Japan issues earthquake alert by mistake
Original: alarma
Japanese authorities issued an erroneous earthquake alert, warning of the strongest quake in the country's history. The false seismic alarm briefly halted trains and trams across Japan for several minutes before the error was corrected. No major damage was reported, and outlets worldwide are covering the scare and questions over the warning system's reliability.
Why now: A mistaken alert about a record earthquake briefly disrupted transport across Japan, drawing broad media attention.
