@@808hey If you lived out in the country 30 minutes from the nearest city, you were better off than pretty much everybody else. They aren't going to target you, but the military base at Pearl in any real attack.
@@compmanio36 I doubt they would go to Pearl Harbor since half of the base is a a memorial and museum, it wouldn’t do much damage either way because it’s relatively close to the shore so I think they would choose places with high population if they really wanted to trigger a war.

I was standing with my feet in the water of Waikiki Beach on my first morning of vacation when the message came across my phone. Sent my family an I love you message and sat on the peer and drank my coffee. I figured that beach or Pearl Harbor would be the x on the map. Nowhere to run.
I'm amazed by how people acted while thinking it was a real threat. The shock, disbelief, denial and lack of knowledge of what to do we see in some of them would be catastrophic if the threat was real. Makes me think on how *I* would act, or even if I would not act at all, frozen in place.
Imagine you are in a World Trade Center tower. There is a loud noise, and you see that the other tower is on fire. Nobody knows why. There is a rumor that an airplane hit it. But that's just unbelievable. What a spectacle. Is there any danger here, in this tower? Some people are fleeing, just in case. Are they overreacting? If you're on a high floor and you took a few minutes looking at the fire on TV and deciding what to do, it's now too late. And you don't know it yet.
how do u know it wasnt real? I was at the sheraton princess when it happened. a boat with tourist said they saw a meteor go overhead and exploded in front of them off the coast of maui. that story disappeared the next day. coast guard and navy closed an area off maui for 5 days looking for something. takes 2 people not 1 that got fired to turn the 2 keys that are 8 feet apart to sound alarm. idiot ige forgot password?. 35 minutes to confirm splashdown of object. then all clear announced.
It was the scariest 30 mins of my life. I’m crying watching this! Everyone reacts differently .... living on Maui I’ve had to evacuate at least 4 times for tsunamis and hurricane and those were scary times. This was different because your life flashes in front of you. I was pacing from room to room, my daughter closed the drapes and sat in the hallway and my husband stared at the TV .... I know I went into shock! I wasn’t myself for days! Mahalo for this video!
I was on the beach in Waikiki and got it on my phone unlike the rest I was like where could I even hide from this on this tiny island with no public bunkers. I decided to enjoy my last few minutes and decided to stop being scared of sharks and ended up surfing for over an hour on a board that was left from the panic came to shore and seen it was a prank or something XD
ME TOO I WAS LIKE OMG WERE GONNA DIE and then i started driving up haleakala so we could get away from the mushroom cloud that could spreak because it was cloudy that day
4:09 “ You can come in but you have to leave the dog outside.” Even facing total annihilation and the end of the world as we know it some people are still concerned about a dog being inside their home.
@@KS-cl8br If this were real, SO many people would've died and you're allowing an animal and human to die when you have the chance to save them. Because apparently, your clean carpet is more important than 2 living beings.
I was in Honolulu when this happened. I posted videos from Hawaii on that day. It was an unbelievable day and most people didn't know what to do. I just smoked cigarettes and started thinking about what I'll do if I survived the missile. It was about all I could do.
And THIS is the problem!! Think yourself lucky that you've been given a second chance. The US, especially in these heightened times, IS a target for nuclear attack if things kick off. There's NO maybe's about it. Almost EVERYONE had NO IDEA what to do or where to go for shelter. What happened, by accident, should be enough to wake all of you up to THINKING about what to do in the event of this happening again for real. Talk to your families and friends about what to do and where to go and what to do post attack ... don't wait or you may never get the chance again. Most people will be feeling the same .. it just needs somebody to kick off the conversation. If it should happen for real ... you won't have time to sit around thinking about it as EVERY SECOND WILL COUNT!!
I dont know why this made me cry a bit. It's watching people when they think they're going to die and really don't have anywhere to go. I got teary-eyed again when he said he saw a man putting his kids in a storm drain.
I remember a news article on this. I imagine a lot of people did the same thing, but the one I heard about there was only enough room for one person and the guy had to choose which kid to put in the drain.
it was scary i was there and i just stayed in my house crying i was young i can’t remember my age but i know it was scary i just wanted to spend it with my family tho
@@AshPlaysHorrorit's not embarrassing. they were protecting their children from something they had every reason to believe was a genuine threat. absurd, maybe, but not embarrassing.
I had just celebrated my 30th birthday the day before this and I couldn't believe that my dream holiday was going to end in such a way. I called all my family back in the UK and said my goodbeys, that is all we could do. I hope and pray that I never go through something like that again.
I'm so sorry you went through that horrible nightmare. But out of curiosity, may I ask how did your loved ones reacted when you called upon them during that time?
Part of the reason why fallout shelters fell out of favor was the realization that surviving a nuclear ICBM strike is incredibly difficult, and the aftermath is a nightmare. Most people wouldn't be able to adjust to the sudden need to operate like their ancestors a did before super markets or cars or groceries. There's really nowhere to run or hide from a nuclear weapon when you have less than 14 minutes from launch to detonation.
@@The_Viscount not being able to cope without cars or markets is the most US thing I’ve ever read, but I suppose that if you’re born in suburbia without sidewalks and your idea of homemade meal in premade tart with canned filling, is hard to hold it against Americans.
I remember this like it was yesterday... I was woken up by the alert while on vacation and within a minute I went from being in bed in boxers to sprinting down the stairs of the resort I was staying at. You could hear kids crying and people yelling around the resort. My dad was at the beach at the time and said all of a sudden, probably 100 people scattered across the sand stood up all at once and started walking/running towards their hotels. I got the the front desk and grown men and women were crying lol. Me and my family decided to go in the underground parkade, but not before I swiped the water cooler jug from the lobby (Hotel manager didn't like that lol). It felt as real as those dreams where the plot is crazy but you truly believe its real life. Never felt such a sense of relief as when someone confirmed via the governors twitter account that it was a false alarm. Man you'll never know relief like that.
i went to the parking garage also till i noticed the entrance was facing the beach!!!! stupid idea. the went to abc andbought a 6 pack and went and hid in the staircase
Whenever I lucid dream inescapable world ending disasters I always have the hugest sigh of relief knowing it isn’t real. I can hardly believe what that relief must’ve been in a scenario like that
I was making breakfast and my mom was visiting. Everyone was upstairs and I see the alert so I run to ask my husband if he got it and he, my mom and I all did. My husband works with missiles in the military and kept saying he would know or someone would call him if this were really happening. I kept saying they didn’t know beforehand when Pearl Harbor was bombed before. We ended up praying and taking shelter with our kids in the closet under the stairs. We didn’t tell them anything just that we were playing a game. I had no idea what would happen if or when it hit. There were neighbors who broke into old bunkers on the base or went down in the man holes/sewage holes. It was definitely something you will never forget.
Lol, does your hubby really think that if ever there would be nuclear annihilation, that some dude somewhere is gonna be like "golly gee, I better pause what I'm doing and call good ol' Jimmy and tell him we're about to be turned to dust"?
@@guyantyy8387 A single bomb is not that destructive. A sealed bunker could save you so long as you aren't directly underneath the blast. Its the nuclear winter, lack of electricity, contaminated water, etc that would kill you.
@@Jake-rs9nq well yeah but it is a nuke and normal nuke will have miles upon miles of coverage in destruction and since the the Hawaii islands are small there's barely anywhere to go a normal can already destroy a small city and not everyone can get into a bunker in time as you basically only have 20 to 30 minutes before the bomb drops.
@@Jdlm-xx7qc There isn't much time, but if you're already home and have a bunker, you'll be fine unless it's one of the largest nukes in Russias arsenal or dropped less than 2 miles away.
Not nowadays but pretty much always… except during WWII people don’t really consider such scenarios seriously because would be incredibly stressful and our brains understandably prefer to avoid stress as much as possible- that includes fire drills, earthquakes or other minor things, when it happens the shock overrides.

