It's possible the test procedure does send an authentic-looking alert to the devices of staff at this facility? Even in that case I would think their phones would be ringing off the phone in seconds with incoming calls from loved ones wondering what the hell is going on...
- turc1656 9y agoExactly. No matter what, they would have been contacted by the outside world, probably directly by Admiral Harris (the commander of the Pacific Fleet). 38 minutes makes no sense at all unless they were really trying to figure out if they were under attack or not. They probably viewed this admission of error as being less embarrassing as not knowing that they weren't under attack when Japan released a statement within a few minutes saying it wasn't true. They look even more incompetent in that scenario.
