during the press conference, this was a tweet and a lot of people aren t on twitter. they are certainly not sitting there staring at their twitter if they are at the beach. another 15 minutes goes by, and the u.s. military, their pacific command which tracks all of north korea s missile launches is based right there in hawaii said it had not detected a ballistic missile and the earlier message was in error and the state of hawaii will send out a correction message as soon as possible. but it took another 10 minutes, a full 40 minutes after the initial alert had gone out, false alert about an incoming ballistic missile for the final notification to be sent. now the head of hawaii s emergency management system just told people that there will be no more tests of this system and that but if it was a real test of an actual missile or a missile was actually fired at hawaii, it would only take 12 or 13 minutes to arrive. again, it is important to note that, you know, north korea has not de
you know, mentioned the process. look at this. this is from hawaii s emergency management agency. this is what the process is if there were to be a ballistic missile attack. the u.s. pacific command which is based in hawaii, sends a message to the state. the state then warns its citizens. you are talking about 20 minutes, from launch in north korea to a missile landing in hawaii. just 20 minutes. and in that time, in the first ten minutes, the warnings are sent and then citizens have just 10 minutes to react. and the only reaction they have, there are no fallout shelters. there are no bunkers unless you have a personal one. you literally have to stay indoors, and if you are driving, lay flat on the ground. that s the advice they have. plenty of questions about this process, about whether or not more needs to be done to prepare hawaii for something like this. arthel: yeah, indeed. bryan, we re waiting for that press conference you mentioned. the minute it starts to take place, we will b
number, thousands of troops on hawaii, which is largest geography region of the globe as the u.s. divides the globe, stretches all the way to india, and includes this missile threat of north korea. so they ve been aware of this of how far could the north koreans launch a missile. and that s the text we keep hearing about, they keep farther and farther until they reach the intercontinental ballistic missile to reach the continental mainland. so hawaii has been prepared in getting ready for potential of this as the military does for all contingencies. i want to read to everyone the statement from u.s. pacific command. again, let s keep in mind everyone this is happening in realtime. this text went out emergency alert on the phones, some not quite 50 minutes ago and a lot
someone pushed a button. we are trying to turn around some footage we were there yesterday. it was not the phone call that would come in from u.s. pacific command alert the pooh em in this room to not only a put out the push alert but sound the siren, put out television alerts, and interrupt television programming and interrupt all am f.m. radio. the reason that this system didn t go off in the way that it s in tended to in the way that people on hawaii have been drilling last two months is because if indeed what the governor is saying and what you heard on mbs snbc this was a bi mistake. they literally pushed the wrong button in a room staffed 24 hours a day in a cold war era bunker built actually earlier than that within diamond head
8:05, 15 minutes later this message indicating no missile threat to hawaii. we didn t get someone from u.s. pacific command 30 minutes after that initial push alert. we heard from a spoerks person saying that earlier message was sent in error. lucky to have my jack object my colleague on waikiki beach. i know you want to get into here to talk about how this went down and what you ve heard since, jack object. jay object. let me pick up where courtney left off. if they detect, the way that hawaii civil defense emergency management the agency that sent out this alert in error would be notified of that on a small phone within the diamond head crater. we were in that room yesterday. what needs to happen to figure out where the break down in communication was, how this was
