Did the terror suspect NYC emergency alert fail the clarity test?
The buzz in my pocket and tone ringing though our packed railroad car startled me from a light sleep. Everyone’s phone was making the same noise.
I knew, instinctively, that it was an emergency alert and, for a split second, I imagined the worst. After all, it arrived less than 48 hours after a pair of bombings in the New York City area, one in the heart of Manhattan that had injured 29.
I pulled my iPhone from my pocket and saw this.
“EMERGENCY ALERT
WANTED: Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28-yr-old-male. See media for pic. Call 9-1-1 if seen.”
