I live in southampton in the UK and every friday they sound an air raid siren to indicate a ship bringing in munitions to a military port across the water, first time I heard that fucker I was scared shitless, hope you guys over in Hawaii are alright and didn't get too affected by this.

not as bad as living in Portsmouth mind, my older brother who went to uni there said they got leaflets through the door whenever a trident submarine was going to be docked up, and the leaflets basically told you what to do in the event of an accidental explosion, that shits just scary

I'm just hoping this will be the last time that such an event happens, one can only cry wolf so many times.

damn, as a minnesotan, thank you for linking this website, this is incredibly interesting stuff. as for that broadcast, that's just insane to listen to. though back then, it took a lot more methodic thinking to perform, since it required you to insert a card apparently. nowadays, i can definitely see how someone could mistakenly click a virtual button and pass by the alert (it's still a dumb and horrible mistake, obviously)

Officials at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency are getting death threats now.
[url]http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/37264452/hawaii-emergency-officials-receive-death-threats-following-false-missile-alert[/url]
Guess some people took it a bit more seriously than others.
Most the alerts I've seen here in Finland have been something like "A BEAR WAS SEEN IN THE WOODS" but if it was like this, I don't know what I would do. There's a shelter in the basement of my apartment building, but being there with everyone else in this building doesn't seem that feasible. It seems to be made for less than 10 people, but there's around ~100 in this building alone. And the shelter is shared among buildings around us. I would be rather peeved if a false alarm like this forced me to suffocate in there.

It probably ruined a few lives, people do desperate things when they think the their life is about to end, and suddenly everything is fine. But if they've done something their friends and family might never forgive them for, their life may as well be over.

not that any of that would matter in the case of an ICBM strike, of course. our most probable "nukers" could get a missile here within a few minutes, and using Nukemap simulations i've estimated that anything bigger than a 800 kiloton boomer airbursting over downtown will flatten all the parts of the city that matter, including this one here (or at least the corner i squat in). if it strikes the airfield instead of the city itself, i'll fare a bit better. in both cases this place shouldn't be downwind of the fallout cloud, so that's something at least
[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;53051954]Who do you think will protect a country with no real allies? Do you think China will launch a nuke so NK wont have to?
What does this post even mean.[/QUOTE]
It means the political fallout from any type of offensive nuking would far supersede the nuclear fallout. It wouldn't be instant, but it would lead to a major war/nuclear exchange. Russia would certainly try and twist it that way.

What? This still doesn't make a lick of sense? Who would be firing nukes to protect NK? Who on earth would take NK's side if they were to fire a nuke? Why would Russia try to twist NK's nuclear attack against the US? Who would be the one offensively nuking? Why would the nations start firing nukes at one another years after NK launched a nuke? What?

It's exactly like that episode from The Twilight Zone.

How the fuck is fucking your (step)siblings so popular in porn?
You'd think, since in real life incest is awful, you wouldn't even enjoy the idea

something being taboo can add to the attraction rather than detract

That's the header for /b/, you dip
4chan doesn't exclusively revolve around /b/
/b/ being the place that housed Cheese Pizza for a good 6 years before the mods finally cracked down on it
Have you never read the countless articles of people posting on 4chan before/after they do some crazy stuff? (I.E. Elliot Rodgers, the guy who strangled his girlfriend etc.)
At this point you have to believe crap they post.
Have they fired anyone for this yet?
