I was just listening to a classical radio channel from Washington on my headphones, when the host announced a "test of the emergency broadcast system." But unlike all the other times I have heard that phrase, the "test" was proceeded by total silence. Afterwards, the radio lady returned and business continued as usual. Doesn't that mean the test failed miserably? What kind of test is it where the outcome is unimportant? Is it my responsibility to call and tell them that their emergency "tone" isn't working as well as they'd like to believe? Is this in itself cause for more emergency?!
Now that I think about it, in the case of a real emergency, things will grow eerily silent, won't they? Maybe they've updated the system and I somehow missed the memo.
