>> its the same person. >> did he explain why then he did it twice? >> i cant explain that. like i said, its a human error that were going to fix. >> we understand it is a mistake. what are the consequences as the result of the kind of just mass hysteria and confusion that was launched this morning as a result of a human error? >> the consequence of this is obviously bad. im working on credibility now because we have worked so hard to get this in place. thats why i want to tell the public right ...

Not sirens, 394 sirens throughout the islands of hawaii by mistake. this could be a big fat human error that triggered a message this is not a drill weve detected inbound ballistic missile coming from north korea. it could be as simple as massive hue middle east m human error. now thats something that would have to be sorted out by them. but from our perch here where we were yesterday inside the civil defense bunker on hawaii sounds like this was a big mistake. and you have the key part of it in...

Was a human error. it shouldnt have happened. it wasnt triggered by the u.s. military. it happened by someone making an error inside a bunker that is less than the size of this hotel balcony, a room inside the bunker inside the crater. so again when the general says, it should not have happened based on what i learned yesterday in that room where the alert was sent. >> well give you exclusive msnbc footage that jacob shot over the last couple of days. i want to read something here from our colle...

We went to this other place, a concrete building. people were just running on the street, all desperate. >> and then this, video of those reacting. children getting into man holes, doing exactly what an emergency alert said to do. seek immediate shelter. this at the university of hawaii, this video in to msnbc within the last hour, as we see at around 8:00 local time, folks running. 8:05 a.m. is when they got the warning and they only had, if a missile indeed was launched, 20 minutes. but at the...

Management agency of hawaii less than 24 hours ago, as he was explaining to me, this system, it went so badly wrong today, is supposed to actual work. to reiterate, the governors office has confirmed that this was the push of a wrong button by a human being who sits inside, basically in a control room, within a bunker, within diamond head crater here, on the island of oahu, inside hawaiis civil defense. this is a system thats designed to basically notify civil defense, to tell hawaiians to take ...

Big fat human error that pressed the wrong button. there isnt much room for error? >> no, there is not. and let me talk about what courtney talked about how this works inside the department of defense. when the united states detects a missile launch lets say from north korea, by our satellites, immediately word would go to u.s. northern command, which is headquartered at peterson air force base in colorado springs, colorado. leadership would convene an emergency conference call with the pentagon...

Im david gura. following this breaking news in hawaii on their phones this is not a drill. many minutes followed before a correction to the message. we saw locals in hawaii. law enforcement and legislators in washington trying to establish this was a real threat. the department of emergency management saying no missile threat to hawaii. we heard from hawaii since this was human error. someone there in the department press the wrong button. trying to figure out what happened. covering the pentago...

Generated, and the concern really requires us to insist on a complete and thorough investigation. it also speaks volumes as to what methods are in place in terms of fail-safe methods and making sure that human error doesnt occur like this and that all of our commands and the administration and the pentagon, even though they say its not the pentagons responsibility. we do have a responsibility, i think, to make sure that systems are in place and this type of false alarm does not occur again becau...

>> [ inaudible ] someone pushed the wrong button and basically today there was a problem and human error. >> sound like you said somebody appreciated the wrong button there. let me ask you what happened after that. you were there at the department of emergency management. how did you and your colleagues react to what had happened there? we spoke to many people living in hawaii who have said here as a result of that they tried to call the department of emergency management and called the local po...
