Supposedly 911 services went down throughout much of that area of Tennessee after the explosion. ATT runs the 911 services, that is, provide and maintains the fiber optic cable, switching, etc. I know somebody in another state who works on this for ATT.
So possibly the ATT building was the target.
“... possibly the ATT building was the target”
It’s looking more and more like that. Obviously the bomber was concerned about minimizing damage to humans...something you don’t see often. I doubt it was someone po’d over a phone bill.. this was political... we shouldn’t be surprised if it came from our side, if AT&T was the target..
