Just got a text from a med school buddy. He’s in Maui on a family vacation. He and his family were under the condo desk.

Same guy was in Paris during that terrorist attack at a concert.

I’m never vacationing with that guy.

From what I read some employee at the Hawaii EMA just hit a wrong button.

They are blaming the UI. Something like "test missile alert" and "send missile alert" on the same drop down menu. There was a confirmation dialog but that was also clicked through.

Sure. Blame the computer that can't defend itself.
