Anonymous Coward User ID: 76809044 United States 09/19/2019 04:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sirens went off on Oahu and Maui. Officials claimed it was HPD (Honolulu Police Department) that made an error during training. Quoting: Rev Woo-Woo This explanation doesn’t fly though. Why on earth does HPD have access to the emergency alert system? And why did the sirens go off on Maui as well? The “false” missile alert wasn’t really false. There were witnesses that saw something shot down. So if that “mistake” was real, what about this one? so, they finally did something right, for a change? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77996993 United States 09/19/2019 04:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Didn't hear the sirens where I am in South Maui, but read on social media that people in North/Central Maui (Kahului, near the main airport) heard them and assumed it was a false tsunami alert. The sirens didn't sound for very long. Reports of sirens in Honolulu (Oahu) as well. |

It was people on a fishing boat some miles out to sea that saw it. I Am Not Ashamed of The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ! |

(OP) User ID: 77410422 United States 09/19/2019 12:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sirens went off on Oahu and Maui. Officials claimed it was HPD (Honolulu Police Department) that made an error during training. Quoting: Rev Woo-Woo This explanation doesn’t fly though. Why on earth does HPD have access to the emergency alert system? And why did the sirens go off on Maui as well? The “false” missile alert wasn’t really false. There were witnesses that saw something shot down. So if that “mistake” was real, what about this one? stay safe,. most LE enforcement databases are linked together; these days. The explanation on the news last night for why HPD dispatch has access to the alert system is that they are staffed 24/7 whereas Emergency Management is not. And the reason for the Maui sirens - ah, well, they’re not sure - must have been a malfunction. What are the odds of a mistake AND malfunction at the same time? And why was HPD dispatch doing training at 5pm in the evening? “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

(OP) User ID: 77410422 United States 09/19/2019 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The thing about the original “false” missile alert is that the system is automated so the explanation that one guy pushed the wrong button is bullshit. This current one is bullshit too. HPD can’t originate alerts. Now, I’m not sure if it’s connected but Honolulu airport has been having ongoing electrical problems which have been mostly impacting TSA. Could they be experiencing hacking problems in the state security systems? “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.