If this was a nuke, honestly, the closer to ground zero, the better. Honestly, surviving a nuke is a nightmare. To anyone who don't know how missiles work, from the moment that you launch to the moment of impact you have all of 10 to 15 minutes for an ICBM. If you're dealing with an intermediate or short range missile, you have, maybe 5 minutes.
Sheltering in a secure building will dramatically increase your chances of survival. People in Hiroshima and Nagasaki survived relatively close to ground zero with minor injuries. I have faith that the military’s GBIs, SM-3s, and THAAD batteries can shoot down anything North Korea throws at us but it’s better to be safe.
A guy I work with lived in Hawaii when this happened, but he was deployed to the middle east. He was working on an aircraft at the time, and his wife texted him telling him goodbye and that she loved him and the kids love him. His first reaction was like "wtf" and then he tried to call her but the phone lines were clogged. It wasn't until after it was over that he was able to call her.
I remember experiencing this. I was young, and it was the first time I saw my parents genuinely freak out. It was also the time I said my goodbyes to friends and telling each other “I don’t want to die” crazy times
Wow! I can't fathom what it was like for these people but this doc provides insight into what went through their minds for those harrowing 38 minutes. Having the subjects recreate that day was a creative and entertaining approach. Another great release from the Compy Films team!
It was pretty chill for me because my family figured the Air Force would be up in the skies and trying to blow it up in the sky or something. Plus we didn't even hear the sirens go off so we were just chilling.
I’m crying. Even though it was never real people thought it was real for THIRTY MINUTES. That is a horrifying amount of time to think any minute you’re going to die and then to find out it wasn’t real after all the emotions you went through… I’d be livid.
I grew up in a area where 7.0 earthquakes weren't uncommon but those are quick. Maybe 45 seconds long max but still scary. I can't imagine seeing a alert saying impact in minutes and then waiting for over 30 minutes in terror before you find out it's a false alarm.
This is so informative, and this is only half of what they went through. In an earthquake 30 seconds seems like an entirenty, can't imagine 38 minutes.
A coworker was in a restaurant near our office and described everyone's phones all sounding the alarm at the same time, and everyone reacting with surprise at this sudden widespread noise before they read the text message.
Hawaii has frequent flash flood warnings that come over your phone like the missile alert. Every time that happens, I'm instantly brought back to that terrifying day.
How can you not have shelters? We have several shelters where i live where we have food, water and water supplies for thousands of people for at least two weeks. You need to take this seriously. You need to get below ground to survive a nuclear blast.
My dad had a boat at that time and we were next to the ocean. So our first option was to go onto the water for some reason because if it actually did hit the land, we’d be safe on water kind of.
Sad thing is bro, unless you were 400 miles away it would’ve pointless. And the worst thing about the ocean is nothing is in the way to take some of the hit of the blast. So it would probably go out even further. Crazy stuff man
@@shoazdon7000 uh, 400 miles? That’s a bit of an over estimate on the radius of a nuclear blast, even tsar bomba only had a “3rd degree burn “ radius of 77 km, roughly 48 miles. And that’s far outside the lethal blast radius. For a regular bomb, we’re talking nearly ten times less in radius of all effects, so 10 miles off shore should be plenty to avoid the worst if you have a cabin to hide in. Given at least 20 minutes advance notice, that’s very possible if you are on the water. Of course, you need to not only survive the initial blast, but also have your boat remain intact enough with enough fuel to carry you back to shore somewhere.
@@J7Handle The shockwave from the bomb would also cause huge water displacement which would make being out on the water troublesome. Most family boats wouldn’t be able to go over the kind of waves a nuclear bomb would create.
@@MaxM227 How tall do you think the wave would be at 10 miles? No more than a few feet, I'd wager. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes with energy outputs several orders of magnitude stronger than even the Tsar Bomba, and those don't even generate noticeable waves until they get close to shore.
When we got the alert I didn’t have a phone and my mom acted like everything was fine, a few years later I make a friend who is older than me and he told me that he and his friends took shelter inside of a manhole in the sewers
Hawaii is covered with fallout shelters since it used to be a US Navy base. A lot of them ironically enough are connected to people's basements. Even if they can't save everyone, there's enough fallout shelters to save as many people as possible.
From Hawaii, but live on the mainland now. After this all cleared up I was teasing my family back home cause they didn't leave me any goodbye messages.
I worked in the ICU and heard that announcement . But also the sirens didn’t go off , so I thought this was not real. We still expedited our emergency protocols
I'm assuming your protocols do include what to do in the aftermath of an actual nuclear event? Radiation sickness, flash blindness, etc? Or is that something not usually drilled and trained on for how unlikely it is?
If you were a government and needed to find out if your country population is war ready you might do a test on a remote population. Its a viable way of getting data not saying its the right way. I just have a problem with some guy pressed the wrong button.
I was at my local farmers market booth; warning happened and we just stood there after the alarm. Then we went into a friend who sold ice cream.. we sat there for 25 minutes waiting. There was no plan . No info. No knowing.
You didn't take it as a wake up call. You need to get a plan together for when north Korea does launch nuclear weapons, because hawaii will be a target. Wake up or burn in the mushroom cloud.
Actually, if there's ever a real one, they will have the sirens sounding. Like a lot of people have said, there were just an alert messages, but the sirens that suppose to sound to warn everyone about the incoming danger did not go off. So I'm sure if the real event ever occur, every sounds will go off.
@lovemoviesful2 Sirens didn't go off in Lahaina during the fire. We're on our own man firefighters in Hawaii said they were taking lunch during the fire
saying to someone "your dog cannot come in" when there is a nuclear bom about to hit the entire place is like getting a free ticket directly to hell...
I remember when this happened while we were living there during this time. We woke up to the alerts on phone and the sirens and all I could say was "just be calm and let's just go back to sleep because with the impact of this missle, there really is no place to run or hide close to the marina". Assured my girlfriend that everything will be OK and we both kinda fell asleep waiting for something that never happened. Approx. 30 minutes later, another alert saying false alarm. The island was not the same again, for about ½ the day then back to normal. I can say that with all the crisis since the 70's I can now say we lived through a missile threat.
