Nothing happened. Everything changed.
One day in January 2018, as Hawaiian citizens went about their day, the entire state received an SMS, which read: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT IN BOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
As cellular networks collapsed and panic took hold 1.4m people (as well as their friends and relatives across the globe) came to understand the urgent nature of today ’s nuclear threat.
By the time FEMA managed to retract the incorrect warning message, it was too late to pretend that normality would resume. Their collective experience had laid bare the growing threat that nuclear weapons pose to the world. In the words of Kauai resident Cynthia Lazaroff, "nothing happened, but everything changed".
