 This is Tim Apacheo with What's On Your Mind Hawaii for Think Tech Hawaii. I'm here with Chris, Matt and Oscar. And you're from where? Australia. Australia. Australia. Okay, three generations. And the question is did they get the text about the incoming ballistic missiles from the Hawaii State Emergency Management Center? Sure did. My wife told me about it when I was in the shower and being somewhat of a fatalist. I said well by the time I get out and get dried we're done and dusted. Matt, what did you hear? Yeah, I got the text coming through the phone and I just thought it was a unique sound to us because we're not used to getting those sorts of warnings at home. So we picked it up and had a look and then had a look outside and we couldn't see any fighter jets scrambling and there was nothing on the TV about it. So we thought is it a hoax or is it real? Oscar, what were your thoughts? My thoughts were like I was there when the shark, I thought it was a shark alarm but then my dad said no Oscar, it's a missile. And they're like what? Yep. Does it increase or decrease your faith in the state of Hawaii and their ability to manage things properly? It increases it. My wife asked me what do you think it means and I thought to myself it's probably Kim Jong-un firing a missile more sort of over the Pacific towards Hawaii instead of Korea or Japan. You do understand this was just a drill they put on by error? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do now. Now that it's do you think that was ways of them? No because it said this is not a drill and so being you know 17 floors up in a hotel you're just standing there going what the hell where the hell do we go? That was our next next thoughts is what do we do? Do we just stay away from the windows? What do you what do you do as a tourist? You were a fidelist you said and so what other fidelistic thoughts did you have? I thought it's a false alarm. I've been through so many false alarms around the world over many years of travel. Never yet has there been one that was genuine. So you weren't scared weren't wasn't alarmed? No I continued I think actually I thought to myself and I made a joke with my wife I said well there goes our money for Captain Bob's cruising and snorkeling picnic day. Oscar did you have any thoughts were you were you worried were you scared? Yes but when I heard it was a drill I thought they were idiots. Do you think whoever brought this line should they lose their job? Oh yes one mile yes. It's probably a bit harsh to lose their jobs but as tourists it's probably would be beneficial if you knew what to do or where to go if it was actually genuine other than start watching the windows. So you really had no idea where to go and how to go about it? No not at all. I think people are so accustomed to having false alarms for a variety of things that sometimes you need to make it appear real to see if it will work. Often you'll find for example when they do the same with fire alarms it's total chaos and had it been a real fire for example you would have had hundreds of casualties because people don't know what to do. Well that's a good perspective but in this particular case the text message said this is not a drill. Well as I said being a fatless I was in the shower at the time and I thought well it's all over and done with by the time I get out and get dried. All right well you heard it from our neighbors and our friends from Australia. This is Tim Apachello for What's on Your Mind Hawaii for Think Tech Hawaii.