A year ago my mom, brother, and I were in the kitchen and my dad was in the backyard gardening. We heard a loud "SWOOOOSSSHHHH" in the sky. My mom and I look at each other we both had the same thought "Bomb" we ran outside and looked up in the sky. I tried looking for my dad but we were shocked and froze up. I remember being really at peace. I Prayed "God, thank you for my family and friends and I lived a short life but a good one. Thank you. " but then we saw a Huge truck that was shaped like a rectangle drive down. The swooossshhh was just a very loud un-aerodynamic truck. A sigh of relief and we laughed it off and never have talked about it again. It's crazy to think about your last moments and how you react
My parents were there on vacation for there 10th anniversary and I remember getting a call and my parents were telling me and my siblings that they love us. My mom said that people were going into churches and praying, Everyone was on there phones telling there loved ones that they loved them.
My 9 year old flipped out hearing the emergency signal on this video. We’ve had to evacuate from fires 4 times since he’s been alive plus mudslides. Hearing that sound causes immediate stress by all of us now. Can’t imagine what it was like. I remember it happening and thinking where exactly would we take shelter close to my place and couldn’t think of anywhere underground. Crazy times.
The alarm on my phone woke me up and yes, it was a terrifying shock to read the text message. But when the emergency sirens didn't immediately go off, I knew this had to be a false alarm, so I remained calmly in bed. No neighbors made any noises of panic either.
@@hebneh That's true. Those old sirens are maintained all across the states. I mainly hear ours go off whenever there's a tornado warning. Sometimes we hear that damn thing for 30/40 minutes!
no one made noise or panic either but how could you know? how could you know Korea slipped on the alarm? i was there and no it did not go off immediately it said bombing alert not just the alarm the U.S sent out their fighter jets.
It's one thing to watch a horror movie, knowing it's there to scare you, and another thing to watch total despair and true terror looking at how people were effected by what they thought, was the end of it all.
I remember when this happened. I don't live in Hawaii or anywhere near, but at the time I was away from home in a different state with my dad. It was an experience. I don't think I've known a worse fear. I was terrified a country away, I can't imagine the people on the islands
I couldnt hold back my tears once I got to the girl calling her friend in the car. I cant imagine getting a call or voicemail like that. You can genuinely hear that she was fully prepared to die and wanted to leave a goodbye to her friend. If my friend/family member were goung to die, that voicemail would mean the world to me. Getting to hear goodbye and getting closure hearing that they were prepared to die. There is an extremely sad but oddly joyous feeling you get from that. Like just feeling comfort knoeing they had accepted their death and left you a goodbye message.
Went through this back in the 90’s, was in the middle of an open field of about 309 acres, no place to hide, so I just kept plowing and said oh well. Does no good to flip out, not going to do any good anyways. Figured with San Antonio 45 mikes away and Beeville about the same, I was going to be vaporized no matter where I was. So I just kept plowing and waited for the end. After about 15 mins they realized what had happened and they came on and said nothing was going on, wrong alert was aired. Face it folks, if it ever does happen your not going to want to be alive after they hit, the world will die if it is not split or busted up into a pile of floating chunks of rock around the sun. Radiation poisoning, slowly dying, burned, organs cooked inside your body, the pain your going to have you cannot even start to imagine.
my thoughts exactly. If war has broken out of this scale, the world has gone to hell, and will become a world not worth living in. May as well have a painless death in the middle of a bomb explosion rather then die with second degree burns all over my body.
45 miles away, you're going to survive as long as you don't let any radioactive dust get on your body, and as long as you can find food. The most total nuclear war, with every warhead going off, would only damage a very small fraction of the Earth's surface. Only major cities would receive physical damage. The initial burst of radiation is short and covers only a small area, and the radioactive fallout carried by the wind only lasts a few weeks.
I remember seeing one clip of a surfer who noticed people running off the beach in panic. He stood there a while watching them and then turned around and headed back to the ocean to catch another wave. What that Jason dude said made me think of that. Makes sense.
It did in a way in 83 with tensions high a guy in charge of the nuclear response for the soviets got a false alarm saying the Americans had lunch a nuclear attack if he had followed procedure and pressed the button end of the world. luckily he decided to not follow procedure and because of that no nuclear war. Imagine if he'd done his job.
Got my hair cut in Lahaina (stayed there after few months after the alert, so sad about the fire), and asked the stylist what she did. She was literally holding scissors and working on her first client, the client got the alert and told her. She stopped halfway through the cut, hid in a back closet with the client, and drank all of the wine she had stashed for a work party.
I guess sth that hopefully came out of this, is that Hawaii will know what to do should sth really happen - people will know what to do, where to go and stuff .... because a whole island in PANIC not knowing what to do or where to go is just soooo scary, I’m getting goosebumps watching this
I WAS OUT THERE SHOOTING A VIDEO ON SANDY BEACH WHICH IS ON MY PAGE . All I remember was the message coming across my phone . I saw the panic and couldn’t believe it was really happening. I called my parents and thanked them for everything & told them I had a very cool life I done alot of amazing things and had fun . I rushed to the ALOHALONI hotel in my jeep I rented and sat looking at the beach and the strip which was empty by then and I waited for the explosion. But it never came . Thankful but also heart broken cause I was content and ready for it .
I wish more outlets would show stories like Jason's haha I understand it was disturbing for some but man, to see the beautiful beaches of Hawaii as my last memories... Not so bad 😉💞🤣
I remember waking up to the alert and reading it while still half asleep. I had to read it several times before my hazy brain could register it. Then I contemplated calling my mom, because I was still so tired, I almost couldn't be bothered. But I did, and then I went back to sleep, LOL. If a missile was coming, I didn't want to be awake when it hit 🥴
It’s crazy you can tell how much world war has traumatized us as a nation(as well as many other nations) Just from how that man wouldn’t go to the airport to see his daughter because he thought Pearl harbor would be the place to be bombed
Sheesh, imagine this happening in a big metropolitan city.. I experienced something like this when there was a false tsunami alarm in our area. I remember thousands of people climbing the mountain with flashlights and torches. It looks like a scene from a movie..
\ They have that nervous laugh thing going on because even though they have just been told a missle is headed there, a big part of them thinks they will be fine since it's hard to imagine something like this would happen to you.
Impending mega-disasters always show us what our true colors are. The movie Greenland, I feel, is a great showcase on how people and society would behave in an end-of-the-world scenario.
Makes you appreciate the effect of one person messing up their job can have. Like the 2011 Southwest blackout caused by one tech messing up their job, killing power to 7 million people.
Imagine all the people who confessed their sins at the last min and ended up finding out that Hawaiis been boozled

