GUY WHO SENT OUT FAKE MISSILE ALERT HAS BEEN REASSIGNED

The Hawaii public employee who plunged the state into chaos by accidentally sending out an incoming-missile emergency alert Saturday has been reassigned. Officials say the unnamed emergency department worker will not be fired because he made an honest mistake. The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency has already put in place new safeguards to prevent such a misfire – including a “cancel” button that will immediately send out corrective alerts if an erroneous warning is issued.
* I would have put in safeguards to stop an erroneous warning from going out in the first place, but that’s just me.
* Here’s a nutty idea – before you push the button, maybe check with ONE OTHER PERSON first?
* From Ops Manager to Oops Manager to no manager.
* They put him in charge of planning this year’s April Fool’s prank.
* An honest mistake. Hey, do we know the number of Hawaiians who died of heart attacks on Saturday, to the nearest dozen?
