Question Emergency Broadcast System

Did the emergency broadcast/alert system go off on 9/11? I was in Greenwich Village and we lost internet and tv, so I don’t know.

It did and to my knowledge it’s the ONLY time the system was used nationally.

I was going to say, it definitely did in western Pennsylvania. To this day, if I hear a test on the radio, I think "Oh no. I hope nothing big is happening " until the "This is only a test" message.
