Jim Carrey experienced false missile alert in Hawaii

Los Angeles (dpa) – Actor Jim Carrey (58) spoke about his fear and gratitude that he felt during the false missile alarm in Hawaii in 2018. “My assistant Linda called me in tears and said I had ten minutes left,” Carrey said to US talk show host Jimmy Fallon. “It was completely real to us,” said Carrey.

He tried to get off the island with his daughter, but that didn’t work. Then he went to the beach to spend his last moments facing the ocean. “At this point I started to say: Okay, what can I do with this last moment? I just decided to go through a list of gratitude, and frankly, I just couldn’t stop thinking about the wonderful things that happened to me. ”How did he react when it turned out that the missile alarm was wrong? “I got mad and heads rolled,” Carrey joked.

The State of Hawaii Civil Protection Agency (EMA) sent SMS messages to the population in January 2018, warning of a missile approaching Hawaii. This announcement was withdrawn a short time later. North Korea had previously tested an ICBM and declared that it could attack the whole of the US mainland with nuclear warheads.
