Hawaii Panics During False Missile Alert
錯發導彈預警使夏威夷陷入慌亂
Residents and tourists in Hawaii received an alert Saturday morning that warned of an incoming ballistic missile. The alert said to take immediate shelter and warned it was not a drill. Hawaii was in a panic for 38 minutes before learning it was a false alarm. An employee at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency had pressed the wrong button during a staff changeover. A similar false alarm went out in Japan on Tuesday. It took ten minutes for authorities to correct the mistake in that incident. Many in Hawaii and Japan believed the alerts were true due to tension between the leaders of the US and North Korea.
周六早上，夏威夷的居民和游客收到了即將降落的彈道導彈預警信號。預警讓大家迅速尋找庇護所并表明這并非演習。在知道這是錯誤信號之前，夏威夷在慌亂中持續了38分鐘。夏威夷緊急事務管理署的一名員工在換班時按錯了按鈕。周二日本也犯了同樣的錯誤。日本政府用時10分鐘來糾正錯誤。美朝領導人之間的劍拔弩張讓夏威夷和日本的很多人相信了這次預警。
