Someone is definitely unclear on the concept of Christmas.

Wonder if it was intended on being detonated PM instead of AM, and the responsible party got it wrong?

I'll bet it's an unresolved Y2K issue.

I'm agreeing with most stories that said it was bait for police and not intended to hurt any innocent bystanders based on the warnings, time of day, and day chosen. Odds of anyone being around were slim and getting the police there would be easy with a shots fired call.

Local rumor sounds like someone has an issue with att. The building where the rv was parked is the hub center where all of the southeast att copper terminates for phone, cable, internet, cell.

They are saying the announcement was to bring attention to the rv and get people out of the area, which police did succeed in doing.

Reward is up to 300k now but I think they know who did this already. A reliable source tells me there is a body (or parts) found at the location where the rv was parked.

I have a feeling we will know more today.

Default Nashville: Christmas Day Bombing Downtown

I am hearing stores like Walmart and target are warning people on entry that they are cash only right now since transmission systems are all down


Additionally. I have a large group of friends that have no phone or internet connectivity right now.

Sounds like we may have a suspect in custody

Not “in custody” but likely no longer in a single piece

You know what doesn't make any sense? If this was a bomb in an RV, why are the downed trees felled in the wrong direction? Why is shit from INSIDE the building blown out of the building? Seems like the shockwave of a bomb blast would have felled the trees away from the RV, not toward the RV.

It's almost like.....the bomb was in the building, not in the RV. Which would make this look more like a coverup for something, not some random terror incident. Huh.

Debris from walls that fell outwards from being weakened I bet and subsequent fires/explosions from gas possibly.
Could be right though maybe the at&t building was bombed also...

Several videos I saw show the blast blowing things outwards and then a huge inflow of air as the explosion “gasps” for air created by the really cold air expanding, then snapping back.

I am far from a physics teacher but this is just my educated guess.

This guy knew what he was doing ad they said his girlfriend reported him to the police months ago for building bombs

The office building in OKC that Timothy McVeigh parked a truck bomb in front of looked like the photo above.
