The Christmas morning bombing in Nashville left a wake of destruction that was captured in dramatic photos and videos that made downtown Music City look more like Baghdad or Beirut.
Cellphone footage shot shortly after the massive blast caught victims wailing in panic and screaming for help as flames consumed vehicles parked along North Second Avenue and black smoke filled the sky.
The explosion, which could be felt for blocks, rocked the city just as dawn was breaking around 6:30 a.m.
Officials said cops were already at the scene, having responded to a report of shots fired about 30 minutes earlier.
When they got there, officers found an RV playing a recorded message that warned “a potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes,” Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said during an afternoon news conference.
A YouTube video, which Vice Mayor Jim Shulman seemed to confirm as authentic during a CNN interview, has audio of a female voice repeatedly saying, “If you can hear this message, evacuate now” just before the blast.
Witness Betsy Williams told CNN she remembered hearing the sound of gunfire at around 4:30 a.m., and then a “computerized message” from the RV.
“Evacuate now,” Williams recalls the female voice repeating several times.
She later heard the voice counting down, prompting her and her wife to run away from their apartment nearby.
“This vehicle will explode in 15 minutes,” the countdown said, Williams recalled to CNN. Then, “This vehicle will explode in 14 minutes.”

This is the RV that exploded in Nashville Friday morning. Metro Nashville PD. From NY Post.com.
If FBI never really solves the case and gives a credible answer on who did the bombing and why then we will know it’s coming from a politically correct and protected class like ANTIFA or BLM....or Islamic Group
We they solve it in a matter of days and it’s some type of right wing group that will be aired on every news outlet in the world....

She later heard the voice counting down, prompting HER AND HER WIFE to run away from their apartment nearby." (emphasis mine)
How many dozens of witnesses were there, that they could have interviewed? Yet CNN chose a lesbian witness to interview! Even with the bombing, CNN still has to continue to push the homosexer agenda! Pathetic.
Well, that “HER AND HER WIFE” clarifies the situation. Obviously not the owners of the Hooters restaurant.
;>)
If a vehicle has a recorded message saying vacate in 15 minutes GET THE HELL OUT.
And of course the police arrived after the fact.
When you need police presence for an emergency the only words that will get their urgent response are “officer down!”
Remember the guy with the new van covered with vinyl stickers of memes? Whatever happened to him or his case?
They didn’t want people hurt, ere the warning, so I am guessing a pro life movement will be blamed.
/ tag it sarc
Why not? They like hooters
Not to worry, when the FBI is finished investigating a alleged noose on a garage handle in an alleged white supremacists neighborhood they’ll get right on it
I’ve heard about the abortion clinic bombings forever.
But there were THOUSANDS of bombings in the 1970s by Leftists in America. Even after the Vietnam War.
Never hear about them. Never hear their agenda or cause or supporters blamed/shamed/cursed.
Remember when Nanny Bloomberg blamed some guy, probably overweight and middle-aged, upset over the passage of Obamacare, for the bomb filled van in Times Square?
1. This is your Color Revolution, on schedule. Nashville was not a random choice
2. The left needs to sow chaos to complete the election theft. Expect much more between now an January 20
Step-aside-Joe and ComeAllah have everything worked out.
Relax.
There are pics of the blast radius. On the net..
A great many autists are now strip mining the pics and vids to build a better idea of what was where.
My tired eyes showed that the blast pattern does not equate to the expected blast pattern in one spot that would be seen against the building wall.
Also the blast hole seems to well away from the wall, it honestly seems that the force of two or three blasts were involved, one to the left and right of the buildings edge.
Just my additional take on it.
Six Nashville officers ran into danger on Friday morning as they helped evacuate residents before a large explosion rocked downtown.
Nashville police and fire crews responded to reports of shots fired in the area of Second Avenue and Commerce Street and noticed a suspicious RV parked outside an AT&T building just before 6 a.m. Friday, according to spokesman Don Aaron.
At least six Nashville police officers acted quickly to start evacuating people from nearby buildings.
An officer also alerted the department’s hazardous devices unit, which was en route, when a “significant explosion” happened.
>> GET THE HELL OUT.
And uh... Godspeed, Night Owls...
This is contrary to the earlier report I’d read saying that they arrived after the fact. Thanks for the correction/update.
I had seen an account that an officer was injured by some concussion blast.
I’ve also read that this vehicle was a problem at 4:30 and that the warning went off 2 hours later with a 15 minute public address system alert.
Also sounded like in earlier reports that some people chose to remain indoors.
I have been in buildings that received bomb threats before (mostly fake but sometimes genuine). Always evacuate regardless. Error on the side of caution.
How long did it take the FBLie to figure out a door pull is not a noose? How dumbed down has our entire security appreatous become when it them days to figure out the obvious.
Who really needs an RV? How many people have died in RVs and when will these rolling houses be banned for good? Since I do not own one, yet, I am in favor of an RV tax to be used to subsidize the less fortunate that can only get by with tow behind campers.
