Charlamagne awards Governor of Hawaii David Ige for triggering a false alarm saying that missiles were heading towards the state. Ige then blamed the alarm on a government employee pressing the wrong button. The frenzy that followed showed how fragile our society is. If a "wrong button" is pressed or a social media account of a world leader is hacked, we can be sent into chaos for fake reason. 

What's worse is when asked why he didn't go on Twitter to announce it was a false alarm, Ige said he forgot his password.
