They should consider better labeling for their buttons.

I don’t know anything beyond what’s been reported, but I would bet a day’s pay that someone had a bunch of one type of button, labeled one for shift change, labeled another for “we’re all gonna die,” and thought that was good enough.

So, there’s no cover for this button or anything?

We have 50 of the coverless buttons in the store room, why pay money for a covered button?

False. NK fired a nuclear missile at Hawaii, but the US shot it down with a super secret laser anti-missile weapon that we don’t want revealed yet.

But seriously, they probably need to put a cover on that button or something.

That is the real concern. Or like a Windows prompt saying “Are you sure you want to freak everybody out?”

Exactly. Considering the kind of damage sending a warning like this out by accident could cause, you think there’d be more security considerations.
