Emergency services are responding to a massive explosion in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning.
Residents and first responders are being told to leave the area due to possible car bombs. Local media reports that the initial blast came from an RV.
There have been reports of gunfire before and after the explosion — as well as live ammo exploding inside of a vehicle that was ablaze.

This vid, 4:06, clearly indicates that the shell of the building did not defend from blast and/or fire damage.
Did you hear the recording? High resonation on creepy factor, yes?
“The mayor is way too casual. Yada,yada, Covid, car bomb, just a bad year.”
Perhaps it’s Antifa and he’s been told that directly by Antifa.
Well, the bar part was forged a little later. I think I received my fake Wyoming DL (computer generated!!) in 1975, at age 15.
See my last post, for link to vid and timestamp for clear OH view of AT&T facade.
Best I can tell, RV parked directly in front of the main AT&T entry.
Bad timer doesn’t sound right. You don’t park a bomb in a downtown area over 12 hours before it is to go off. You can’t park anywhere for more than 2 hours in a typical downtown area without attracting a meter maid or cop.
This seems like some kind of fear/warning operation.
How big an area does that switching facility cover? Also it was hardened...was it also a military site?
Not heard it yet, but any urban area does strae things to sound.
Except, any of the NFL events I mixed Front of House for. I always wanted some fader time experimenting with blending that high rise canyon delay and verb, with both dry and effected audio from a big PA and solid talent.
No joy yet. For some odd reason, I could not even get any reflections from a glass and crete facade directly across from the stage, not even walking to that surface,
remote mixing surface tablet in hand.
Direct sound only... no idea why.
FYI... one post blast vid showed a fair bit of cross street building facade collapsing well after the bomb went off, however... this linked vid shows two cross street buildings with the front walls completely gone and... nowhere near enough debris in the street to account for those walls.
That means the blast drove that masonry into the building, and... that the much lighter structural damage to the AT&T building, (still significant) indicates to me that it was... specially reinforced.
Closer to the epicenter, less damage , and typically, brick facades offer zero resistance to lateral or tensile loads.
The AT&T building brick does seem to be a facade, not structural masonry, and I’m not even sure how you’d get that to resist such loadings.
In the range of “exotic” construction technique. To me, anyway. Thickwall masonry, easy to do with rebar. Thin wall facade that mostly stops a lateral blast? Not something I could begin to pull off.
Or testing the response.
Merry Christmas, Brother. See you in the clouds sooner than later.
"False flag by the commies?"
Or he had his timer screwed up. . .set it for 12hrs AFTER he wanted it to go off.
^IF^ the cabal manage to pull this off you should expect to see more false flags targeting us then we’ve ever seen in the next couple years. The best false flags are very hard to spot at first. Look at Las Vegas attack Oct 1 2017 that ended up as a white nationalist attack even know the FBI claimed the motivation was unknown.
This video, at 8:50, left panel, ignore the presumably purchased talking heads.
Overhead view, AT&T to the right. The large white patch of ground is directly between max damage to buildings on both sides of the street.
Sidewalk panels, 2 or more, open to sub-levels (likely utility vaults, which then open into lower levels of AT&T), and at least two curtain walls (between vertical columns) on first floor, one on the second floor open, on AT&T side. All openings indicate significant thermal effects inside.
Most or all of two entire building facades open across the street.
Above that white patch in the street, I see iron red, (brick or rust) below it, closer to the camera, I see sulpher yellow, could be brick dust. All of these could be building material/debris, and that white material looks a lot like fire extinguisher or suppression material, but, iron oxide powder, certain types of... silverY metal dust... and obviously sulpher, have historical connections to... vigorous chemical reactions.
Very close to pure speculation above, but my gut reactions notice these anyway.
Video of the actual explosion itself lends to a belief that this looks a more like a comparatively slow burn of a huge, repeat huge, amount of low explosive material, than any high explosive used in commercial demolition or military grade weapons.
Homemade. Possibly ejected, unreacted fuel.
AT&T... that’s a large building. At ground zero, very little left besides verticals and cross members. Frame remains, all else gone, significant heat. Outside those three curtain panels, there are other openingss,but the facade is mostly intact. Still, you had a lot of heat and blast effect inside the “perimeter”, which was probably ducted to and affected large parts of the interior.... if... the interior structural partitions were not designed to contain such forces.
I wouldn’t bet money on anything inside ever being used for its intended purpose again, but I also wouldn’t bet against a fair quantity of distant components finding their way into future installs either.
If AT&T was the target, my inexperienced, long distance, Youtube based damage assessment, 50 to 75% hard kill in the one month time frame. That building wide network probably won’t function at all, except maybe for extraction of data, for weeks or months.
Perhaps one tenth of the damage to AT&T, compared to the older, more vulnerable buildings across the street, but enough damage done to structure, and more importantly infrastructure, to preclude operation. Assuming the building wasn’t of cellular design, for this type of containment.
Across the street, at least two buildings are without their entire facade. Figure at least two more who’s front facades are structurally MIA, straddling those two. Front walls visibly intact, but probably structurally useless.
Any of those could require a wrecking ball to bring down, or, could come down spontaneously at any time. IMO, they are done, never to be re-inhabited, but their longevity is up to specific construction methods, and detailed specific failures in structural components.
Without the front facades, the roofs or any given floors could come down, and these have bearing on the integrity of the three remaining walls of each structure.
With common walls in use, between adjacent buildings, any pancake or roof collapse failures could domino to adjacent buildings.
IMO, in the worst case collapse of all, none of the falling debris would reach across the street to AT&T. The only risk there might be vibration, in AT&T structural systems left “on the edge” from the initial blast, and even there, only incremental additional failures, not total loss.
Best guesses, from hundreds of miles away, highly subjective, but probably the best we’ll get unless some other armchair construction stiff chimes in.
AT&T, network node, probably done. Building repairable, if desired.
Other side of the street all goes away, the whole block. Depending on Nashville dot gov’s... ethics... a whole new development, lucrative, beneficial to those connected at high level. Prime real estate. Riverfront, insurance and Fed-funded, total reset, prime.
Not just your everyday propane tank explosion. The RV had a loudspeaker telling everyone to evacuate and that it was going to explode at a specific time.
Never heard of a cigar announcing it’s going to explode.
Yes and if you look at the pics, that had to be a significant bomb load.
Could have been targeting the AT&T building to mess with tech and communications. This reminds me of Ayers (and possibly Obama) and the Weather Underground bombings.
Could be...sounds like they were trying to warn off people in the area ahead of time...maybe a disgruntled former employee?
