Bad design: This is the menu where a wrong click triggered the Hawaii missile alert Saturday


Honolulu Civil Beat tweeted this image of the menu page where an Emergency Management Agency employee accidentally clicked the wrong item and triggered a public emergency missile alert.


According to Honolulu Civil Beat, “The operator clicked the PACOM (CDW) State Only link. The drill link is the one that was supposed to be clicked… The BMD False Alarm link is the (newly) added feature to prevent further mistakes.”
