We had a nuclear detonation EP on the E-3. The UNCLAS portion was fasten seat belts, insert glare shields. There were additional procedures at a higher level.

Wait, so people without Tw@tter didn't know it was fake until their kids told them? I sure would hope that each cellphone that received the alert would have received a retraction via the same medium (text).The alert was issued at 0807 and it was not until 0820 that Emergency Management issued a clarification on Twitter.

Wonder if anyone got laid before the world, ok Hawaii, ended?
If I was enroute I'd start planning on diverting or turning back depending on location. I'd also throw up our window shades and advise the cabin to lower theirs.
The thought of getting on the ground ASAP or far enough way would also be of thought as our aircraft are not hardened. Hell if it was real I wouldn't discount flying on the eastern backsides of the islands. EMP is mostly LOS.
Your basically choosing to either climb and run or descend and hide in my view. That would be a tough call and it would depend on time since launch, location and numerous other holy **** factors! Our military guys would have better answers.
One thing is for sure! I'd have my sunglasses on!
Hopefully we' only be dealing with one crazy a$$ MF launching one missile. If China or Russia joined in or Trump got trigger happy well everything above is null anyway!
Somebody screwed the pooch and should be fired for incompetence (but don't hold your breath)
Back in 1941 didn't someone tell the radar operators to ignore a big signal getting closer to Hawaii...??
How did that work out..??
"Hey boss, I'm tired of this job. Can I do something else?"The responsible individual has been reassigned and not fired according to media reports. Government employees are only fired for political reasons and not incompetence.
