NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A large explosion was reported in downtown Nashville early Christmas morning.

The explosion happened in the area of Second Avenue and Broadway near Commerce Street

They haven’t figured out the Vegas shooter but already declared this, “no foul play”...

"Per the OEM's Baghdad Bob."

The Nashville Office of Emergency Management has shoved its credibility up its keister and blowned it up.

Curious if the AT&T bldg was the target.

I’m wondering if ‘luring the police’ was just a cover.

“Unless tampered with or something goes horribly wrong....”

It did. By simple deduction there were shots fired on Christmas day at 5:30 a.m. in a downtown area of a major city where no one would be. The cops had to respond. and the device went off about the time they got there with the initial response, I think prematurely. I think it was a setup attack on the police from some idiot that is a supporter of defunding the cops. So since they aren’t worth much in his pea sized mind, he tried to murder them.

One of our best vacations was a tour of Nashville in 1996. What a great place it was!

We did all the touristy things...a day at Opryland, an evening at the Reiman and a luncheon cruise down the Columbia River, right past the big red brick building that was just blown up!

The best thing about Nashville was the people. It was wonderful to experience that fabled Southern hospitality.

I am praying for everyone affected by this incident, and especially for the three policemen injured in the line of duty.

“If you can hear this message evacuate now”

Voice sounds like a young white male... message just repeats over and over until the explosion..

[miserare]

Probably not the Muzzies.

They want as much loss of life as possible.

It sounds like a new twist on the tactic pioneered by the IRA who would put a smaller device in proximity to a bigger device. The smaller device would be triggered and when first responders showed up to treat the wounded, assess damages and secure the area, the second larger device would be triggered.

[miserare]

Yes.

I was never out west on the Columbia.

Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Curious if the AT&T bldg was the target.

If it wasn't, certainly collateral damage. Multiple reports have ATT landline and cell phone service in the locat area and north in parts of Kentucky and southeast in North Carolina affected.

[miserare]

Very much like the IRA.

Who, in the US,, is familiar with their M.O.?

[miserare]

Eyewitness says it was a woman’s voice on the warning.

747s run on diesel? I learn something new every day.

They run on kerosene.

[shadowlands1960]

Yes.. I considered it might have been a woman.. it sounds more like a young man to me though...

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Why would anyone assign the FIB to anything. They can’t even figure out the Vegas shooter yet.

They were probably in on both incidents.

(Gee, we can't figure it out)

I believe commercial jet fuel is called "Jet A".
