As they say, any publicity is good publicity. I think this stunt is going to pull in those tourists from Korea. Brilliant!

A Dutch newspaper has an article about a Dutch woman who was
holidaying in Hawaii and got the message on her app.

<https://www.ad.nl/buitenland/rotterdamse-evelien-opgeschrikt-door-raketalarm-hawaii-ik-moest-huilen~a1851016/>

She was crying and lots of other people were crying and whatnot. I
don't know how many Dutch tourists this will attract

Here ya go (and in Vegas in the 50's atomic bomb test watching was big tourist draw: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2014/...-vegas/375802/ ):

"Going Nuclear Over the Pacific

A half-century ago, a U.S. military test lit up the skies and upped the ante with the Soviets.

But of all the things happening in the skies that summer (1962), nothing would be quite as spectacular, surreal and frightening as the military project code-named Starfish Prime. Just five days after Americans across the country witnessed traditional Fourth of July fireworks displays, the Atomic Energy Commission created the greatest man-made light show in history when it launched a thermonuclear warhead on the nose of a Thor rocket, creating a suborbital nuclear detonation 250 miles above the Pacific Ocean.

In the fifty minutes that followed, witnesses from Hawaii to New Zealand were treated to a carnival of color as the sky was illuminated in magnificent rainbow stripes and an artificial aurora borealis. With a yield of 1.45 megatons, the hydrogen bomb was approximately 100 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima 17 years before. Yet scientists underestimated the effects of the bomb and the resulting radiation.

[...]

Despite protests from Tokyo to London to Moscow citing €œthe worlds violent opposition€� to the July 9 test, the Honolulu Advertiser carried no ominous portent with its headline, €œN-Blast Tonight May Be Dazzling; Good View Likely,€� and hotels in Hawaii held rooftop parties.

Just after 11 p.m. Honolulu time on July 9, the 1.45-megaton hydrogen bomb was detonated thirteen minutes after launch. Almost immediately, an electromagnetic pulse knocked out electrical service in Hawaii, nearly 1,000 miles away. Telephone service was disrupted, streetlights were down and burglar alarms were set off by a pulse that was much larger than scientists expected.

Suddenly, the sky above the Pacific was illuminated by bright auroral phenomena. €œFor three minutes after the blast,€� one reporter in Honolulu wrote, €œthe moon was centered in a sky partly blood-red and partly pink. Clouds appeared as dark silhouettes against the lighted sky.€� Another witness said, €œA brilliant white flash burned through the clouds rapidly changing to an expanding green ball of irradiance extending into the clear sky above the overcast.€� Others as far away as the Fiji Islands€”2,000 miles from Johnston Island€”described the light show as €œbreathtaking.€�

In Maui, a woman observed auroral lights that lasted a half hour in €œa steady display, not pulsating or flickering, taking the shape of a gigantic V and shading from yellow at the start to dull red, then to icy blue and finally to white.€�

[...]

More than half a dozen satellites had been victimized by radiation from the blast. Telstar, the AT&T communications satellite launched one day after Starfish, relayed telephone calls, faxes and television signals until its transistors were damaged by Starfish radiation. (The Soviets tested their own high-altitude thermonuclear device in October 1962, which further damaged Telstars transistors and rendered it useless.)

lol I guess so. It must have been very scary though! I wouldn't like to
see that on my phone.

I noticed a lot of people were running but not very fast.
