I had a laugh, and then I followed the link to the Twitter post showing the absurdly poor user interface for the Hawaii state emergency warning broadcasts. :fearful:

No surprise at all that some poor minion clicked the wrong link ( no physical button or switch, just a link on a screen ).

When the link is clicked and nothing happens a message pops up ‘AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURRED. [OK]’.

Clicking OK they get an 800 number to ring. [ring, ring, ring, ring, … ring…]

Answer: Your call is very important but we are experiencing a higher than normal call volume. If you are in the civil defence and experiencing a need to send warnings about incoming missiles press 1 other wise you are number 3,720 in the queue and we will be with you in about 2,226 hours.

1:: If you are still there we apologise for the trouble you are experiencing. It is probably pointless to respond. [click].
