Christmas morning explosion rocks downtown Nashville

A Christmas morning explosion that rocked downtown Nashville, injuring at least three people and damaging dozens of buildings, is believed to be an intentional act, authorities said.
According to police, officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department were responding to a call of shots fired around 5:30 a.m. CT Friday when they came upon an RV parked in front of an AT&T transmission building at 166 2nd Avenue North.
The RV was playing a recorded message that indicated a bomb would explode in 15 minutes, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said during a news conference Friday.
Officers saw no immediate evidence of shots fired but they requested the department's hazardous devices unit and started to evacuate neighborhood residents, police said.
The bomb squad was responding when the RV exploded at 6:30 a.m. CT, police spokesman Don Aaron said.
"We do believe this to have been an intentional act," he said. "Significant damage has been done to the infrastructure there on 2nd Avenue North."
Three people were transported to hospitals from the scene, but none were in critical condition, according to Nashville Fire spokesman Joseph Pleasant.

    1. If all stage the power want sacrifices to maintain their elites positions aka the god of this planet

    2. @Free HongKong bullshit..a bunch of teenage skinny jean looters couldnt pull this off…sounds more like a certain group isn’t standing by anymore

    3. It wasn’t terrorism of any kind. It was a depressed person trying to blow up the AT&T building, and kill himself at the same time.

    1. Come on now, no accident that it was outside an AT&T centre. Somebody had a serious misunderstanding with AT&T for sure. No need to look for more than that.

    1. @pr0xZen however literally we don’t know why warnings were playing but what that effectively does is it makes people fearful which is just another term of terror

    2. @winesap2 both sides a guilty of the same stuff Peaceful protests the hunter biden laptop all suppressed by left wing media and not to mention Russia gate all four years of it

    3. @Joe Smith now what you stated is actually very debatable because let’s say someone was on top of a roof wanting to jump the people on the street would be fearful, scared or even terrified for that person which would effectively become an mode of terrorism even if it wasn’t said persons motives

    4. THE SILENT GENT Islamic terroism which is what I believe thier acting like would not announce they were gonna bomb something before they bombed it because the more casualties the better it worked for them. That’s like them telling us they were gonna crash into the twin towers before they did it. Yes that is considered a form of terrorism your correct but I don’t think that’s the what this lady commented about originally.

    1. Criminal Minds had a similar plot a while back, sans the loud speaker. It was all linked to a plot to kill a foreign leader in a US hospital. Harrowing at the lengths people will go to, to have their way. There’s a reason somewhere. I hope aothorities figure it out and stop the bigger plans.

    1. @Saint Scanderbeg I know you are a little too slow since you seem to be a cultist, but BLM got the thieves, the domestic terrorists are all yours.

    2. @Y H click the guy u tag (@) his subscriptions are all about guns and trump also his acc created pretty recent. HE SEEM SUS.

    1. The didn’t want to hurt know one sounds like just wanted to blow a building up . I know I live in close to Nashville still don’t have cell phone service at&t customers don’t Verizon customers have service

    1. Fiery, but mostly peaceful terrorist act. 😂😂😂In avoiding to use the right words, the MSM is accomplicit of this.

    1. We all have to get out of the habit of looking at the calendar for hope.
      The WORLD is f**ked. We need to all make concerted efforts to fix it, irrelevant to date.

    2. Yeah, I’m having a good time celebrating Christmas that I just searched “Christmas” and this is the first thing I see. I mean, at this point the year’s probably doing this on purpose.

  1. It seems to me someone is saying ” I can touch you…” Which means the next time there may be casualties

    1. Check your government first before pointing to other nation, remember 911 Afghanistan has nothing to do with it.

    1. @Mansfield they never blow up nothing.not one bomb. Now look at these Trump supporters.nut jobs.its time to release the u s military on these nut Jobs.

    1. @Ooga Booba The city doesn’t matter. It’s about the purpose of the bombing. It looks like they wanted to knock out AT&T communications in the area and they succeeded.

    2. @shao Or they’re trying to give him justification to declare it in the first place. Time will tell. Hopefully police will figure it out quickly.

  2. Honestly, this 15 min warning is such a Joker thing… I’m convinced we are stuck in “2020 – the supervillain movie prequel / origin story”.

    1. @Trace McSorley Yes. It’s a threat without terms, which is also what makes this infuriating, because it really takes no sophistication to do this kind of thing. Just a hate and cowardice most people don’t have.

    2. Why ? Thats how crazy conspiracy theories start. This could be just 1 crazy man. No proof of anything deeper. Lot of crazy bad stuff have happened only because 1 and only 1 person got crazy in the head.
