You really are the master of twisting a story Joe. Someone pressed the alarm button by mistake, one suspects that firing a missile is maybe a little more complex than that....

It was a text message sent to people's mobiles in error. What I can't seem to find out is whether someone wrote the text at the time or whether it was a pre-written text just waiting to be sent.

I would hardly call a newspaper report regarding a false alarm being evidence of the ease of firing a nuclear missile but hey, if that's what you choose to believe I don't suppose it's any dafter than the rest of your beliefs...

I'm just guessing but I think the text messages are pre written just ready to send to all. They have all sorts of letters and emails ready like that too. If there was a virus it would be a pre recorded message you'd see first with details added locally later. Just guessing from reading many many post apocalyptic books.
