Description | Hawaiians were sent scrambling Saturday morning after an emergency alert notification warned of a ballistic missile threat. It turned out to be an error.
Hundreds tweeted about the message, which appeared to pop up on cellphones shortly after 8 a.m. local time. It read, "Ballistic Missile Threat Inbound To Hawaii. Seek Immediate Shelter. This Is Not A Drill."
The message sent at least a few people rushing for shelters as people pondered whether a missile was heading toward the island. |
