Not surprised this is happening. As previously stated here, surprised it was not happening before. Left is calling it alt-right, right calling it antifa, I'm reading. Lol.

Pure speculation on my part, but I’m sitting here watching football and thinking it so I figured I might as well ask the question.
Isn’t this scenario similar to what the IRA did? Attempt to disrupt the government; yet also try to minimize collateral damage?
Minimize being the working word, they were not always successful.

They just opened the streets again. 20 miles north of me.

WTF. Dude appears to be casually walking his dog around the 3:20 mark; after the explosion.
No claims of responsibility yet?
I’m not seeing anything yet... anyone else?

Not even any genuine speculation that I found on the Internet or Twitter as a whole.
Also really interesting to me… Really interesting to me that Trump is not at least tweeted “something”.
The Provos (PIRA) did usually but not always IIRC. The offshoots didn't.
Dude. Right?
My stressors jumped watching this.
Dry run?
FD racing in before scene secured.

Exactly. Buildings not targeted. No structural damage. Blast directed elsewhere and warnings issued.
Could be a number of things.
1. Home grown terror/militant group
2. Local business that was hurting due to COVID and this gives them an easy insurance payout
Any others that are realistic? Not likely a religious extremist group that we've been accustomed too unless it is a group like Army of God.

The blast took out a network hub of the public telephony system.
The blast impact on the AT&T network center remain unlinked as investigators determine whether or not it was intentional impact (source: media coverage).

I don’t know much of anything about bombs. Would an explosion of that size be able to take down air traffic control communications from that far away?

This whole thing seems weird. PA system warning people to get out of the area. Then being powerful enough to knock out the AT&T comms hub through basically a concussive blast, but not powerful enough to blow up the adjacent buildings? Seems pretty planned out.
However, if this was attempted to have a different result there wouldn't have been a PA Warning. Still weird AF.
