True....
I would love for that to be true - a wannabe terrorist who doesn't understand what 18:30 is.... that would be hilarious.
Unfortunately, there are reports of a gun being discharged right before the alert started sounding from the vehicle. People were alerted by the sound of gunfire who woukld not otherwise have heard the warnings.
BTW, Police have now found possible people meat.
Large 'bomb' blast wrecks buildings in downtown Nashville
Downtown Nashville was sealed off on Friday, after a large explosion destroyed several buildings on Christmas morning in what local police said was an “intentional act”.
Nashville mayor John Cooper said: “Initial evidence does show that it was a deliberate bomb being set off in our community.”
At a briefing late morning, the FBI announced that the agency, along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, would lead the investigation into a blast that left three people with non-critical injuries.
Law enforcement officials in Tennessee’s largest city told multiple media outlets that authorities had also found possible human remains in the vicinity of the explosion. It was unclear how the remains were related to the incident or whether they might belong to someone responsible.
Authorities said they had received a phone call warning that a parked recreational vehicle (RV) was set to explode in 15 minutes. The RV itself began broadcasting an apparently recorded repeating message for anyone nearby to stand away.
The message, as captured in a recording broadcast later by local television news stations, said: “This area must be evacuated now. This area must be evacuated now. If you can hear this message, evacuate now. If you can hear this message, evacuate now.”
As Nashville police officers cleared the area of residents, the vehicle exploded, causing structural damage to several buildings, knocking down trees, and smashing windows for hundreds of yards.
“We had one officer that was knocked to the ground … and we are currently sweeping the area to make sure everyone is safe,” said a Nashville police spokesman, Don Aaron.
Aaron said police are not aware of other threats to public, but bomb dogs swept the area as a precaution. Authorities could not say if anyone was in the vehicle when it exploded.
Don Cochran, US attorney for Nashville, said the Department of Justice was directing its full resources to the investigation. FBI assistant special agent Matt Foster appealed to the public for tips. “We need your leads and we need your help,” he said.
Nashville police tweeted out a picture of the suspected vehicle caught on a security camera, saying it had arrived in the area at approximately 1.22am local time. It appeared to be a relatively old model with a pale paint job.
The ATF special agent in charge, Mickey French, said the agency had activated a national response team, including explosives experts to help investigate the incident. “Our main priority is obviously to keep our citizens safe and secure,” he said.
Images from the city’s entertainment district showed multiple buildings with windows blown out and masonry and rubble scattered in the street, and several burnt-out vehicles. Earlier images showed flames and smoke, and what appeared to be the charred remains of the RV.
Donald Trump has been briefed, according to the White House spokesman Judd Deere, who said that the president, who is spending the holidays in Florida, will continue to receive regular updates. The US justice department said the acting attorney general, Jeff Rosen, was also briefed and directed all department resources be made available to help with the investigation.
According to reports in the Tennessean, the blast was felt for miles and triggered a response from a police bomb squad as well as firefighters and other state and federal law enforcement officials.
“The explosion was significant, as you can see, the police department, its federal partners – the FBI and ATF – are conducting a large-scale investigation to this point,” said Nashville’s police spokesman. “We do believe that the explosion was an intentional act.”
Police later said the incident was linked to a vehicle parked outside a fondue restaurant, the Melting Pot.
The owner of the nearby Nashville Downtown hostel told the paper guests were evacuated to Nissan Stadium for shelter. He said he got a call early on Friday from his staff reporting hearing a “loud boom” and the fire alarm going off.
Nashville’s mayor, John Cooper, urged people to stay away from the downtown area, as police and federal authorities launched their investigation. Cooper said the city was lucky that the number of injuries was limited.
Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee said on Twitter that the state would provide the resources necessary “to determine what happened and who was responsible”.
Andrew McCabe, a former deputy FBI director, told CNN that an explosion of this size would be investigated as a possible act of terrorism. He said it was possible police were the target of the explosions given they were answering a report of a suspicious vehicle when it blew up.
Buck McCoy, who lives near the area, posted videos on Facebook that show water pouring down the ceiling of his home. Alarms blare in the background and cries of people in great distress ring in the background. A fire is visible in the street outside.
McCoy said the windows of his home were entirely blown out. “All my windows, every single one of them got blown into the next room. If I had been standing there it would have been horrible,” he said.
“It felt like a bomb. It was that big,” he told the Associated Press. “There were about four cars on fire. I don’t know if it was so hot they just caught on fire, and the trees were all blown apart,” McCoy added.

