Hawaii Panics During False Missile Alert
错发导弹预警使夏威夷陷入慌乱
Residents and tourists in Hawaii received an alert Saturday morning that warned of an incoming ballistic missile. The alert said to take immediate shelter and warned it was not a drill. Hawaii was in a panic for 38 minutes before learning it was a false alarm. An employee at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency had pressed the wrong button during a staff changeover. A similar false alarm went out in Japan on Tuesday. It took ten minutes for authorities to correct the mistake in that incident. Many in Hawaii and Japan believed the alerts were true due to tension between the leaders of the US and North Korea.
周六早上,夏威夷的居民和游客收到了即将降落的弹道导弹预警信号。预警让大家迅速寻找庇护所并表明这并非演习。在知道这是错误信号之前,夏威夷在慌乱中持续了38分钟。夏威夷紧急事务管理署的一名员工在换班时按错了按钮。周二日本也犯了同样的错误。日本政府用时10分钟来纠正错误。美朝领导人之间的剑拔弩张让夏威夷和日本的很多人相信了这次预警。
