on. There is literally nowhere to escape to.
