A test of the national ‘Emergency Alert System’ which was seen by television viewers this morning in states across the country prompted panic and confusion, with many taking to Twitter to express their concerns.
The test began at around 11am EST and was broadcast in Washington DC, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The emergency alert contained no details and merely listed the states it affected and said the alert would run from 11am until 12 midnight.
Viewers in Sacramento, CA also reported seeing the test, which lasted for about 10 minutes before the regular TV broadcast resumed. At no point were viewers advised that the alert was only a test.
Some said the alert made them panic.

This is a reply to # 2,245,935Judging by the majority of posted comments there indicating people in frenzy state of peeing their pants, test was successful..... and New Jersey, again.
"I have certain rules I live by. My first rule - I don't believe anything the government tells me, nothing, zilch, nada .... and I don't take very seriously the media, or the press, in this country.... their function is kind of an unofficial public relations agency for the United States government .... and I gotta tell you folks, I don't get all choked up about yellow ribbons and American flags. I consider them to be symbols for symbol-minded"
