Worker Who Sent Hawaii False Alert Thought Missile Attack Was Imminent

The FCC said Tuesday that the false alert of a ballistic missile sent in Hawaii on Jan. 13 occurred when the worker in charge of alerts confused a drill for a real missile emergency. A highway sign in Honolulu corrects the error.

A drill during a shift change included the words "This is not a drill," a Federal Communications Commission report finds. According to reports, the worker has been fired and two officials have quit.
