Nashville, TN Explosion

[NKBJ]

My first thought was "Oh, a new way to torch a restaurant to get the insurance!" but nope, that doesn't fit either.

In the season of...

...it might not be so simple to identify the terrorists who did this?

Someone has been watching manhunt on Netflix and decided to restart things

I think this was a test run for something. Downtown on Christmas morning, called in, a warning to get away because it will explode. This person or group did not want to cause casualties, they wanted to see how much damage it could cause or what it could take out. In front of an AT&T building which might contain equipment for internet routing.

Isn't it common for bomb makers to warn people though? Usually with a phone call to the police.

My knowledge on the subject is entirely based on the movie Speed so I could be wrong.

Sure it's weird that someone wants to hurt/kill people while while giving them a warning to get out of the way.

this is the "IRA method"
get people out of the way , but draw police in.

FNC reporting AT&T reporting outage in the Nashville area. Damage to their facility there from the bomb.

True.I guess there's some logic in the madness.

My thoughts, exactly.

Depending on the AT&T building, many of their older buildings are bomb resistant. Cold war precautions.

So who's taking credit here? And for what?

Recorded warning, and what seems to be a targeted bombing of the AT&T building/infrastructure (unless someone had a really bad experience at Old Spaghetti Warehouse)
Seems to be extra careful to avoid loss-of-life.

Distraction? Overdue phone bill? Deep state?

If we've got already got video from just down the street, who's got the video of the RV's arrival? Everyone's got cameras on that block, so there's got to be plenty captured. In fact, the video above would have captured the arrival, unless the RV was wrong-way/one-way on that block.

There's lots of funny smells coming out of this situation...

Funny smells? Who's got the video? ATF/FBI/NMPD. It's a fresh investigation. Why would we (the public) have access to critical evidence so early in this? The video shown was not evidence and thus, we can see it immediately. Likely owned by someone who released it to the media. How could this smell of ANYTHING so early. How could it seem to be a targeted bombing of ATT? That is 100% pure speculation as there is ZERO evidence other than conjecture to support that. People's need to have answers NOW feeds these unsupported theories. We need to make peace with the idea that FACTS will come to the public in time. For now, we just need to let the professionals do their job and be thankful that no one was killed.

Man, you must have forgotten where you’re posting? Stop with this nonsense, reasoning never makes for good threads?

You're taking all the fun out of this with your blasted logic!

 

[Vigilant]

Or, are YOU hiding something? Hmmm?

 

[Brad69]

Yeah Denny tends to be a grown up and has “Denny’ed” a few threads!

I would like to say publicly that my prosperity cult was not involved we were busy with a Krampus celebration.

 

[Vigilant]

I know that area well, there’s likely PLENTY of video available, it’s just going to be released carefully, unless it’s a resident, and they’ll sell out to the highest bidder unless the .gov gets to them first.

Absolutely speculation. But, does it seem more likely than not that there was a target? And that killing people doesn't seem to be that target?

So that leaves us with some other goal. Again, seems more likely than not that the building (AT&T communications center) right next to where the RV was parked could be an infrastructure target of note. Also seems to be the thing affected that's causing the most effect at the moment.
It's not as if they picked a bridge, or government building, or arena or some other location of note that would be available only blocks away...

I'm not claiming some great conspiracy here (yet), but there's something funny going on don't you think? Not a typical terrorist strike IMHO.

Disruption of communications and power are old school tactics. THIS IS PURE SPECULATION!! Could be bubba with a grudge up to real terrorists.
