Why is this thread under politics?

I was kind of wondering the same thing. I was about to post yesterday to General Thread and I thought there is no way someone has not posted this incident before me...and then I found it in a somewhat more educational section of the forum.

I just read the authorities are speculating it is a suicide bombing. Flick your Bic?

Yes, like some loser wants to go out famous for the first and last time in his life. Not unlike the Las Vegas POS. Now, what was his name?

I think it was John Wilkes Booth

Here's another incident you'll never hear of, happened about the same time/same day in Los Angeles. Just not a bomb. I work in telecom, this affected us.

There was a manhole in the back end of a RR Yard, that went into a storage vault for fiber optic cable. I don't know if there was a splice case in there or just coils of slack, but there was a 216 count fiber cable in it, with a lot of important traffic on it. And the big cast iron manhole lid was WELDED shut, to discourage vandalism and copper thieves. Makes me think it was a slack storage vault.

SOMEBODY went to the effort to use either a cutting torch or generator and grinder, to defeat the welds and get the lid off, then went in and cut the fiber cable at both east & west ducts, and remove it. Fiber cable has NO scrap value whatsover. Caused MAJOR disruptions to communications traffic in the LA area.

Happened same time frame as Nashville bombing of AT&T building - coincidence? Hmmm......

Accidents happen to cables, but you'd be amazed how many big fires happen in huge underground cable vaults in major cities all over the country that cause massive damages. Ya gotta wonder.

Interesting, the suicide bomber in Nashville gave away his house to a 29 year old in LA.

Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, signed the property away via a quitclaim deed to Lisa Swing, a 29-year-old woman living in Los Angeles, for $0.00, according to county records.

The bomber's father worked for Bell South in Nashville.

Records show the Nashville bombing suspect's late father worked for BellSouth, a telecommunications company that merged into AT&T in 2006, before his death in July 2011 at age 78.
The blast on Christmas morning detonated outside an AT&T building, injuring three people and causing service outages that have affected customers and 911 operations.

So now we know how he knew what is routed thru that building, and we have an LA connection.

Incidents like this always result in political actions.

Anytime someone goes through all that preparation to pull this kind of shit off, is interesting to me on a few different levels. I'd like to hear the facts when they are all uncovered.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there was more than just propane behind that release of energy.

I am saying propane because I don't see a blast crater. Could have had HE, NOX, acetylene etc. I would say the motive was psychosis.

Moral of the story: When the vehicle talks, run!
