Residents of Hawai’i were startled on Saturday when the following message was sent out via official channels:
Ballistic Missile Threat Inbound To Hawaii. Seek Immediate Shelter. This Is Not A Drill.

UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway was among the countless concerned residents.

Good news came 38 minutes later – it was a false alarm.

What happened was … during shift changes (with) outgoing and incoming staff, somebody selected the wrong item on a computer,” said Hawaii Emergency Management Agency public information officer Richard Rapoza to USA Today. “It was user error.”

However, this may be fake news. Holloway gave an indication of what really happened.