I was in Honolulu when this happened. I posted videos from Hawaii on that day. It was an unbelievable day and most people didn't know what to do. I just smoked cigarettes and started thinking about what I'll do if I survived the missile. It was about all I could do.

@@PuffKitty imagine if you weren’t schizophrenic and asked dumb questions
And THIS is the problem!!
Think yourself lucky that you've been given a second chance.
The US, especially in these heightened times, IS a target for nuclear attack if things kick off. There's NO maybe's about it.
Almost EVERYONE had NO IDEA what to do or where to go for shelter.
What happened, by accident, should be enough to wake all of you up to THINKING about what to do in the event of this happening again for real.
Talk to your families and friends about what to do and where to go and what to do post attack ... don't wait or you may never get the chance again.
Most people will be feeling the same .. it just needs somebody to kick off the conversation.
If it should happen for real ... you won't have time to sit around thinking about it as EVERY SECOND WILL COUNT!!
I dont know why this made me cry a bit. It's watching people when they think they're going to die and really don't have anywhere to go. I got teary-eyed again when he said he saw a man putting his kids in a storm drain.

Deciding which person to save. Too scary.
That's the thing about bunkers when you need them they're miles away.
Part of the reason why fallout shelters fell out of favor was the realization that surviving a nuclear ICBM strike is incredibly difficult, and the aftermath is a nightmare. Most people wouldn't be able to adjust to the sudden need to operate like their ancestors a did before super markets or cars or groceries. There's really nowhere to run or hide from a nuclear weapon when you have less than 14 minutes from launch to detonation.
@@The_Viscount fu"( you man i want to live.
@@The_Viscount that is NOT the reason shelters fell out of favor, because the rich still have their bunkers

I remember this like it was yesterday... I was woken up by the alert while on vacation and within a minute I went from being in bed in boxers to sprinting down the stairs of the resort I was staying at. You could hear kids crying and people yelling around the resort. My dad was at the beach at the time and said all of a sudden, probably 100 people scattered across the sand stood up all at once and started walking/running towards their hotels. I got the the front desk and grown men and women were crying lol. Me and my family decided to go in the underground parkade, but not before I swiped the water cooler jug from the lobby (Hotel manager didn't like that lol). It felt as real as those dreams where the plot is crazy but you truly believe its real life. Never felt such a sense of relief as when someone confirmed via the governors twitter account that it was a false alarm. Man you'll never know relief like that.
Governor is a piece of garbage who didn't say anything until 40 minutes after he knew.
i went to the parking garage also till i noticed the entrance was facing the beach!!!! stupid idea. the went to abc andbought a 6 pack and went and hid in the staircase
Whenever I lucid dream inescapable world ending disasters I always have the hugest sigh of relief knowing it isn’t real.
I can hardly believe what that relief must’ve been in a scenario like that
I thought lucid dreamers were in control of the dream?
@@wakeupsunshine5799 he's the one destroying the world
I was making breakfast and my mom was visiting. Everyone was upstairs and I see the alert so I run to ask my husband if he got it and he, my mom and I all did. My husband works with missiles in the military and kept saying he would know or someone would call him if this were really happening. I kept saying they didn’t know beforehand when Pearl Harbor was bombed before. We ended up praying and taking shelter with our kids in the closet under the stairs. We didn’t tell them anything just that we were playing a game. I had no idea what would happen if or when it hit. There were neighbors who broke into old bunkers on the base or went down in the man holes/sewage holes. It was definitely something you will never forget.
Lol, does your hubby really think that if ever there would be nuclear annihilation, that some dude somewhere is gonna be like "golly gee, I better pause what I'm doing and call good ol' Jimmy and tell him we're about to be turned to dust"?
@@pearlsswine😂 Maybe if he was high ranking he would’ve been called
This goes to show how unprepared we are for this type of thing nowadays
No one is ready for Nuclear bomb, its just way too destructive that we don't even know.
@@guyantyy8387 A single bomb is not that destructive. A sealed bunker could save you so long as you aren't directly underneath the blast. Its the nuclear winter, lack of electricity, contaminated water, etc that would kill you.
@@Jake-rs9nq well yeah but it is a nuke and normal nuke will have miles upon miles of coverage in destruction and since the the Hawaii islands are small there's barely anywhere to go a normal can already destroy a small city and not everyone can get into a bunker in time as you basically only have 20 to 30 minutes before the bomb drops.
@@Jdlm-xx7qc There isn't much time, but if you're already home and have a bunker, you'll be fine unless it's one of the largest nukes in Russias arsenal or dropped less than 2 miles away.
Not nowadays but pretty much always… except during WWII people don’t really consider such scenarios seriously because would be incredibly stressful and our brains understandably prefer to avoid stress as much as possible- that includes fire drills, earthquakes or other minor things, when it happens the shock overrides.
I was on the beach in Waikiki and got it on my phone unlike the rest I was like where could I even hide from this on this tiny island with no public bunker. I decided to enjoy my last few minutes and decided to stop being scared of sharks and ended up surfing for over an hour on a board that was left from the panic came to shore and seen it was a prank or something XD
Live like you’re dying man 🤙
If this was a nuke, honestly, the closer to ground zero, the better. Honestly, surviving a nuke is a nightmare. To anyone who don't know how missiles work, from the moment that you launch to the moment of impact you have all of 10 to 15 minutes for an ICBM. If you're dealing with an intermediate or short range missile, you have, maybe 5 minutes.
Sheltering in a secure building will dramatically increase your chances of survival. People in Hiroshima and Nagasaki survived relatively close to ground zero with minor injuries. I have faith that the military’s GBIs, SM-3s, and THAAD batteries can shoot down anything North Korea throws at us but it’s better to be safe.
@@mr.nemesis6442 yes survival is possible but the radiation will never leave you and will probably kill you
You would want to be on the other side of the mountain from Honolulu and peal harbor and you may have a decent chance
You're so honest
@mr.nemesis6442 Lol, no. You can't compare the nuclear bomb from back then to today's bomb. Today's bombs are 100x more powerful.
A guy I work with lived in Hawaii when this happened, but he was deployed to the middle east. He was working on an aircraft at the time, and his wife texted him telling him goodbye and that she loved him and the kids love him. His first reaction was like "wtf" and then he tried to call her but the phone lines were clogged. It wasn't until after it was over that he was able to call her.
I remember experiencing this. I was young, and it was the first time I saw my parents genuinely freak out. It was also the time I said my goodbyes to friends and telling each other “I don’t want to die” crazy times
It's been just 4 years.
@@DwAboutItManFr some don't even make it to 3 years.

