AUTHORITIES faced anger and demands for answers on Sunday after a false alarm about an incoming ballistic missile caused panic in Hawaii, a Pacific archipelago already on edge over fears of a North Korean attack.
The notification was sent out just after 8.00 am (1800 GMT) on Saturday, lighting up phones with a disturbing alert urging people to "seek immediate shelter".
