Chicago Emergency Alert System Activated Today (6/26/07) By Presidential Code
An emergency alert announced on TV and radio stations in Illinois this morning appears to be the result of a human error in Washington, D.C.
"Apparently, there's some kind of test being run that shouldn't be going out," Lawrence said. "(IEMA) is getting besieged with phone calls from all over the state."
Rather than a test code being sent to the satellites, the Presidential code was sent instead.
"we don't know why the federal govt used a 'hot' or active code rather then a test code."
There you have it.
A recent incident proving that Presidential Codes can and do get sent out "by accident".

would kill even more people, also Chicago is part of the ``Manufacturing belt`` and it's a big finance center.
