FEMA Hack / NJ Train Crash

originally posted by: Antz2xplicit
Sorry to sound like a conspiracy theorist but FEMA was hacked last night and they sent out a fake emergency broadcast to a news station in New york (WKTV NewsChannel 2), At the end of the message the phrase "Would you, Could you on a train" Appeared. Now the train crash in jersey? Im starting to think the grid was hacked. *I have SS of the alert, I will post when I switch browsers.

Well that is interesting....with thone pics I don't see how this could be overlooked by authorities....though the actual wording is Could you would you on a train....

Very creepy.

Supposedly, the train in question didn't use Positive Train Control, so it shouldn't be possible to control the train remotely. That doesn't exclude sabotage, however, or the driver being responsible.

I was just about to pose the question of whether or not the train itself could have been hacked and controlled remotely, possibly by the same people who put out the fake alert, and you just answered that for me. Thank you.

Here's a pretty low quality/low views video of the alert.

This is like something The Joker would have done from the Dark Knight this is messed up


"Would you. Could you. On a train?"

I'm speechless

I cannot see any other reason for someone to go through the trouble of hacking FEMA and putting out an alert with a Dr.Seuss quote about trains other than to activate a cell or put a signature on this incident. Here is the facebook page of the news station if anyone is interested. WKTV Facebook

if the driver says that for some reason he could not control the train ...it just took control away from him, then we are probably looking at a direct take over.

Hats off OP. Thank you so much for recording and sharing this !

I don't get that, there was a National EAS Test test to be done last night?

"The most recent National EAS Test was performed September 28, 2016, at 2:20 PM EDT (11:20 AM PDT"
General result,
Results of September 28, 2016 test,

"The prior regional tests prior to the second National Test were supposed to solve the problems in the 2011 test, but some problems noticed before came to the forefront once more. Once again, some DirecTV viewers could not hear the test, though no music was playing in the background. Some viewers on other networks such as DISH did not even receive the test. One PEP system (NBC3 in Cleveland) saw the test crawl line, then froze and reverted to a static screen. The subsequent screen had the header and attention signal volume up loud enough to cause hearing loss, and could be heard from a block away, which then cut back to the EOM blasts on a regular screen. This National Periodic was limited to Primary Entry Point outlets in some states (such as KHON-TV and KSSK radio in Hawaii, and NBC3 in Cleveland) and not as widespread as in 2011, though some viewers called in with complaints about the absent test."

However FEMA signs have been hacked before.

Thank you for starting this thread.
I don't know why but seeing that message scrolling across the screen made my blood run cold.

Same here...gave me chills all over. It would have seemed like some bizarre technical glitch if I had watched it before I heard about the train crash, but seeing it afterward just made my stomach drop.

That is nothing less than terrifying.

So from now on many people will ignore EAS messages.

Good plan.

This comes from WKTV WKTV Twitter

WKTV released a statement saying this was NOT an authorized FEMA alert and seems to be caused by a hack. They are co-opersting with FEMA to track down the source of the hack.

I'd rather you were wrong, but damn, this is a bit conspiracy/factual sounding.
thanks for the info.

The video with the scrolling banner and Siren alert is creepy as hell.

Being from the UK I've never seen anything like that, I assume we don't have such a system or at least one I've never seen on TV or even mentioned ever.

if this was indeed just a test run by a terrorist, a lot of people will start driving their cars again, out of fear and caution.

We had an emergency in Pittsburgh. Michelle Obama was in town. Got stuck in the Oakland VA for a few hours by the Secret Service.

Big deal.
the emergency alert system was hacked into.
and they possibly Telegraph the attack next morning.
nothing to see here folks.
could it be someone in fema leaving breadcrumbs?

My word. The hairs on my body stood straight up. I've had this feeling MAYBE five times in my life. Hope this is just a hoax or strange coincidence but I don't think so. This # has gone to a new level.

Gut feeling tells me this is just a start. Seems someone(s) is playing a game between this and some of the other strange things occurring lately.

If you visit WKTV's Facebook page, you will find that in between news of last night's mystery broadcast and today's train crash, there is a story about sinister clowns terrorising local neighborhoods.

I especially like that dr. Seuss directly involved
