WTAF?! US regulators say Hawaii employee who sent missile alert thought attack was imminent

Considering this ’employee’ in Hawaii allegedly had to hit a button twice to send the alert, we’re not entirely surprised that it wasn’t an accident.

BREAKING: US regulators: Hawaii employee who sent false ballistic missile alert thought actual attack was imminent.

Sounds legit, Hawaii.

But wait, that’s the whole story? Umm … why did this employee think an attack was imminent? Does this employee not need a directive from a higher up before pushing a button TWICE to send such an alert?

Or maybe he or she was eating Tide Pods and passed out on the button, twice, and they’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Wut?