Wow! I can't fathom what it was like for these people but this doc provides insight into what went through their minds for those harrowing 38 minutes. Having the subjects recreate that day was a creative and entertaining approach. Another great release from the Compy Films team!
It was pretty chill for me because my family figured the Air Force would be up in the skies and trying to blow it up in the sky or something. Plus we didn't even hear the sirens go off so we were just chilling.
There is no entertainment when a nuclear weapon goes off and kills millions in seconds.
Wow, *Oscar*-worthy performance from these reenactments, *especially* that one chick talking to her mom
Lmao
i lived through this and it was honestly the scariest experience i've ever had
Interested to learn more of your story, if you're willing to share.
i did too what island where you on? i was on Honolulu
Imagine being the operator of the emergency alerts like “Oops just told everyone that they’re going to die. Oh well ima fix it in 38 minutes.”
need to poop real quick
that did not happen north Korea Accidentally put on the alarm and did not know until it was amost over
I’m crying. Even though it was never real people thought it was real for THIRTY MINUTES. That is a horrifying amount of time to think any minute you’re going to die and then to find out it wasn’t real after all the emotions you went through… I’d be livid.
I grew up in a area where 7.0 earthquakes weren't uncommon but those are quick. Maybe 45 seconds long max but still scary. I can't imagine seeing a alert saying impact in minutes and then waiting for over 30 minutes in terror before you find out it's a false alarm.
This is so informative, and this is only half of what they went through. In an earthquake 30 seconds seems like an entirenty, can't imagine 38 minutes.
@Moon Cricket Go back to school kid.

