Hawaii false missile alert button pusher fired
- Gibbon1 9y agoTwo choices. If you push the button and it's a false alarm, you get fired. If you don't push the button and it's not a false alarm, you were going to die anyways.
- gesman 9y agoDesperate damage control attempt from management. Button pusher need to be trained and reassigned. This was not a malice.
