Why does nobody talk about the weird cell signal blackout during the 2018 Hawaii missile alert?
I was in Honolulu that morning when the alert went out, and my phone went totally dead for about 15 minutes. No calls, no texts, nothing. It came back right after they sent the 'false alarm' message. I looked into it later and found reports that a specific cell tower cluster near Pearl Harbor had a strange, brief failure. Has anyone else dug into that or found similar patterns in other emergency alerts?

That specific tower cluster failure matches the timing of military comms tests that morning.

Sounds like a real convenient time for the towers to take a coffee break lol. Military tests causing a blackout right when a fake missile alert goes out is a wild coincidence. The whole thing just feels a bit too perfect, you know?
