Huge explosions involving 20 buildings and several city blocks in nashville

[Dominus]

Look on the news. All over the news. Police already labeled it as intentional. My money is on terrorism.

 

[Cormac135]

Homegrown hopefully.

Are there many dead ?

 

[gsdx]

The reports I read were hardly as dire as was implied. It was a car bomb which blew out nearby windows. Three people were taken to hospital with non-critical injuries.

The FBI is investigating.

 

[Cormac135]

Didn't the IRA use to do Christmas bombings, not that it's them of course.

 

[cityboy-stl]

Nobody dead thankfully. Minor injuries. It happened at 6:30 am in a basically deserted part of Nashville on Christmas morning.

My first thought: Expect soon a message from Trump's Nazi Brownshirt Terrorist Militias saying to the effect: "This is a warning, expect more if you don't overthrow democracy and install Donald Trump as our Fuhrer."

Now for all of you show-off contraraians who have to dispute every syllable, no I don't expect those exact words. But I expect that to be the basic message.

Seriously! I pray that I am wrong. But it is what they promised.

I think it is more like a Motown V. Country Music thing.

 

[Thad1527]

As of now, three injured, none life-threatening. But significant damage to vehicles and property.

I love Nashville. I was last there in February.

The vehicle that exploded was parked in front of the AT&T Building. It's the "Bat Building," if you've seen pictures of the Nashville skyline. I've eaten in its cafeteria.

There are bars and restaurants on Second Ave. North. It's steps from Broadway's honky-tonks, but more where the locals go for lunch.

Nashville is a VERY blue dot in a VERY red state, FYI.

I think it is more like a Motown V. Country Music thing.

Couldn't be. Musically, Nashville loves ALL. Musicians of all genres come to record, perform, write, and live.

 

[rareboy]

I'm thinking then some blood feud between Dollywood and the Grand Old Opry.

 

[Alistair]

From this picture maybe it was just a tree falling on a car. Way to overreact

You should present your evidence to the appropriate authorities:

I saw that on that online how awful that is to read something like that on Christmas day

LOL if they take wild guess as valid lead, sure I will report it.

 

[NotHardUp1]

Explosions plural?

They blew a car up more than once?

Impressive.

Who knew the alleged Trumpterrors hated cars, or Nashville? Hard to fathom.

 

[Thad1527]

Correction: The blast occurred outside an AT&T transmission building, NOT the large AT&T office building with the cafeteria.

Sorry I misunderstood.

Although I'm glad there weren't bodies being pulled from wreckage, there was damage. It certainly looks like a bomb went off.

 

[rareboy]

Officers and witnesses heard a recording from the RV giving a dire warning: “Evacuate now. There is a bomb. A bomb is in this vehicle and will explode."

Pretty clear it was a bomb planted in an RV.

My guess is that given the warning, it is unlikely to be political terrorism.

Maybe to cover up another crime?

Maybe covering up another crime. Maybe someone is just pissed off at AT&T. Sure it could be. But given the fact that AP just published a story 4 days ago about a group of white supremacist Trump supporters planning to blow up the power grid, fascist Nazi terrorism is not out of the realm of possibilty, and it is this story that caused me to first think of political terrorism to start with. Not to mention that other militia domestic terrorist cells have promised to expect this kind of thing to happen if Der Trumpenfuhrer lost. I'm not saying that's what it is, I am saying it shouldn't be discounted until proven what the real motive actually is.

FBI: White supremacists plotted attack on US power grid [Associated Press]

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern U.S., and an Ohio teenager who allegedly shared the plan said he wanted the group to be “operational” on a fast-tracked timeline if President Donald Trump were to lose his re-election bid, the FBI alleges in an affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed.

 

[smokeshadow]

And, of course, the Donald completely ignores the catastrophe

[NotHardUp1]

If there was a murder or torture/murder victim inside the RV, it certainly was a helluva coverup.

It could be anything from an angry AT&T customer to a diversion. Time will tell whether the warning was out of altruism or avoidance of murder charges.

As for Trump ignoring it, well ignorance is his forte, isn't it? He doesn't drink the milk of human kindness so much as curdle it in the breast of others. His exit will be soon, thank goodness I hope the media starves him to death.

I'm sure the Congress is about to deliver him two overridden vetoes if he vetoes the omnibus bill. He wasn't there to help the little red hen break the ground, plant the seed, harvest it, or anything else, so I imagine leadership in both houses isn't very worried about leaving him outside to pout. Biggest loser ever.

The person of interest authorities are honing in on -- 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner -- may have feared 5G was being used to spy on Americans ... this according to a report by the NBC affiliate in Nashville.

Nashville Bombing Bomber May Have Been Paranoid ... Over 5G Technology (Thirty Mile Zone; December 27, 2020)

seems as likely a reason as any with the QAnon crowd.
