Quote HistoryQuoted: What happened and where? Got family in Tennessee. All we know it was a bomb in an RV on 2nd Ave. There were gunshots reported in the area at around 6am then explosion at 6:30am. Only minor injuries reported at this time. Metro PD was suspicious of it and started clearing the area. |

A resident of the area claimed that the vehicle was playing a recorded countdown (explains why the bomb squad was on the way).
The shootout people said they heard, might have been part of that recording. |

The recent news conference with all of the alphabet agencies just confirmed the recording coming from the RV prior to the explosion. |

Update, certainly a bomb. News conference a few minutes ago- FBI guy "We are going to find who did this. We are bringing in our technical team as we speak".

There are gaping holes visible in the ground in front of the AT&T building where the utility vaults from the street to the building would likely be located. Nashville is apparently a major data switching hub and internet, DirecTV, cell service, phone service, and 911 centers are affected.
If this was jihadis, they would likely have gone for New Years Eve for a substantial body count. Some speculation is that this was to lure in PD before the bomb went off. I don't buy that. My hypothesis is an infrastructure attack, but I couldn't begin to guess a perpetrator. There are too many possibilities, including false flag, and I'm not even that kind of a conspiracy theory guy. |

From everything that has been released, I’d rule out Jihadists too. Whoever did this, knew exactly what they were doing. I wonder if Val Kilmer, Bob Deniro, the All State guy have been seen around any local banks lately. |

I wouldn’t have figured the building in Nashville was anything other than a corporate building. But then I don’t live there either. Kinda makes me wonder if a former employee who would know where important stuff is did it. I highly doubt some rando would know what they were blowing up.

That area is full of bars. Right near the explosion the the Johny Cash museum and the Charlie Daniels museum. Some loft apartments. Stores etc. Most of this bars and businesses are owned by conservatives. It's not the liberal side of town. So, who the hell knows why anyone would do this...then warn people. |

A family friend used to work in that building years ago, and she thinks that it was the true target of the blast. All of the routing that goes in & out of that building is directly underneath where the RV was parked, and it's a lot more vulnerable than the building itself. She says that there was supposed to be a backup facility in Brentwood that should have been able to handle a loss of the downtown building, "But AT&T probably fucked that up, too", in her words. |

The bomb actually took out some communication lines that Air Traffic Control uses as well. The controllers cover enormous areas. So big that they have to take their transmissions, send it via landline to a remote transmitter in each respective sector so that the signals will reach all aircraft in that respective sector. They had to shut down Nashville Airport for a while til they could get it all sorted out and get the backups up and running.
Just when you thought 2020 was going to be in the rear view mirror and you thought you'd seen it all! |

ATT doesn't particularly advertise what they do there but it's not some sort of "Secret" facility either. I used to work in the building that is behind it (162 3rd Avenue North) and we knew that it was an ATT switching facility long before the "Batman" building was constructed. We never worried about our power going out, NES did a good job of insuring that area stayed up at all times. As soon as I saw the location of the explosion I knew it was right outside that facility and some sort of attack on the communications infrastructure was the first thing I thought of. It was just too much of a coincidence. Virtually EVERYTHING that goes on downtown, which includes much of the state and federal government communications, goes through that facility. |

Verizon cell coverage is out all over SE TN, even down to Atlanta.
My cell has been out for two days now, so no one call me for ammo.  Based on the five thousand page thread in GD, lots of folks are leaning towards disgruntled employee(s) seeking revenge. Time will tell, obviously. I feel for the poor folks who worked on 2nd Ave. No telling how long before they can get back to work. Might be weeks, even months for some of them. Just sad. Nashville didn't deserve this.

Verizon west of Nashville is still good to go. ATT has been spotty, it’ll come and go, mainly go. Time will certainly tell, and hopefully the truth will be released. Totally agree with you Bob. A lot of good people will be out of work due to this. Possibly even folks that work miles away. Very sad. |

Many businesses in Davidson county is cash only. Post offices are cash only and are scanning packages but they will not show up in the system until the system is back up.

My LGS here in Benton had a sign on their door today saying "No gun sales. TICS is down." I don't guess that's helping their sales either.
Verizon's web site page that shows outages has most of SE TN being down. Looks like it goes close to Atlanta as well. |

Remember I used to command the anti-terr group and am the states so called Moslem expert. Before they ID'd the loser they wanted my opinion whether it could have been a Moslem suicide bomber. I draw the line at 'checking trucks' or picking up 'parts'. That I leave to all those GS-11 FBI guys. LOL |

A chunk of the RV went flying, when the RV blew, and it created a smoke trail that was visible from a distance, just before the fireball was visible from the same perspective. One of the earlier versions of the 'look at this smoke trail, looks like an airstrike' videos did a better job of showing the trail, and it appeared as a trail extending upward, not downward. |
