I read this and past threads about SB starting up unexpectedly, and was
reminded of a particular unexpected alarm I experienced many years ago.

I used to have an alarm clock radio on my bedside and typically woke up
by having the radio turn on.
I was living in Israel at the time, and one morning the radio wakes me
up as usual
and I hear a radio announcer speaking in an extremely urgent and
hurried tone: 
"... our planes our attacking in waves ... heavy fighting is taking
place in the Golan Heights... Sinai ... "
So I jump out of bed and a million things rush through my mind.
I'm running through my apartment trying to figure out where I placed my
army boots 
which I haven't seen since my last reserve duty,
and at the same time I'm stunned my army reserve unit has not called me
up for service during the night,
and it's so strange that no one from my family or friends called me up
while all this was going on.
Then a few seconds later a different announcer comes up on the radio
and says in a leisurely pace:
"this was a repeat recording of some of the voices we broadcasted x
years ago this day"

It was October 6, an anniversary of the Yom Kippur war
