So they’ve managed to not set off an alarm for 70 years. Now with the Norks getting froggy and Trump in office, today it just “happened”. I’m not buying it. This was done on purpose. I’m not sure why though.

I going with there was no button, someone wrote out the text and sent it out.  I don't think they actually have a pre-programmed button for a  missile attack.  Because they are Democrats the media is not questioning it.

I was watching the news conference earlier and the lead guy in charge mentioned something about screen with mouse click buttons/questions that you have to answer before it will set off the alarms. It sounds like a PC terminal not a physical button.

There are supposed to be several layers of questions that you have to go through before the warning is sent out. The problem is that their early warning system allows just one person to sound the alarm.

They were discussing something about changing that trigger immediately to a two man system, both people have to agree before sending out the alarm. Probably one senior and one junior turn key type set up.

While that indeed adds a layer of protection against false alarms, it has to be weighed against potentially slowing down a critical process when, literally, seconds count.  "OMG!  Fat Kim just touched one off!  Where's Bob? We've gotta send out an alert!".  "He ran to [Starbucks|shitter|maintenance closet with Suzie|DMV|...], said he'd be back in a bit..."

If true, and there is a reasonable chance that it is, this means that the Dems are willing to risk triggering a nuclear exchange to spite Trump.  They are indeed insane and deranged.

So, here is my list of possibilities in no particular order:

1)  It was an accident like they say.  First one in 70 years.
2)  There was an actual launch and we took it out in time but we are not saying anything so as not to reveal our technology and methods.
3)  We triggered the alarm to trick Fat Boy into revealing installations in NK through communications and defensive reactions.
4)  Dem Deep State set off the alert to excite anti-Trump sentiment and/or provide cover for damning news about Uranium 1 about to come out.

It's done with a computer screen and not a 'button', but of course they do. They have pre recorded bulletin lead-ins for lots of events. Fires, tsunamis, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, etc. The details are the follow on.

The Emergency Broadcast System will cut into every FCC licensed transmitter in an area depending on the scope of the impending event. Now notifications even pop up on one's phone.

That ability is in every state and federal Emergency Management Agency office in the nation.

What is the remaining flight time for the missile?  (Is the plane going to be in the air when it detonates, no matter what?)

What is it's target? (There's more than one airport in the islands, and a direct hit to one may be a survivable incident at another, depending on warhead size...)

Why would POTUS retaliate based on a state issued warning?

He has dedicated people whose job it is to provide data within seconds of a launch detection.

It was said many people did not get the warning on their phones. One thing for sure you could say this was a successful test as it shows many flaws in the system that they need to fix. I also hear the person who accidentally sent out the message will be re-trained (not fired).

Junior or senior year of high school, there was some fuss about the local school system not being current on their requirements for fire drills, so we had a higher than normal frequency of emergency drills for a while - fire, tornado, and... nuclear attack.

Nuclear attack drill was similar to the tornado drill - everybody went out to the hallways, as far as reasonably possible from windows, then sat facing the lockers in two rows (girls closest to the lockers, guys sitting behind them to supposedly take more of the damage from flying debris, etc).

There was much joking and a few passes made, during those drills.

Dad was just following the Greg Lake - Nuclear Attack song lyrics

They try and tell us there's no cause for alarm.
If you think you can live like a rat in a sewer,
there might be a chance you'll stay alive
.
But no one can say, no one knows for sure,
just who will survive a nuclear attack, a nuclear attack.
You may never come back from a nuclear attack.
Out on the streets they're all living in fear.
You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near.
You won't know what's hit you, it'll happen so fast,
won't be the time to even scream.
You'll just be burned up by the heat of the blast,
a thing of the past in a nuclear attack.
A nuclear attack,
you may never come back from a nuclear attack.
You'll never come back from a nuclear attack.
