Mistakes do happen.
But the inability to correct the mistake for more than a half hour, and the
ridiculous use of Twitter to try to get around the inability for the system
that sent the emergency alert to rescind the emergency alert are more than
curious.
This appears to be something other than a mistake - not surprising given the
current political divide.

It seems like the mistake could have been corrected within the first 2-3
minutes, out at 0807 and retracted at 0809 or 0810, except that this sort of
cancellation feedback depended on public telephone lines?? Or Twitter?? Or
Facebook??
Mistakes happen. I think the important thing is how mistakes are managed. I'm
sure they're addressing the feedback link problem. People in the know knew
from the start that this one guy had made a human error. Just couldn't get
back to him in a sensible amount of time.
