Frightening emergency message interrupts regular TV broadcast

Amidst my hectic schedule of doing my radio show, going to gym, and a social life, I always find time for a bit of rest and relaxation. One of the ways I do this is by catching up on what's on television. 

I am someone that is always connected online and on social media. After all, most big stories get shared on social media first before they hit our screens, but I find watching TV gives me time to unwind after a long, hard day on the grind. Most of the time you'll notice the programming of TV is standard. Advert, programme, advert. However, I think if I heard this while watching TV, I would definitely sit up at full attention.

Just recently an emergency broadcast warned many that a missile was heading towards Hawaii. Tourists and residents were left terrified after noticing a message that interrupted their regular viewing alerting them of the danger. 

Later officials confirmed that the broadcast was a false alarm but people were still abandoning cars on highways and preparing to flee their homes. It was reported that the alert was sent when someone hit the wrong button during a shift change and Hawaii Emergency Management Agency Administrator admitted they’d made a mistake, UNILAD reports.

For nearly 40 minutes, it seemed like the world was about to end in Hawaii - an island paradise already jittery over the threat of nuclear-tipped missiles from North Korea.

The alert was played over regular viewing in a very strange voice. I mean, how is it possible not to panic when hearing this voice interrupt a normal broadcast?

The emergency alert, which was sent to cellphones as well statewide, sent panic all over the island.

Terrifying!
