Wow verizon really screwed up! It would be great to be out on an afternoon in old coal minin' country and get that message. Being so close to New York, I probably would have panicked, becuase everybody knows that if some place is going to get nuked, it is going to be new york.

Really. A message that states take shelter and everyone freaks out and calls 911. A piece of advice: next time try turning on a radio instead of wasting 911's time. 🤨

Correct!!!!!!!
People are spastic and retarded.
Turn on the TV or the radio or go on-line.
What are the police going to do???
Come over to your residences, sit down on the living room couch and console your panic??? 🤣

**** happens. Get over it! San Francisco routinely conducts city-wide alarm siren tests without any notification and nobody freaks out.

San Francisco has A ROUTINE so that is why they don't FREAK OUT!
San Francisco is an individual case and not NEW JERSEY nor can not be used as any type of comparison.

Agreed.

People freaked out because they hold the people who are responsible for this kind of thing in high regard, and do not expect errors of any kind.

Somebody was probably fired over this incident.
