Nashville bombing aftermath captured in dramatic photos, videos
NY Post ^ | December 25, 2020 | By Bruce Golding

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.”

“Yep, probably stolen.”

Yes, but it’s somewhere to start. Get the forensics safari in motion.

Only when needed, though you do not point to something I specifically said so it must be all of my content.

Thank you for being an avid reader and a fan.

Any theory as to why Nashville? First question I had.
The FBI investigation will be as tainted as the crime scene.

“Look over here!”

Check cameras that are blocks away. Who comes and goes? When? From where? What’s underneath? Where does it go?

Concussions set off alarms that are assumed false.

“If you can hear this message, evacuate now”

Sounds like the terrorists wanted fear, panic and mayhem in the streets, rather than a brick wall between the explosion and folks.

Bill Ayers always liked bombs!

"When you need police presence for an emergency the only words that will get their urgent response are “officer down!”"

That's a LIE! SHOT'S FIRED, OFFICER DOWN, now that will generate a FAST RESPONSE. Wink, wink.

2nd way to get a FAST RESPONSE: SHOT'S FIRED, WHITE HISPANIC with a gun! Do I need the: /s

The most important video of the blast was from a video taken just prior to the blast and from about a mile away. What you see is a vapor trail heading downwards then the blast happens just as the vapor trail goes behind the buildings.

Is was an air drop of some type.

With all the video cameras that RV drove by you can find the point of origin.

[ CNN still has to continue to push the homosexual agenda! ]

Don’t worry. They mock God with it. He will deal with them.
