in their haste to notify people, Mass emcon folks sent out an emergency alert via either IPAWS/EAS to the entire region (including other states) that the 911 system was down - causing those states to also activate IPAWS/EAS for their regions telling constituents to "PLEASE DISREGARD THE EMERGENCY ALERT THAT WAS RECIEVED. THIS WAS SENT BY ANOTHER STATE. MAINE'S 911 SYSTEM IS FULLY OPERATIONAL".

Sitting in a routine state emergency services committee meeting and having everyones phones detonate/alert was amusing.

that airplane lost hydraulics after a unsatisfactory repair cause the tail to separate, emptied all 4 hydraulic systems, and decompressed the aircraft. With hypoxic pilots, a missing primary flight control structure, and minimal controls...dutch rolls were inevitable, but not the proximate cause of the crash.
