Beskrivelse

Dan Chun sits down with Major General Vern Miyagi, (Ret.) as he recounts the pivotal moments of Hawaii's famous missile alert fiasco where for 30 minutes the publicly disseminated message was “BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAI. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." But it was a drill, wrongfully communicated state-wide as a real inbound missile attack.  Major Gen. Miyagi was in charge.  After the crisis he was persecuted, his life threatened; he suffered a stroke, but it led him into a strong faith in Christ. This is a remarkable show that reveals how integrity, responsibility, and faith guided him through the chaos. Discover the behind-the-scenes story of how meticulous disaster preparedness and unwavering belief helped him manage the crisis with calm and transparency. This episode offers valuable insights into what really happened and we see leadership under pressure, that emphasized resilience, accountability, and the human side of crisis management. Perfect for aspiring leaders and anyone interested in learning from real-world challenges.
