  THE RETURN OF THE CORRECTIONS COMMENT:<br>&gt; the zombie EAS audio and the first lines of fight em til you can’t originate from a 2008 halloween prank video, specifically this one: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6EdnfHCVEo">https://youtu.be/F6EdnfHCVEo?si=z709RQJ3nnb67gMb</a> <br>&gt; during the &apos;would you, could you, on a train&apos; chapter, i mention how the train driver &quot;fell asleep&quot; while driving the train, and how that was a fault of his undiagnosed sleep apnea. i was thinking of narcolepsy when i wrote that part of the script, as that would make sense for him randomly falling asleep. sleep apnea, however, is when you either breathe shallowly or stop breathing altogether while sleeping. the report that was given after the crash was that the driver had <i>fatigue</i> due to sleep apnea, and he wasn&apos;t properly screened when hired. so, he <i>didn&apos;t</i> fall asleep at the helm of the train, but he claims to not have memory of the crash. make of that what you will, i suppose<br>&gt; sorry about the censoring of the hawaii missile alert! the basketball game in the background got my entire video copyright claimed so i had to censor it. the full video is credited in the description, as always :)<br>&gt; it turns out mr. gerde is a reference to an infamous substitute teacher in the washington area, known for telling elaborate, over-the-top fake stories instead of teaching. also, from a Single YouTube Video i found, his name is pronounced &quot;ger-dee,&quot; not &quot;gerd.&quot; so, sorry about that mr. gerde lol

  I had an amber alert, it only said “do not talk to the man.” And I stood in my room for ten minutes thinking this is some Mandela catalogue crap, finally I went to my dad and told him and as soon I said that another came and said false alarm.<br><br>Edit: Jesus Christ, did not expect to blow up

  Fun Fact: Jim Carrey was in Hawaii during the missile threat. Knowing he was probably boned, he went to a nearby beach and watched as the waves went by before the missiles hit. Of course, there were no missiles, so Jim is still alive.

  Fun fact: exactly ONE day before the 2 year anniversarry of the Hawaii Missile alert, AlertReady (Canada&apos;s equivalent system) sent out a false alert stating that a &quot;nuclear accident&quot; had occurred at the nuclear power plant in Pickering, Ontario.

  My sister lived in Hawaii during the attack. She was rightfully terrified, sending &quot;Goodbye. I love you&quot; to my family via text (phone lines were completely breaking down from the panic). She was at uni and everyone there was instructed to go inside. The funny thing is, she tried to tell some rugby players to come into the university, but the players said, &quot;No, if I&apos;m gonna die anyways, I&apos;m going to die having a good time.&quot; and then continued to play rugby outside without a care in the world

  I have lived in Hawaii since 2012. Nothing could have prepared me for that fateful morning in 2018. Though short lived, for 38 minutes we though we were gonna die. Once they announced it was a false alarm, my dad went &quot;Well, someone&apos;s getting fired.&quot;

  I originally heard that the Hawaii one was a complete accident, but finding out that it actually happened because one guy accidentally said “this is not a drill” during a drill and another guy believed him was wild

  My mom was on a flight to Hawaii and descending when the ballistic missile alert came through. It caused so much panic on the flight as the pilots insisted on landing because there was nowhere else to land and staying in the air would do no good and burn the fuel they had left. She didn&apos;t tell my dad or me or my brother until it was deemed a false alarm, not wanting us to worry. When they got out of the airport she said there was absolutely NOBODY on the streets or in common tourist area until the next day where there were many people selling custom t-shirts poking fun at the whole incident. I have two in my closet, one with a picture of Kim Jong Un with bold text saying &quot;Sorry I press wrong button&quot;. We also still have a letter sent to all travelers from David Ige, the governor at the time, apologizing for the incident.

  I got a funny amber alert on August 6, 2022, sometime <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ3tSfM8OXM&amp;t=120">2:00</a>-59 P.M.<br><br>“Do not approach the male. Please call nine one one.”<br><br>And then around 10 minutes later I got this:<br><br>“Please disregard the previous message. Accident”
