An emergency nuclear alert about a mysterious 'incident' terrified Canadians, but the notification was sent out by accident
Candians throughout the Province of Ontario received an emergency push alert early Sunday morning about a nuclear "incident" in the city of Pickering, 30 minutes outside Toronto.
The alert said it applied to people within 10 kilometers of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, and while it said "NO abnormal release of radioactivity from the station," people who got the notificiation were terrified – until at least some got a second notification more than an hour later that it had been a mistake.The initial alert sent to cell phones at around 7:30 a.m.
However, officials confirmed by around 8:30 a.m. that the alert had been sent in error. Some alert recipients got after 9:00 a.m. that said "There is NO active nuclear situation" and clarified the error, but reports online show not everybody received the second alert.
