5:02 am
the state warning of an imminent missile strike the emergency management agency later confirmed it was a full salaam party culhane looks at how the mistake happened. u.s. president donald trump and north korea's leader kim jong un have been trading claims about who has the bigger nuclear button so you might expect the u.s. state of hawaii in the middle of the pacific would be on edge i was the first place they're going to drop a bomb it's crazy you know living here it's awesome but the same time you know really going to like secure all the time that might explain why when this alert was sent out to every cell phone on the island people panicked the warning a ballistic missile was coming seek shelter this is not a drill so people just are it's starting around trying to get into bathrooms so there was a sense of oh girls are eating and some kids are crying and nobody really knew what to do people on twitter found out about ten minutes later from emergency officials
5:03 am
and politicians it was a false alarm those not on twitter had to wait much longer before a correction was sent out thirty eight terrifying minutes how could this happen in the first place the explanation itself is baffling it was a procedure that occurs at the change of shift when they go through to make sure that the system is working and employees pushed along but that's right officials say one person pushed one wrong button the government says it will investigate but for the people who live through this panic that's little comfort i just i run and we went to this other place. that was it people were just running on the street they were all desperately. there was nothing at all the guy had one job right he messed up so all that's crazy a false alarm in the face of an actual threat making the people of hawaii realize
5:04 am
they might not be ready for the real thing pedicle hain al-jazeera washington are we can speak to david santo now who's director and senior fellow for nuclear policy at the center of a strategic and international studies he's in the honolulu and david joe also a father on to festival tell us what was your through your mind when you were with the a. on a saturday and this this imminent warning arrived on your on your mobile phone. on thank you martin well i was shocked you know this was going to be just a normal weekend and i just got that message on my floor and thinking well this is just another you know siren going and i checked it and what what drew my attention is that it clearly said this is not a drill and you know obviously i was you know a little shocked obviously. i you know checked you know the t.v.
5:05 am
the radio and eventually found out ten minutes late on twitter that partly this was a false alert now as you said earlier it took thirty eight minutes to get another message on my phone to actually to confirm that this was this was a false alert so during that time basically you know there was no confirmation poor flight and i want to and david you more than anyone than any ordinary citizen would have a great idea a great a sense of what the danger actually would have been should this have been. a genuine so what went through your mind i'm just thinking did you could you a saw that there was a a nuclear warhead on a missile heading for full away. well i mean it's not impossible because you know over the past few months north korea has been developing its nuclear and missile program. significantly fat men are now the same time.
5:06 am
i think the odds of north korea actually launching out of the blue a missile against a y. or the continental united states the odds are very very low so i was a little perplexed but as the things on when you get a message like this on your phone you start thinking well you know i don't have to have to expect the worst i can't expect that this is not going to happen. so these are all these three quite particularly tense times i think given the the climate is a veteran between kim jong un and donald trump what do you want particularly what we see then about this incident about this particular incident in hawaii. well i mean i think it's let me be very clear i think it's a catastrophic error it is very serious especially given the high tensions right now on the korean peninsula as i said north korea has been developing its arsenal quite fast and we've seen
5:07 am
a war of words between john on the north korean leader and president trump including in the united states increasing rhetoric about you know put possible preventive strikes against north korea so in that environment you thinking well you know if there is an alert or you know a problem with the detection system this could quickly escalate indeed so are you satisfied then that the correct protocol is emplace and and has has the protocol been updated recently to reflect these increasingly tense times. so you know why increasingly we've seen you know the testing of sirens. to to basically prepare or you know increase awareness among the population and make sure that the system works well what is to me a reassuring is that it seems at least at this stage that the problem today was not
5:08 am
due to a malfunction of the civil defense system similarly the odds or what we're going we don't know for sure but it doesn't seem to be the result of a sort of attack. so this isn't you know in some ways quite reassuring the system since to be working what's concerning is that this was a human error now people make mistakes and i'm reassured by the fact that the system apparently was not compromised all right thank you very much indeed david sento to sharing your thoughts with us about this incident that occurred in hawaii thank you thank you martin. that israeli security forces have used tear gas to break up a protest against the detention of a palestinian teenager. supporters of sixteen year old ahead to mimi had been marching in the occupied west bank demanding her release she was detained last month when
