TRWTF is the misspelled "Secnod"

It could be worse. Back early this century, my firm made emergency notification mass-blast software among many other things for the police / fire/ emergency management community. That stuff is commonplace now, but this was pretty gee-whiz back in those days.
Which software the head salesbeast once demonstrated to a small in-person audience of emergency management managers by sending them all a test message "There's been a crash at [the real name of the local airliner airport]". But he selected a much larger audience of local EM folks than he intended. Much consternation ensued all over the county as real response plans got triggered, mass confusion reigned, and instant confirmation or debunking via www and social media had not yet been invented.
