The Alert Ready system test all over Canada.

so thats the last sound from the old world once the zombies begin to rise....

At least for you it wasn't a test of the Donald-Trump-Direct-Line-To-Your-Phone system.

I didn't even get it.
Yet everyone I know did.

shows the cognitive level of the mass.

I just looked up what the sound was like. Living in the USA, I thought our alert tone was worse. But now I can see why everyone freaked out.

what is that system for??

leon315 it's an all in 1 emergency alert system for things like forest fires/earthquakes/flooding ect ect and more importantly terrorist attacks and nuclear missile strikes.

I wish we had a system like that here in Scotland because all the experts say that if there was to be a nuclear missile attack on Britain the missiles would not be aimed at the obvious place of London or any other big city they would be fired at my home town of Clydebank. Why simply because a few miles to the north is Faselane which is the base for all of Britain's nuclear submarines. A few miles to the North West of Clydebank is Coulport which is an underground facility where over 100 atomic bombs are stored. In the actual town is B.A.E Systems where a large chunk of Britain's warships are made and also repaired when damaged. Also close by is a military base which officially nobody in the military ever confirms exists even though we know its there and the place is heavily guarded and you get arrested for trying to take pictures of the place basically its Scotlands Area 51. Plus they are always doing things at night time with strange looking aircrafts taking off and landing.
