Nashville AT&T(NSA?)Explosion 12.25.20

[theGinsue]

This has me concerned. With talk of targeting more communications and power grid entities, is this the start of something bigger? Will this event one day be the new "shot heard around the world"? Was this done by a person/group angered by the total dismissal of election fraud claims?

While I can appreciate the fact that the bomber used the recording in an effort to spare human life, in todays world it isn't practical to assume folks would comply or take it seriously. I heard the "if you can hear this you must evacuate immediately" in the recording, but was there an actual countdown as well?

I'd like to believe this is a 'one off' and there's nothing more to be concerned with, but I suspect there will be more and I fear that there will be many injured or killed in following rounds. If there are follow-up events, will they too include warnings?

The mayor of Nashville is a total idiot for dismissing this all with a laugh - his attitude may cause others to get hurt.

Too many questions and at this point too few answers.

Be careful out there. Keep your situational awareness high and run like hell if you find yourself near one of the potential targets.

What I posted on another board about your very point:

The RV was broadcasting a warning? Clearly whoever did this didn't read Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"

For those of you that haven't read it, a quick synopsis of the part I'm referring to (spoiler warning):

• The Moon colony wants independence from Earth.
• The Moon colony doesn't want a war, but needs to demonstrate that they have the power to inflict great damage upon the Earth.
• The Moon colony loads up several supply containers with rocks instead of the usual cargo and sent them towards Earth, not into their usual parking orbit around Earth but straight in.
• The Moon colony can do so with great accuracy, so they target vast, unpopulated areas as demonstrations (remember, the Moon doesn't want to start a war).
• The moon colony warns the Earth that these areas will be demonstration strikes and tells Earth EXACTLY where where the strikes will be so they can assure the areas are evacuated (remember, the Moon doesn't want to start war).
• Earth's government does nothing and allows tens of thousands of people go to the published sites to see the Moon "throw rocks".
• Tens of thousands of people die.
• Earth blames the Moon for the deaths and starts a war.

For those of you watching "The Expanse", yhea, I see it too...

Ford E350 motorhome. I wonder if it had the generator running? Seems pretty sophisticated. My guess is this was a laptop controlled device that detonated a propane fueled blast. Had a CB radio PA setup.

My opinion is this is domestic terrorism.

The reason folks evacuated was Police arrived on scene due to 911 calls reporting shots fired. They show up, hear and see the RV, and begin evacuating the neighborhood. I will bet all the slave bucks that the shots fired and possibly the call into 911 was the same person/group that parked the VBIED in front of the AT&T/NSA Building.

It supposedly took out either dispatch or at least LEO communications in parts of three states. But, I'm waiting to hear details as to... how or why. Here in CO dispatch is usually managed on a county by county basis, sometimes with joint agreements across a couple counties. They usually run off local towers. I have a hard time imagining how the loss of a C/O would disrupt local LEO communications unless they were doing something stupid from a disaster management/recovery standpoint, but I only know about "here".

Impacted 911 service, not radio comms.
