'Attention. Air raid alert,' the voice says with a Jedi knight's gravitas. A downloadable app that has been voiced by “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill is triggered when air raid alarms sound in Ukraine.
KYIV, Ukraine —"Attention. Air raid alert," the voice says with a Jedi knight's gravitas."Proceed to the nearest shelter."
When the dangers from the skies pass, Hamill announces via the app that"the air alert is over." He then signs off with an uplifting:"May the Force be with you." On the worst days, sirens and the app sound every few hours, day and night. Some turn out to be false alarms. But many others are real — and often deadly.
Sometimes it can be wise to shut Hamill off. Yeremina forgot to do that on a trip outside Ukraine — to Berlin — and paid for the error when the alarm started shrieking at 6 a.m. and, again, when she rode the subway in the German capital. She wasn't alone. Another person in the subway car also had the app and it erupted, too. The two of them first cursed, but then"it made both me and that person smile," Yeremina recalled.