Anthony Quinn Warner Named as Nashville Bombing Person of Interest
Anthony Quinn Warner is a 63-year-old Tennessee man who has been named as the person of interest accused in the explosion of a parked RV in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning, according to CBS News. An RV similar to the one used in the Nashville bombing was parked at Warner’s home address in images available on Google Maps and Google Earth, Heavy discovered.
Jeff Pegues, a CBS News journalist, wrote on Twitter, “@CBSNews has learned the name of a person of interest tied to the explosion that rocked #Nashville on #Christmas Day. Multiple sources tell us that Anthony Quinn Warner, a Nashville area resident, had a similar make and model RV.” Authorities have not yet confirmed the identity.
A picture was starting to emerge of Warner as an unmarried, childless loner who was self-employed in IT. Over recent years, he lost a father and brother, leaving him with few family members left. Heavy reached a neighbor of Warner’s. She confirmed that the FBI and ATF were at Warner’s long-time house along Bakertown Road in Antioch, Tennessee, which is a Nashville neighborhood. He transferred the home to a Los Angeles woman a month before the blast, however.

" FAA shuts down air space over Nashville "
FAA shuts down air space over Nashville after bombing as military warns it will use 'deadly force' | Daily Mail Online
There is got to be a lot more to this than that is being reported. Why would the FAA shut down air space over Nashville. And when I did a google search on the above to see what other news outlets in the US had to say about it, Not one of them was reporting about it.Total news black out on it in the US.
Unless the Daily Mail story is false, or I somehow missed other news outlets reporting it, I would think it very curious.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
^ It was in the US news yesterday.
Snip:
The disruption at the downtown (AT&T) network hub had cascading effects at the airport and elsewhere.
Nashville International Airport said telecommunications issues associated with the blast caused the Federal Aviation Administration to briefly halt flights from Nashville.
The FAA said the ground stop was lifted after about an hour. "Pilots never lost touch with air traffic control," the agency said in a statement.
The FAA website shows that the ground stop was issued due to a ZME Frequency Outage.
ZME is an FAA air traffic control facility in Memphis that is responsible for controlling aircraft in the area at higher altitudes.
Flight service at Nashville International Airport "continues to be impacted by telecommunications issues," a tweet from the airport said around 3:30 p.m. CT.
On Friday evening the airport said in a tweet that "most flights are resuming, but there may be some delays."
AT&T still working to restore outages after Nashville explosion

The word is Dominion voting machines were stored there and a suit was won in Georgia to have them analyzed as part of a voter fraud alligations investigation.
From what I've read the building was engineered to be somewhat " blast proof" so we will have to wait and see what the FBI pulls out of it.
thanks to the thread title, i don't have to wonder if this happened in nashville, uzbekistan or nashville, peru.
My verdict: suicide.
* We have two threads on this topic.
Why so worked up Mr. Hat. You're acting like he is, was, your president.
Not to worry, our man Joe will undoubtedly reduce the US presence in the South China Sea and seal the deal on Taiwan and all those spratly Islands down under giving made in China a whole new meaning.
You're gonna love it as will your children's children. No red star emoj.
Hardly 'worked up', just saying it how it is after your adoration for the orange afterbirth and your seemingly insatiable need to think it isn't true.
So yes - get over it.
Still no source of this 'word has it'?
Oh, you've started on something new already . . . well, that piece of useless 'word has it' trash didn't last long
Well that will rattle Parler....
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/26/u...ion/index.htmlInvestigators looking into the Christmas morning explosion in Nashville now believe the blast was likely the result of a suicide bombing, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.
^ Read somewhere this morning that the FBI thinks he may be a 5G nutter.
^ Maybe.
