I'm a country mouse, but don't most cities now have the capability to not only sound street alarms (for tornadoes, air-raids, whatever)....but those units also have loudspeaker capabilities built in?

With this report We can assume that the bombers did not want to kill people they didn't want to kill first responders and they were targeting something specific I'm wondering I'm going to start looking to see if it was a shaped charge to go into the ground and disrupt some sort of cables fiber optics or data center....

Thats the line of questioning mill was pursuing too. I dunno, Is there an important enough facility/network there? With all the Backdoors china has installed, who even needs to disrupt the physical components?
Perhaps it is legacy media, trying to create relevancy, distract from election fraud, and make boogiemen outta deplorables.

Wait a minute!

The RV was broadcasting the message and the countdown to evacuate!

That would explain how the RV was suspicious.

Wow!

Yup that would do it. Have we seen more than one source reporting that the RV was the source of the warning?

Interesting idea there. The IRA used to steal headstones out of cemeteries and build their bombs on top of them. With the marble on the floor of a van; the bomb becomes a crude but very effective shaped charge. Perhaps that is what they did with this one.

money? whats that?
Okay! It broadcast a warning. Obviously this is politically motivated. Someone is sending a message. But to whom and what about we have yet to learn. One thing I'm certain of is that if tptb do nothing, there will be another bombing, assuming they had nothing to do with it. If they did it will be the same story with plausible deniegability.

No, only in areas where those risks are present. There are not many functional warning sirens anymore in New England that I know of (I'm in NY Metro area and we don't have them, just left over relics from WWII)

I would suspect that Nashville would have tornado sirens, but what would sounding a tornado siren do but keep the people in their homes, hunkered down in a bathroom. They needed them out of the area, not staying in it.

From the video, it sounds like the warning was coming from the bomb vehicle itself, trying to get as many people out in the streets as possible for mass casualty. It wasn't meant to broadcast to save lives, it was meant to panic people and get them in the streets.

UPDATE: Reran video. voice stopped a few milliseconds before the explosion.

I dont think so. On the captured video I just posted on the countdown, at 26 sec, the broadcast is still going at the time of the explosion.

So the source could not have been the RV.

Were the police broadcasting the warning?

I just had a thought.

What happens now when every prankster wanker with a loud speaker and an old cassette deck starts broadcasting more warnings to evacuate?

Nashville officials believe this explosion was an intentional act. Say they got reports of a suspicious vehicle parked outside AT&T (batman building) before it happened. Hazardous devices unit was en route with "significant explosion" happened.

This is not the batbuilding- that building is about three blocks away. The large, windowless red building you can see in the pictures is an AT&T building housing tech, but it's not the Bat Building (which is mostly office.)

Exactly, this is the old AT&T building that is where a lot of the equipment was/is - exchanges, switches, etc. The batman building is on Church Street a few blocks away.

That’s even worse than an office building. I work in an AT&T exchange building in Milwaukee. If the equipment inside is damaged, it’s catastrophic. Hopefully the damage is superficial. Those are strong buildings meant to withstand tornadoes.

Ok. I was wondering if it was a target. Not so much I guess.

Seriously, for years now, folks have been moving into the heart of the cities.
2020 has already changed that, with all the riots and stuff.

This is just another nail in the coffin of urban areas across the nation.

But suburban, and especially ex-burban land values are skyrocketing right now...

Elaborate setup to draw police away from some real target or heist? The whole warning thing seems too odd. I would think if it were a political message it would have had something like "Death to commies" or "All whites are racist" in the message.

It really doesn't fit their usual MO though. There's all kinds of things that are off about this, including having a recorded warning for people to evacuate the area.
Click to expand...


Yep.

That was one reason I suggested Antifa or their ilk (including BLM) first early on.

John Rich (from Rich & Big) said on FOX that the area consisted of a lot of pre-civil war buildings and a lot of famous country singer type bars etc.

Double wammy....capitalism bad, historic buildings bad.

The new sirens here can transmit voice also.

If it was meant to panic they wouldn't have gave people 35 minutes to leave they would have just given them just enough time to get to the street with only three people injured they didn't want to kill anybody IMHO

I don't get the countdown thing. WTH?

- Did the police receive a phone threat that specified an exact time the device would be detonated?

- Did a robot attempt to approach or open the vehicle?
Click to expand...

Apparently the countdown was being broadcast from a speaker on the RV.

This was a pipsqueak bomb with prior warning. This is an announcement of potential, a shot across someone's bow.

I noticed a hole in the side walk in front of the AT&T data center from the helicopter footage... It looks like a access or a external street elevator It was right in the center of where the bomb went off this was a target attack at the data center at AT& T

But Nashville is also a Democrat shithole. The mayor and most of the city council are Democrats and liberals. The Democrats approved a 34% property tax increase, and the residents aren't too happy. So, it may not be international terrorists, but it could be locals who are expressing their displeasure with the tax increase.