This is the perfect attitude to have. Stick with this advice, and you’ll be happier.
A coworker was in a restaurant near our office and described everyone's phones all sounding the alarm at the same time, and everyone reacting with surprise at this sudden widespread noise before they read the text message.
Hawaii has frequent flash flood warnings that come over your phone like the missile alert. Every time that happens, I'm instantly brought back to that terrifying day.
How can you not have shelters? We have several shelters where i live where we have food, water and water supplies for thousands of people for at least two weeks. You need to take this seriously. You need to get below ground to survive a nuclear blast.
Kudos to the woman who wouldn't leave her dog out!
Had this been real, she would have been dead. The whole point in this type of emergency is to get to shelter fast.
@@patspats8590 maybe not if the missile hit the house that wouldn't let her bring her dog in!
@@Macgyverbrowni don’t think you know how nuclear explosions work
My dad had a boat at that time and we were next to the ocean. So our first option was to go onto the water for some reason because if it actually did hit the land, we’d be safe on water kind of.
its actually pretty safe if the wind is in your favor amd the fallout doesnt get to you
Sad thing is bro, unless you were 400 miles away it would’ve pointless. And the worst thing about the ocean is nothing is in the way to take some of the hit of the blast. So it would probably go out even further. Crazy stuff man
@@shoazdon7000 uh, 400 miles? That’s a bit of an over estimate on the radius of a nuclear blast, even tsar bomba only had a “3rd degree burn “ radius of 77 km, roughly 48 miles. And that’s far outside the lethal blast radius. For a regular bomb, we’re talking nearly ten times less in radius of all effects, so 10 miles off shore should be plenty to avoid the worst if you have a cabin to hide in. Given at least 20 minutes advance notice, that’s very possible if you are on the water.
Of course, you need to not only survive the initial blast, but also have your boat remain intact enough with enough fuel to carry you back to shore somewhere.
@@J7Handle The shockwave from the bomb would also cause huge water displacement which would make being out on the water troublesome. Most family boats wouldn’t be able to go over the kind of waves a nuclear bomb would create.
@@MaxM227 How tall do you think the wave would be at 10 miles? No more than a few feet, I'd wager. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes with energy outputs several orders of magnitude stronger than even the Tsar Bomba, and those don't even generate noticeable waves until they get close to shore.
When we got the alert I didn’t have a phone and my mom acted like everything was fine, a few years later I make a friend who is older than me and he told me that he and his friends took shelter inside of a manhole in the sewers
They were acting like ninja turtles
...and it's five years later and not one fallout shelter has been built for the people. The threat is still as real as ever and nothing has changed.
Hawaii is covered with fallout shelters since it used to be a US Navy base. A lot of them ironically enough are connected to people's basements. Even if they can't save everyone, there's enough fallout shelters to save as many people as possible.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl The phrase "There's enough fallout shelters to save as many people as possible" is still true even if there's only one shelter.
From Hawaii, but live on the mainland now. After this all cleared up I was teasing my family back home cause they didn't leave me any goodbye messages.
I worked in the ICU and heard that announcement . But also the sirens didn’t go off , so I thought this was not real. We still expedited our emergency protocols
I'm assuming your protocols do include what to do in the aftermath of an actual nuclear event? Radiation sickness, flash blindness, etc? Or is that something not usually drilled and trained on for how unlikely it is?
The big man said that he literally ate all the hamburgers that he bought! That is a legit plan!
If there's ever a time to eat your feelings, I think that situation would be it.
If you were a government and needed to find out if your country population is war ready you might do a test on a remote population. Its a viable way of getting data not saying its the right way. I just have a problem with some guy pressed the wrong button.
I agree. The mistake at least showed us and the US Government how the general population is unprepared for actual threats.
@@SirHenryMaximo And even though this terrible false alarm event happened ... few people know what to do STILL.
I was at my local farmers market booth; warning happened and we just stood there after the alarm. Then we went into a friend who sold ice cream.. we sat there for 25 minutes waiting. There was no plan . No info. No knowing.
Told to seek shelter. Just stands around.
Darwinism, please make a comeback. We need you.
