The worker blamed for “pushing the wrong button” on Saturday morning and triggering a false missile alert that sent a wave of panic across Hawaii has been “reassigned,” according to the state Emergency Management Agency. “The employee who issued the alert has been temporarily reassigned pending the outcome of our internal investigation,” an agency spokesman told Fox News. The employee then confirmed the choice when prompted to do so by the program. Rapoza said there are no plans to fire the worker, but that the agency was focusing on improving the alert system. “Part of the problem was it was too easy — for anyone — to make such a big mistake,” Rapoza told the Post.
