I’m not seeing any blur. Large brick building, few windows, but no blur.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say someone was trying to take out an internet node. Perhaps damaging packet info on the servers?

LOL. I was giving you a pass.

Stringbean and wife was murdered there some 40 years ago.

Not a place to be milling about. Nashville might be famous now but it attracts all.

Thats the rear support area for the AT&T building. The front is on 3rd street.

True, but harder to subpoena NSA than ATT.

Photos and video from the area show the narrow 2nd Street corridor—which normally sees a high volume to pedestrian and tourist traffic—with scorched storefronts, burned trees, and blown out windows. The block running from Broadway to Commerce St. on 2nd Ave. is home to The George Jones Museum, The Wildhorse Saloon owned by Ryman Hospitality (The Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium), BB King’s Blues Club, Coyote Ugly, Benchmark, Big Shotz, and Leon’s Candy store, among other businesses.

No word on the severity of damage at these businesses at this time, though many of the establishments are in historic brick buildings that appear to have withstood the explosion.

Hooters are always a motive/target for some. :)

Could be. 911 services went down in that area of TN though, and ATT handles the emergency services infrastructure and data so it’s possible that the target was emergency communications.

Why, I don’t know. Was this a demo? A threat? A warning?

I know somebody who works for ATT out West maintaining emergency services communications for remote mountain areas. I think they had some radical environmentalist attacks on their facilities a few years ago, but environmentalists wouldn’t be the likely suspects in this case.

However, it’s a reminder that ATT installations have been targeted with bombings in the past and that they are locations that could be important to terrorists of one kind or another. This particular location in Nashville was unmarked, so they had tp know it was there in advance.

ATT was the obvious target, went to great effort to avoid casualties...

The blur was odd. A “few steps forward” or a few the other way, and it disappeared to reveal... blank red brick.

Street level to first floor ceiling line un-obscured, only 2nd floor and above.

I see that now. I was a few steps north. Looks like they were blurring out the security camera. Wonder why?

Ok guys. After reviewing the videos and photos, I don’t believe the explosion came from the rv. I believe it came from underground, inside the building. If you review the CCTV footage frame by frame, the blast erupted through the sidewalk, just behind the white car that was parked 30 meters away and across the street from the RV. also there were at least 2 casualties, one of which was wearing a police uniform.

I did listen to the “American Rifle” song.What he wrote and sang is a reminder of what I “Old Country”. What he was talking the country 🎶 music of today, I call “New Country 🎶 Music”.
