     This article centers around the mistake message that was sent to every resident in Hawaii alerting them to evacuate due to a missile attack. This was not taken lightly, but taken as a "wake-up call" demonstrating the possibility of nuclear war in this point in time. Beatrice Fihn, a winner of a Nobel peace prize for a no-nukes association, goes on to illustrate the possibility for tragedy to an entire nation. By the end, she describes how these weapons have caused damage already and will cause nothing more but loss.