You didn't take it as a wake up call. You need to get a plan together for when north Korea does launch nuclear weapons, because hawaii will be a target. Wake up or burn in the mushroom cloud.
@@robertmason2225 Sounds like they'd prefer to die in a blast that live in a broken world. That's a fair choice.

Sad thing is when this happens for real no one will take it seriously
That's exactly WHY so many will die!
Actually, if there's ever a real one, they will have the sirens sounding. Like a lot of people have said, there were just an alert messages, but the sirens that suppose to sound to warn everyone about the incoming danger did not go off. So I'm sure if the real event ever occur, every sounds will go off.
@lovemoviesful2 Sirens didn't go off in Lahaina during the fire. We're on our own man firefighters in Hawaii said they were taking lunch during the fire
This absolutely gives me shivers, I cannot imagine what was going through peoples minds when this was happening.

It’s insane how this moment changed people’s life completely

@@TeethOfDead not enough space for a dog? When your whole world is pretty much ending?
I remember when this happened while we were living there during this time. We woke up to the alerts on phone and the sirens and all I could say was "just be calm and let's just go back to sleep because with the impact of this missle, there really is no place to run or hide close to the marina". Assured my girlfriend that everything will be OK and we both kinda fell asleep waiting for something that never happened. Approx. 30 minutes later, another alert saying false alarm. The island was not the same again, for about ½ the day then back to normal. I can say that with all the crisis since the 70's I can now say we lived through a missile threat.
what island were you on? i was on Honolulu
This was very scary! Brings tears to my eyes thinking about it
@mooncricket8192 You might have to go see a head shrink then.
A year ago my mom, brother, and I were in the kitchen and my dad was in the backyard gardening. We heard a loud "SWOOOOSSSHHHH" in the sky. My mom and I look at each other we both had the same thought "Bomb" we ran outside and looked up in the sky. I tried looking for my dad but we were shocked and froze up. I remember being really at peace. I Prayed "God, thank you for my family and friends and I lived a short life but a good one. Thank you. " but then we saw a Huge truck that was shaped like a rectangle drive down. The swooossshhh was just a very loud un-aerodynamic truck. A sigh of relief and we laughed it off and never have talked about it again. It's crazy to think about your last moments and how you react
You wouldn't have heard it if it were an atomic bomb.
@@Galactipod ooo interesting
I was like 12 tho xD
Most terrifying experience in my life
I just woke up to the alarm, read it, shut it off and went back to sleep
Skilful re-enactments bring this event vividly to life .
My parents were there on vacation for there 10th anniversary and I remember getting a call and my parents were telling me and my siblings that they love us. My mom said that people were going into churches and praying, Everyone was on there phones telling there loved ones that they loved them.
My 9 year old flipped out hearing the emergency signal on this video. We’ve had to evacuate from fires 4 times since he’s been alive plus mudslides. Hearing that sound causes immediate stress by all of us now. Can’t imagine what it was like. I remember it happening and thinking where exactly would we take shelter close to my place and couldn’t think of anywhere underground. Crazy times.
The alarm on my phone woke me up and yes, it was a terrifying shock to read the text message. But when the emergency sirens didn't immediately go off, I knew this had to be a false alarm, so I remained calmly in bed. No neighbors made any noises of panic either.
So you put total faith in the sirens?
@@davidhuett3579 Yes, because the sirens are integral to the emergency warning system. Without them, it was clear that this was not a real alert.
@@hebneh That's true. Those old sirens are maintained all across the states. I mainly hear ours go off whenever there's a tornado warning. Sometimes we hear that damn thing for 30/40 minutes!
no one made noise or panic either but how could you know? how could you know Korea slipped on the alarm? i was there and no it did not go off immediately it said bombing alert not just the alarm the U.S sent out their fighter jets.
It's one thing to watch a horror movie, knowing it's there to scare you, and another thing to watch total despair and true terror looking at how people were effected by what they thought, was the end of it all.
I remember when this happened. I don't live in Hawaii or anywhere near, but at the time I was away from home in a different state with my dad. It was an experience. I don't think I've known a worse fear. I was terrified a country away, I can't imagine the people on the islands
i bet it was still scary because you dont know if your next but being first is scary just ask me

