Nashville explosion

[Pato del Muerto 51948]

If the cops were called in before the explosion, I’d wait to see if any evacuation warning was coming from the police presence.

Does Nashville have emergency alert speakers for tornados? That could’ve been a broadcast from those. If it was coming from the van, surely somebody would’ve whipped out their phone

There goes that theory. Guess it was too early for many people to be around. This is some weird shit

[SquishMitten 10369]

I know, Reddit has a checkered past with their speculation on bombings (I.e., Boston marathon), but there was a good theory by somebody. Apparently the truck was in the middle of the street. Gunshots heard beforehand. Maybe the perps got into an argument on the way to the real target, shot at each other, then abandoned the truck setting the timer before running away.

Wild speculation, but it would explain some of the weirdness

I just figured the “shots fired” calls were fake to lure the cops to the location.

[Brisketexan 103442]

Broadcast warning before is very IRA. Merry Christmas. How delightful.

[CooterBrown 17718]

It’ll come out this was a Die Hard inspired fake terrorist act to provide cover for a robbery. Has anyone checked up on the Country Music Hall of Fame? The Toby Keith collection may be a target.

I think the loud speaker and timer kinda rule that theory out. Unless they were going for a specific member of the bomb squad, it seems pretty clear that loss of life was not the intended result. I believe there were also several people who claimed to have heard the gunshots.

That brings back memories. In the early 90s I was part of a National Guard unit based in and near Asheville NC. At one point word came down that we were supposed to protect the area from unrest and/or terrorist attacks (never happened. Y'all are welcome.)

This translated into several of us getting the school-boy tour of the big telephone building downtown where they showed us whatever was 1990s phone technology. Me always thinking like a criminal, I asked all the impolite questions, and it turned out that if you wanted to knock out the phones of 1990s Asheville NC, all you needed was a deer rifle and a nice spot over on Town Mountain, if you knew which window to aim at.

The other thing I remember was that we were told not to use tear gas on theoretical protestors because that was a bit extreme. [/csb]

That's a good theory, but folks can just buy that collection at their local Cracker Barrel 

[Bama Chick 28595]

I’m an hour from Nashville. All AT&T cell service, some landline phone and internet are down. Just went down about an hour ago.

It’s shutdown the 911 lines in some areas.

I feel like with the intentional timing (6:30 AM on Christmas Day) and the recorded warning were deliberately chosen to minimize injuries and loss of life.

Now the 911 lines and cell service is out?

Someone is pulling some Ocean’s 11 shit right now.

I think the Toby Keith collection was the original target of the bomb and something went wrong.

As someone else pointed out these are the tactics similar to what the IRA would use. Warning people of an explosion beforehand and at a time when there is little to no foot traffic seems odd.

No way the vehicle and suspects are not on a camera somewhere....can they be identified is a whole different question but I guarantee they are on tape and the tracing has begun.

Mobile meth labs don’t usually broadcast their imminent explosion. Though it would be sound legal policy to add such a statute.

It's a bunch of neckbeards alone on Xmas morning in their shitstained underwear throwing out whatever scenario they can dream up in their head. 'Checkered past' is an understatement.

A few Christmases ago I was planning on going to Alamo for dinner and a movie with two of my cousins. Girl cousin took way to long to get ready and we didn't make the movie. Being Christmas night the other showtimes were sold out but we were able to find a showing at another theater for 10:00. We had some time to kill and were hungry for dinner and literally the only place we could find open was a Hooters. The people eating Christmas dinner and Hooters that night were the saddest group of people I've seen assembled.
