Hawaiian Sports Fans Receive Terrifying False Alarm

Hawaiian sports fans receive a terrifying false alarm Saturday.

Hawaiian sports fans received a terrifying false alarm Saturday, alerting them that a ballistic missile was on its way and to take shelter immediately with the added "This is not a drill."

Thankfully, it was a drill, albeit, a horrifyingly scary one for those in Hawaii.

Hawaiian emergency management later tweeted there was no threat to the island.
