Christmas Day Bombing in Nashville?

[Marauder06]

Anyone have more details? This is literally close to home.
Explosion that rocked Nashville on Christmas morning appears to be 'intentional act,' police say

 

[RetPara]

Certainly not a good thing. Fox News had a video of an overflight up.

Don’t know anything more than what’s out there currently. But... that’s a VBIED.

 

[Kraut783]

....there is information that the subject made sure the area would be cleared of people prior to detonation, but the details are not available yet to public.

Sounds like a statement.....probably Domestic and not related to international terrorism.

 

[amlove21]

The VBIED detonated at 0630, seemingly to reduce casualties due to foot traffic being low.

An audible warning from the car could also be heard prior to the explosion- telling people to evacuate.

SBY, I’m pulling the clip.

Almost like they've taken the PIRA MO and used it. Will be interesting if there was an associated statement with it.

I would like to see what @racing_kitty says about the BDA. Surprising their is not as much structural damage to buildings in such a tight area....curious what was probably used.

There’s a traffic cam showing an RV they believe to be the vehicle that exploded.

I’m desperately trying to wait till we see some more information come out... because this whole incident is really making me tweak out a bit.

Same.

Personal opinion...I am absolutely shocked that this has not happened already; I had it in my head that this would be rather routine after 9/11...and as available as guns are in the US, I was expecting pretty frequent terror related shootings as well.

For the most part, none of that took place. I still do not understand why not.

If it's what I think is being alluded to, I'm surprised it took this long to happen. Hopefully I'm wrong but any other motive seems to be better.

And what is being alluded to right now?

I'm not a fan of cryptic messages.

THIS raises my eyebrows because you are not an alarmist.

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

I'm saving my opinions until more comes out.

I will say it's a goddamn shame...

Apologies if I misread the room, but it appeared to be politically motivated. I'll retract my opinion until more comes out.

Yep. I’m gonna hold what I got here, but spending my time in and out of Portland and Seattle this past year has altered my optic a bit.

I will say that I am expecting this to be very, very complex.

With the ATT infrastructure building on 2nd avenue N being the probable target...anything from anti-government, anti-5G, to upset employee...etc.

No gov buildings. No targets of sentimental value. No population centers.

Just a lot of businesses shut down due to government mandate.

Reports of human remains found near the blast center.

[Ranger Psych]

RV's cheap, space inside, decent access to put stuff inside. As for why? Who owns the local area?

 

[Ooh-Rah]

worth at least keeping an eye on until cleared.
