Video: UFC champ Max Holloway, others tricked by ‘missile threat aimed at Hawaii’ hoax

Stop it 2018. Just stop it. So put yourself in the comfy sandals of UFC champ Max Holloway for a moment.

It’s Saturday morning. You wake up to a perfect 80 degrees and sunshine. Like any person the first you do when you wake up is check your cell phone to see what time it is.

Oh look you have a notification.

What’s going on. Hawaii stay safe pic.twitter.com/SVEsr2SlpW

What. The.Fuck?!?!

Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.

At least Max Holloway thought to tweet in time of emergency and thankfully this was all just a hoax and or emergency test gone wrong.

Spread the word. https://t.co/d7roxjHWTA

The people of Hawaiʻi just got a sense of the stark reality of what a nuclear strike on Hawaiʻi would be. Cell phones all across Hawaiʻi got a message saying a ballistic missile is incoming, take shelter.

Over a million of Hawaii's people were faced with the immediate reality of having 15 minutes to find a place to "take shelter," wondering where do I go? What shelter is going to protect me & my family from a nuclear bomb?! But there’s nowhere to go, nowhere to hide.

Happy Saturday, we’re stoked the people of Hawaii and Max Holloway can read this story. Not today Nuclear Winter, not today.