Agreed.
I do in fact envy them. They probably feel more alive than ever after this.
It's only when you have anything that you are free to do everything
I couldnt hold back my tears once I got to the girl calling her friend in the car. I cant imagine getting a call or voicemail like that. You can genuinely hear that she was fully prepared to die and wanted to leave a goodbye to her friend. If my friend/family member were goung to die, that voicemail would mean the world to me. Getting to hear goodbye and getting closure hearing that they were prepared to die. There is an extremely sad but oddly joyous feeling you get from that. Like just feeling comfort knoeing they had accepted their death and left you a goodbye message.
This film really makes you think! Great job! It turned out so well!
Well made video, very emotional!
Went through this back in the 90’s, was in the middle of an open field of about 309 acres, no place to hide, so I just kept plowing and said oh well.
Does no good to flip out, not going to do any good anyways. Figured with San Antonio 45 mikes away and Beeville about the same, I was going to be vaporized no matter where I was. So I just kept plowing and waited for the end. After about 15 mins they realized what had happened and they came on and said nothing was going on, wrong alert was aired.
Face it folks, if it ever does happen your not going to want to be alive after they hit, the world will die if it is not split or busted up into a pile of floating chunks of rock around the sun.
Radiation poisoning, slowly dying, burned, organs cooked inside your body, the pain your going to have you cannot even start to imagine.
my thoughts exactly. If war has broken out of this scale, the world has gone to hell, and will become a world not worth living in. May as well have a painless death in the middle of a bomb explosion rather then die with second degree burns all over my body.
45 miles away, you're going to survive as long as you don't let any radioactive dust get on your body, and as long as you can find food. The most total nuclear war, with every warhead going off, would only damage a very small fraction of the Earth's surface. Only major cities would receive physical damage. The initial burst of radiation is short and covers only a small area, and the radioactive fallout carried by the wind only lasts a few weeks.
I remember seeing one clip of a surfer who noticed people running off the beach in panic. He stood there a while watching them and then turned around and headed back to the ocean to catch another wave. What that Jason dude said made me think of that. Makes sense.
It's quite terrifying that this can even happen
I aspire to be as chill as Jason
Disappointed in this basic error that had hundreds of thousands fearing for their lives and loved ones, I never even heard of this
I’m surprised nothing like this happened in the early 80s

Or 40s
Or 20s
with which phones?
It did in a way in 83 with tensions high a guy in charge of the nuclear response for the soviets got a false alarm saying the Americans had lunch a nuclear attack if he had followed procedure and pressed the button end of the world. luckily he decided to not follow procedure and because of that no nuclear war. Imagine if he'd done his job.
Its has been 3 Years now ?, Huh time fly really fast
Imagine what life would be like today if that was infact an actual missile...covid would have been the least of our problems
Got my hair cut in Lahaina (stayed there after few months after the alert, so sad about the fire), and asked the stylist what she did.
She was literally holding scissors and working on her first client, the client got the alert and told her. She stopped halfway through the cut, hid in a back closet with the client, and drank all of the wine she had stashed for a work party.

I WAS OUT THERE SHOOTING A VIDEO ON SANDY BEACH WHICH IS ON MY PAGE . All I remember was the message coming across my phone . I saw the panic and couldn’t believe it was really happening. I called my parents and thanked them for everything & told them I had a very cool life I done alot of amazing things and had fun . I rushed to the ALOHALONI hotel in my jeep I rented and sat looking at the beach and the strip which was empty by then and I waited for the explosion. But it never came .

Sheesh, imagine this happening in a big metropolitan city.. I experienced something like this when there was a false tsunami alarm in our area. I remember thousands of people climbing the mountain with flashlights and torches. It looks like a scene from a movie..
\ They have that nervous laugh thing going on because even though they have just been told a missle is headed there, a big part of them thinks they will be fine since it's hard to imagine something like this would happen to you.
Impending mega-disasters always show us what our true colors are. The movie Greenland, I feel, is a great showcase on how people and society would behave in an end-of-the-world scenario.
Great documentary, very underrated
I like how theres a behind the scenes for before there “reacting to the bomb”
"These missiles are from the lords arms."
